Yup, and our "new" guy is already in the botom half of salary! Did not take other schools long to adapt and respond yet we STILL don't even have coordinators on board let alone a coaching staff? >:(
Geez, GAOwl…are you ever happy?? Who cares about ASU and what they are doing. If they want to blow their budget on a guy who has just as much head coaching experience as our new coach, good for them. If we win, Coach Pelini will get his due. I will say this about Malzhan…his offense went from National Champions to 104th in the country. In Coach Pelini's "down" year this year, his D went from 11th to 36th.

Re: Arkansas State's new coach.
But I listened to Coach P. on a radio interview on another thread and it sounded good that he is being patient to not settle or rush the OC/DC hirings and let those guys then hire who they want for their staffs. Makes sense, I just hate that he is out there now practically by himself while our competition has entire staffs recruiting all day every day. After all, there is only so much he can do by himself!

It is the best hire they could have made to make a splash. However, the way thier offense dropped off after Newton left doesn't make him look very good.
I think any offense would drop off after you lose a Heisman Winner that was the #1 pick in the NFL Draft and has a strong shot at being rookie of the year.
I don't think this is a "splash" hire. He coached high school football for over 10 years in the state of Arkansas and spent a year as the offensive coordinator at Arkansas under Houston Nutt. That spells out recruiting ties to the state. He was the perfect fit for an Arkansas State program that was looking for a new head coach.
He wants to prove that he can be a head coach in college football and he has a better chance of doing that at Arkansas State than at Vanderbilt.
