The feeling here in beloved Razorback land is that Malzahn took a definite step down both in prestige and dollars. Because of that obvious lowering of Malzahn'z status, the questions now arising are "why would anyone leave the beloved Razorbacks for such an insignificant position?" Many are not even aware that Tulsa is a Div IA school (many think Malzahn has returned to the HS level).
Many are wondering why the beloved Razorbacks can't get or keep a decent offensive coordinator. And some openly question if there is a problem in Fayetteville.
This is turning in to a real down-home hootenanny. The entertainment value is worth about a week. Glad it isn't our issue.
