A Faustian Deal?
For whatever reason, since his hiring last December, I've seen several sportswriters who have wanted to compare Gus Malzahn to former Notre Dame head coach Gerry Faust.
This time it's Richard Cirminiello over at CollegeFootballNews.com, who has Malzahn ranked #6 on "The New Coordinators: The 20 assistants you'll need to know for 2006" list.
I mean...I realize that Gus making the "jump to the college ranks" is an intriguing part of the story. But is he really the first to transition from high school head coach to major college program coordinator since Faust in 1981?
(Also...former Razorback quarterbacks coach Roy Wittke made #18 on the list.)

What is so ironic is that Frank was one of Gerry's biggest critics at the time. I remember one telecast on ABC where Frank called ND's offense a simply high school playbook that had no chance of working.
