Here is what I know

are trying to convince you to NOT hire someone, that's who you need to hire.

Plus, what if he's here for two years, and does well and then leaves? At least we'll be in good shape to hire someone else good.

Applewhite was his OC at Rice....

I'm not saying Malzhan has made him, but his defense sure as hell hasn't made him in my opinion. I'd have to look up the stats from Rice two years ago though and too lazy to do it right now.

severely chastised for it...he is exactly a sheep cult hero...and he needs to get fired off...he has been surrounded by so much losing that it is pathetic....he has to know "somebody" to keep sucking that State teat...and I don't give a damn what "a nice guy" he is.

The guy has a Wrongful Death Suit pending @ Rice and sounds to be a Petrino Starter Kit. Lose the Sgt. Holka Hairdo and " No Thanks "

His offensive coordinator is Gus Malzahn. He invented the Wildcat offense.He was Mitch Mustian's high school coach and went to Arkansas with him. We all know the drama that went on with Nutt and Mustain while he was there, and he left Arkansas joined Graham at Tulsa in 2007.

all the people running it before and besides ol Gus will be disappointed to hear.

No coach in Conference USA is worth even considering. Kragthorpe put up the same numbers at Tulsa. He's worked out well for Louisville now hasn't he? Hell no! CUSA has yet to discover defense. It's all about the spread and scoring against ****** defenses. And, if he's so defensive minded, how the hell did he give up 70 to Houston a few weeks ago and get whipped by a sorry Arkansas team? You can forget Malzahn, he would just roll right into the head coach job at
Tulsa.

was coaching high school three years ago, and now he's ready to take over a Division I program. I think not.

From his BIO:

You read quite a bit. What do you read?</p>

My favorite book to read is the Bible. I read the Bible a lot. Not just spiritually, but I think there are so many things in the Bible that is common ground for building a winning attitude.</p>

My favorite book usually is the one I'm reading. I've been reading the book "The Secret". It's one of those books that validates what you believe in and talks about the power of your thoughts.</p>

I've read every Joe Gibbs' book. His books are a favorite of mine. I've read Bill Belichick's book, Bo Schembechler's book. Bear Bryant's book, which was actually written by Gene Stallings. When I took this job I read The Undefeated by Jim Dent. I don't read novels and fiction. It's normally books about leadership and positive thinking. A lot of my reading is faith-based reading -- books by Joel Olsteen and Jack Graham.</p>

TWO QUESTIONS:

Would Malzahn definitely try to come with a possible hire of Graham so he can stick it to Nutt each season?

And is it a bad thing if a coach is hired away from MSU because of the great improvements that were made here? Wouldn't that mean we were an improved team? And consequently more attractive to other coaches?

by the family of a player that died during conditioning. Just want to put this in perspective. Its not like the guy went Mike Brown on somebody.

Malzahn is more than capable to run a D-1 program. The only drawback to him is that "relationships" pedigree to hire a top notch staff. Gus would likely stay at Tulsa, they would hire him in a heartbeat. Graham is a blowhard and watching interviews in the Tulsa tv market, sometimes you can sense he gets a flustered when folks rave about Malzahn. Malazhn is one of those coaches that takes what he has and whoops your *** with them and you switch teams and he'll do it again. His High school teams were machines and his last one dismantled nationally ranked hs teams. The beatdown he puts on Tulsa Union was historic. He's a coach that gets the most out of whatever he has.
