Just my opinion on those....

Kirby Smart is a terrible choice. Nick Saban runs that defence and here is a guy who is used to getting the best talent out there. In fact even the highly rated players who do not perform are ran off to bring in more. We know Saban is a great coach with the best of the best talent. I am not convinced that even Saban would do well at Arkansas much less Kirby Smart. Its a risk to even hire Smart as a defensive coordinator IMO.

Guz Malzhan, I don't really know what happened. But something happened when he left Auburn, some even say he was not calling the plays at the end. But who knows, red flags IMO. Those red flags are likely to become public immediately if he gets hired as a head coach, especially considering Arkansas in the same division as Auburn. Unless it simply that he was not a good offensive coordinator Chizik would finally spill the beans.

Skip Holtz? Good choice, nothing bad to say about him really. But unless you are trying to save money, why in the world would you pick him over Gary Patterson?
