Why it needs to be Lane... or...

someone like him without some of his baggage.

1. We need a high flying offensive scheme to succeed here at Arkansas against the Bama's, Auburns, LSU's of the sec. Sure... Defense wins championships... But please list the top 100 players all time at Arkansas and I bet 80 of them would be offensive (not personally) in class. We have great RB's here or close always, we have capable WR's, we have TE's, we have big boys who can be Oline... TX provides much of this as well via the high flying offensive schemes the HS's now use there.
2. We need someone of the age who understands youth of today. I worked for many years with kids, counseled them, mentored them, took them on trips that they would have never been able to do on their own, seeing places they didn't even imagine existed. It was awesome. Yet, I found myself longing to be a Dad first and foremost. And I am. Love my kids. But no longer involved to the extent above with other youth. Understanding their culture was a huge part of the success I had. Kiffen understands their culture, the culture of today, the PR, the social media aspect. The dude just connects to the talent that we need.
3. He has been there. Tenner, USC, Bammy.. he gets what it takes to win in the highest conferences in the NCAA. He has matured a bit. I watched his interview on ESPN and saw a young man still, who gets kids, who understands the public better, but still has enough edge to push the envelope a bit.. And you know what, I love to push envelopes. I have lived my life moving the barometer a bit in all areas of my work, and life. Love being the one who changes minds, work, and directions in others.. When possible.
4. Excitement.... The dude would bring a level of excitement in our program missing since the Grinch of Offense left.

OK, who is on board?

It will probably never happen, but dang if I wouldn't be for it. Now... Norvell may be a mature LK, without the baggage.. I just don't know. Haven't followed his social media, etc... ETAL!
