Gene Chizik says Gus Malzahn will coach Tigers offense thru Chick-fil-A Bowl shortly after it was announced that Malzahn would take the head coaching job at Arkansas State.

The Associated Press reports, “Malzahn began his coaching career in northeast Arkansas at Hughes High School, eventually moving on and winning two state championships at the private school Shiloh Christian in Springdale, Ark.  He later took over at Springdale High in the state’s largest classification, going 14-0 in 2005 and winning the state championship while finishing in the top five in most national high school polls.”
