Trouble in Hog Heaven
The departure of offensive coordinator Gus Malzahm is an embarrassment and but no real setback for the Hogs. Since three Springdale parents met with Athletic Director concerning alleged representations made to the sons in order to obtain commitments to play football at the University, this parting seems to give credence to that complaint, since Malzahm’s particular style of offense was to have been used.
One of the Springdale students, Damien Williams, has transferred to USC. It is probably true that recruiters for other universities can build a circumstantial case that the Razorbacks will say anything to get a high school star to sign on the dotted line. Recruiters will always use whatever arguments are available. I fail to see how Arkansas’ shaky quarterbacks could have pulled off a high powered passing offense.
Coaches come and go, and we must wish Gus Malzahm the best. Arkansas had a 10 – 4 record, won the division championship, played in the SEC championship game, played in a respectable bowl game, and are ranked 15th nationally. When Darren McFadden, Felix Jones or Defensive coordinator Reggie Herring quit, I’ll be worried.
