UA will go after him. I still think Helton is not safe at SC (but possesses nudes of someone even more important than Aunt Becky), ironically SC probably believes they’re too good for Malzahn.
Depends on his buyout clauses. It could be that he must be gainfully employed somewhere next year in order to receive his buyout. That’s why sometimes you see a lot of recently fired head coaches doing analyst work the following season as a stop gap before they go find another job.
