Malzahn making the most of his shot

Malzahn making the most of his shot

Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn spent a year on the Arkansas staff as offensive coordinator in 2006. Of course, the Hogs’ head coach at that time was current Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt.

To say it was one big, happy family would be a wee bit disingenuous.

Nutt, coming off a 4-7 season, felt pressured into hiring Malzahn, who was putting up ridiculous numbers with his spread offense at nearby Springdale High School and had several big-time prospects on that team, including quarterback Mitch Mustain.
