Two coaches Texas A&M fans would hate to see at Arkansas— and one they would love

The Aggies may not be playing Arkansas every year anymore, but they still don't want to see their traditional rival thrive.

Coaches Texas A&M fans don't want to see at Arkansas: Dan Mullen

Mullen has always given the Aggies a headache. In his time at Mississippi State, the Bulldogs often jumped up and bit the Ags, especially in games where Texas A&M fans thought that they should win easily.

He's another guy who obviously has a lot of experience coaching in the SEC, as he did so at two different stops. He brought Mississippi State to a number one overall ranking in the College Football Playoff rankings in 2014, and saw a lot of success in Starkville.

They haven't been quite the same since he left, either. His time at Florida saw some controversy, but he brought them to a lot of prominence as well, making them into a playoff contender in the 2020 season.

He's always recruited above his program's reputation, too, so he could be a threat on the trail for the Aggies. Overall, this would be a negative for Texas A&M fans if Arkansas does hire him.
