Arkansas Exodus

Tulsa's that away!

The Hawg revolt has turned into an exodus. Gus Malzahn, Arkansas's offensive coordinator, left abruptly for Tulsa Monday, to be the offensive coordinator for new Tulsa head coach Todd Graham. Malzahn got the job at Arkansas because he was the coach at Springdale, Arkansas and held sway over four blue chip prospects including uber recruit Mitch Mustain. Houston Nutt, desperate to land the Springdale kids to save his job, gave Malzahn the OC job. Before Malzahn left, the Springdale recruits staged a revolt. It seems that they had never seen Arkansas play before signing with them. They had no idea they weren't going to Texas Tech and looked on in horror as Darren McFaddden lead them to the SEC Championship game and ten wins by running the ball.

It looks like one year will need to be enough for these guys because Mustain has requested his release. He joins star receiver Damian Williams who has already transferred to USC.

I've had a few thoughts on this already, but I remind these guys that when you have Darren McFadden as a teammate, you don't throw the ball 50 times a game. Good riddance.
