Even worse...who does State get to replace Malzahn if the worst case scenario comes to fruition? That team deserves Malzahn. State deserves the recognition his name brings and his coaching prowess. They earned it. It would be a crying shame if he was to be snatched up by the razorbacks. When the Cajuns and the Red Wolves meet up at Cajun Field...I want it to be Hud vs. Malzahn. That's good for the conference, good for both schools, and good for us the fans.

I think his name will bring some attention to the conference next season as SEC fans check in to see how he's doing. I do see ArKansas getting rid of this guy. He'll take a year off and land at USC in a couple of years when they get rid of Kiffin. I know USC had a good year this past year, but that won't last.

I don't see USC going anywhere...especially not this year.

Relax.

1. Arkansas will not fire Petrino. They have some big pocket donors who will make sure of that

2. Arkansas would never hire a coach directly from Arkansas State. They've been going on for years trying to pretend we dont exist, attempting to hire our football coach would prove something to the contrary.

3. Even if crazy stuff happened and they did fire Petrino, they would most likely hire an interim this year because of the chance at getting a bigger name after this season.

ESPN reporting CBP is gone from Ark. Official presser in about an hour.

Arkansas did the unthinkable...they fired Petrino

I am not surprised in the least. The man effectively paid for sex with public money.

Interesting to watch his initial press conference now, after the fact, and how boldly he was just flat out lying.

Guy from Athlon sports just Gus and Hudspeth are the top candidates with Cristobal as a back up.
