I have been against his hiring and any talk about hiring him. Recently I listened to a bunch of in depth recruiting coverage people, and they say he has 5 stars actually considering SMU. Is it the money? They say if he was on a p5 he could probably land a top 10 class. I have been ardently opposed to him, mostly/completely because of Gus.

All the ground work is being set for him to be our next coach. How disappointed would you be in this hire?

Not hiring a good coach because he has a connection to somebody we didnt like would be the most Arkansas thing ever.

Honestly I'm waiting to see how they do in the ACC. Success there and im all for hiring him.

Arkansas is a step down from SMU.

Not happening.

SMU boosters are loading the bank accounts of recruits.

SMU is P5

He will not be the coach at Arkansas.

Lashlee just signed a new, nice, fat contract. SMU is a private school so it isnt publicly released. His annual base is around $5MM/year with incentives and some very large boosters behind him to load the roster.

I feel like we have had a few threads on him since the fan base started wanting Sam gone.

Yes, and I’ve been against it. Until all the recruiting analyst say HE is the reason the 5 star recruits want to go to SMU.

We saw what SMU can do when it comes to buying players, now that it’s legal will they pony up again? This could get interesting.

I’d coach at SMU over Arkansas 10/10 times right now. Like you said money. They have more and are willing to pay more. Also, nobody accepts constant failure and does nothing like the Arkansas athletic department, most teams, and fanbase(we have a baby back weak-arse culture, especially in FB). Some have said it in the past - but I think that we need to just commit to whatever the most realistic of the big 3 that we have a chance to win big at from the most comprehensive standpoint. Bring on the hate. But that’s where I feel like we’re at and we’re just spinning on a merry go round of stupidity(or always a step away).

This is for now. Their fans will have unrealistic expectations in less than 2 years after joining the ACC next year

The failure acceptance part seems like a + in the Arkansas column. He would have at least 5+ years if he doesn’t frick a volleyball player

Maybe, maybe not. But I think you would have to be full of yourself to think there is no chance at all of it happening
