ATLANTA -- Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn says his wish is to remain Auburn's head coach in the future.
Following Saturday evening's 28-7 loss to Georgia in the SEC championship game, Malzahn addressed reports that he will be offered the head-coaching position at another SEC school, Arkansas, which fired Bret Bielema over Thanksgiving weekend after five seasons in Fayetteville.
Malzahn's Arkansas ties run deep. A native of Fort Smith, he spent two seasons as a walk-on wide receiver with the Razorbacks in 1984-85, made his name as a legendary high school football coach in the state, and also did stints as offensive coordinator at Arkansas and head coach at Arkansas State.
