Malzahn has been a good recruiter through the years but he also has a rep for being difficult. He and that Arky coach couldnt get along at all.
He is pretty interesting in that he ran a power I form offense at Arky, an EXPLOSIVE passing spread w Golden Hurricane, then that 90% run spread at Barn. He has a lot of playbook in that brain.
I dont want someone else calling plays but Id like to see us influence Mullinz a bit. It would have been nice if that were SOS. Too bad he is gone.
Remember Creyer and Rich Rod hooked up for a bit back in the day. Rich Rod adding to that modified Notre Dame playbook Meyer/Mullinz brought and Creyer exchanging defensive tips and ST stuff with them. It was pretty innovative at the time.
Remember we hired Barns old AD as our second in command. There may be a comfort level but I have to assume he gets swept up as HC somewhere quickly if this crazy thing were to happen.
