Gus Malzahn (born October 28, 1965) is the current offensive coordinator at Auburn university. Malzahn is a high school coaching legend in the state of Arkansas and the former offensive coordinator at University of Arkansas and the University of Tulsa. He has been described as "one of the sport's most innovative offensive minds, not just in the college ranks, but in all of football." On December 12, 2010, the Washington Post reported that Malzahn would become the next head coach at Vanderbilt University, replacing interim Commodores head coach Robbie Caldwell.
Malzahn graduated from Fort Smith Christian High School in Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1984 and was a walk-on receiver at Arkansas under then-head coach Ken Hatfield in 1984 and '85 before transferring to Henderson State University located in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, where he was a two-year letterman (1988, '89) and earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1990.
Malzahn is known for his no-huddle offensive philosophy. In January 2003, he published a book and instructional video titled Hurry Up No Huddle — An Offensive Philosophy (ISBN 9781585186549), that became the blueprint for the offensive wave engulfing the state. Several NFL teams adopted some of Malzahn's offensive strategies. Malzahn is perhaps best known for his formation, the "Wildcat", which became famous during his year at the Razorbacks, but is actually a variation on the single wing, a play that dates to Pop Warner.
Malzahn has been involved as a guest speaker and instructor at numerous coaching clinics around the nation.
