I don't see Gus going to Arkansas unless Bama crushes them and the Auburn fans throw a fit.
Maybe Chad Morris? Mike Leach at Arkansas would be fun.
The bigger hurdle is Arkansas getting an AD, not an Interim AD and certainly not a woman. That's an unforced error on the university's part, IMO. They knew Long was likely gone for over a month. Should have had another AD lined up for a quick hire within a few days of Long's termination. Naming the Interim just delays things from progressing.
There are a few people that they could hire as AD that Gus would be comfortable with, I think. The timing may not work, however.
If they can get the timing thing to work, Gus and Christie go home, from what I'm seeing.
Naming the gal from Indiana as Interim AD WAS part of the plan. She gets a very nice resume addition and the folks that want Malzahn get their target.
