Only thing I don’t like about Briles is inside the 20, but I also still believe part of that was Pittman telling them to slow down.
And the sweeps and end around.

frick it.
I'm good with hiring them both, HC/OC at this point.
We can do tremendously worse

What the heck...hire Gus or Bobby and Kendall as OC...make Art the 'consultant'. Yes...winning really is all that matters in this case.

Will it? I have no idea. Like you said, the PTB haven't shown much willingness to do what's needed in a while
Can it? I believe so. I'm not talking about being SEC or Natty Champs every year. But I do think we can compete at a fairly high level with a chance at the expanded CFP at least every 4-5 years. It would take the right coach and commitment from the PTB though.
Barring an extreme turnaround this year, though, I am definitely looking ahead to basketball and baseball season.

Was not saying that we would. Unfortunately, I agree that we won't. I was just stating that I'm fine with some baggage. If a coach can come in and make us respectable / not a laughing stock I won't be among the fans standing around clutching my perverbial pearls.

Arkansas has one of the top 10 NIL collectives in the entire college football world, so the support is there from everyone outside of the university and AD. I was actually surprised to learn that we were in the top 10 in NIL, but sure enough we are.
A great coach will see that as an opportunity worth taking. In-state talent doesn't matter as much anymore with the transfer portal, you can go out and lure the top players from smaller programs with NIL deals and a chance to play at an SEC school - quickly becoming one of the only two or three actual conferences worth anything, probably the top conference if we're being honest.
There's fan support from an entire state and top of the line facilities, a nice stadium and opportunities for players to become rockstars on Hogs+.
We have all the right makings of a higher tier program, just need to get the right coaching in place and shake this losing stigma that follows us around. That'll take a complete overhaul of the personnel and a complete overhaul of the attitude and preparation. Half of winning in football consistently is playing with the confidence that you CAN and WILL win. We're missing that killer instinct under Sam and our last few coaches.
We need a hard arse, young and hungry bright mind behind the helm. The rest is there for success, we just need a coaching and mentality overhaul.

I don't believe you!
There is no way that we are paying top 10 and this is the product we have. It may be collected, but evidently not being used correctly. quote:

The stigma is losing, the stigma is historical in hirings/drama/firings. Kind of like tennessee. Look at what they have gone through since Kiff left them. And they have a much better recruiting area than we do. THe change needs to happen in fans as well. I do not believe that we have the stamina for a rebuild, the way we would have to have it. The Clemson way, etc.
