2012 national champion.

6 final fours.

2002 NIT champion.

6 SEC tournament championships.

6 SEC regular season championships.

4 Conference USA tournament championships.

5 Conference USA regular season championships.

5 Atlanta 10 tournament championships.

5 Atlantic 10 regular season championships.



I don't see any similarities.

The absolute insane amounts of penis envy from other fans is almost as gold as hiring Cal.

Cal will do well. Particularly with all the nil money from Tyson. They are saving tons firing Americans and hiring illegals.

You typed this as you ate a Ballpark hot dog with Great Value mustard dripping off your chin.

Arkansas thanks you for your NIL contribution

No matter how much postseason success he ends up with here, he will routinely wipe the floor with most of these SEC scrubs currently projecting their wildest dreams of Arkansas failure onto a hall of fame coach

It’s obviously a retirement gig. This will be the final few years he coaches

And we're not paying a buyout for Muss or Cal. Any booster money is instantly and 100% spent on Arkansas Basketball. Cal will have a full roster by this fall.

I'm not sure what the downside is, even if he lasts 4-5 seasons.

That’s my impression. Social media, NIL, portal, coaching has become a young man’s game. If NIL is there and he can just cut checks, I think he will do fine for a year or two.

If you’d carry your lazy arse up there an pluck those chickens maybe they wouldn’t have to settle for migrant workers. But you’d never last.

Not to mention he left 30+ million on the table by walking away and not letting them fire him.

In fact, I gotta question his decision making based on just that alone lol

No. Arkansas didn't hire another Jimbo. They hired another Bobby Petrino, without the upside.

Honestly ... they hired Bob Knight at Texas Tech ... except this guy can't coach in game. Enjoy winning draft night and recruiting ratings.

No. Jimbo sucked outside of a couple years he had an elite QB. Cal actually has had success over the course of his career even if he only has one title to show for it
