Arkansas "dead serious" about getting Gus. Figure thrown around is $50 million for 7 years.

Arkansas interest real as Auburn's Gus Malzahn wants to be loved -- and paid

That's a touch over 7 million a year which is about what I had assumed they would offer. But then comes the 13.5 million dollar buyout. Gus's current contract averages about 4.5 million a year and run's through the 2020 season. Auburn could easily match 7 million, or probably keep him for 6 because of the buyout.

Or, we could let Arkie buy him out and we could put that money into a war chest to go after a bigger hire. The musical chairs will start again when F.S.U. goes to hire. So we'll see.

You saying Auburn is no a big dog? Auburn with the right coach is smack in the middle of the best recruiting States.
