Unless he falls on his face in Jonesboro(unlikely), is there any chance he wouldn't be the first call they'd make if they were to end up with an opening a few years down the road?

Almost none. Still divides the base because the Nutt thing.

Nope. The whole Nutt/Malzahn era at Arkansas was contentious. Still some boosters who think Malzahn undermined Nutt.

USM fans wanted to fire Larry until recently.

Yes, 7-5 seasons don't get it done for us. That's what we had prior to Fedora. He promised more delivered less and another 7-5 this year would have turned up the heat. This year he delivered we wanted him to stay, but knew when he came on board if he did well it's adios.. And he landed 8.8M from UNC not a bad return on a 5 yr investment....
