The Mississippi State Football team will take on three teams this season which have coaches who might be coaching for their jobs. The first they will square off against is Les Miles and the LSU Tigers. Next will be Gus Malzahn and the Auburn Tigers.
Gus Malzahn has had an interesting coaching career. He spent most of his early career coaching high school football, most notably at Arkansas power program Springdale High School from 2001 to 2005. His college coaching career began when Houston Nutt hired him as offensive coordinator for the 2006 season.
The 2006 season with the Razorbacks is somewhat emblematic of his coaching career.
