From the: "Bigger Picture Dept." Auburn had a "pipeline" to Ark. prior to Malzahn's arrival, and as also stated above, there's not enough talent in Ark. to really sweat it one way or the other. Could be a very smart hire that Chizik allowed Malzahn make to set up Malzahn's departure, which will be forthcoming in a year or 2 if the offense continues to produce, and/or get more prolific. Prevent a Nallsminger type situation in the near future when he wants to keep the same offense/continutiy of offense post Malzahn.
