Latest Coaching Update as of 11/26 7:00 PM

Malzahn In the Mix at Arkansas

According to Phillip Marshall:

1 p.m.

* We are told by very reliable sources that Arkansas State head coach Gus Malzahn is very much in the mix at Arkansas. Auburn also has interest, though it's not clear where he stands in relation to other candidates.


11:50 a.m.

* We are told the search for a replacement for Gene Chizik could, in the best-case scenario, be over in 3-4 days but is more likely to take 7-10 days.


* Despite rampant conspiracy theories, Pat Dye was not involved in putting together the search committee and will not be involved in the search or the eventual decision.


* Athletics director Jay Jacobs' search committee of Pat Sullivan, Bo Jackson and Mac Crawford have agreed to what amounts to vow of silence. First-hand information is not going to be easy to get.


* The biggest question being asked today is if Bobby Petrino will get an interview. We don't have a confirmed answer. If he does, obviously his chances of being the next head coach increase dramatically.


* To the best of our knowledge, no interviews are being conducted today. That does not mean there aren't indirect talks through agents in progress.
