It would have been impossible for him to win the press conference right away. He's not super charismatic or engaging. Just puts off nice and energetic vibes. My theory is this gave him time to "show" his work ethic where it matters most- in state.

That would be incorrect Hunter will be chairing the committee and won't be back in the ville until Wednesday night/Thursday.

They did learn from Muss to hit the ground running with social media and media appearances.

One of his first stops was practice to meet with Cal.

The delay will change the tone and questions asked for sure.

its a 30-45 min flight from Dallas to Drake. He could have done both.

I am clinging to the hope that this was Coach's calculated idea. You cannot take that away from me

Kinda looks like Scott Fountain will be retained

He’s good with kickers. Wish we’d have better returns

Maybe already said here…but I think it’s a good move to delay it,

Let a little reality set in….then he can announce staff and recruits and show some actual work done.

Let LSU win the press conferences, let’s go win the NIL war.

I’m with you. I like the fact CRS can get the lay of the land and work the phone and be better prepared for a PC. Also allows for a simma-down period

Ah didn’t realize he was a past commitment

His post on X sounded like he just committed

So for a month prior to being hired officially, Silverfield was trying hard to flip guys to Memphis from OU, Missouri, etc..? Sounds like he had a memorandum of understanding in place at Arkansas for a month prior to being official

Yeah, and I think that cat that ate the canary smile from Smith says a thousand words too.

Yeah…I’m thinking this was the hire for a while. Thinking that though brings a whole new list of questions lol

It certainly adds a dynamic to the 3 consecutive losses by Memphis in November

Without those losses, Memphis is in the playoff conversation

Imagine how our fans initial reaction to him being the hire would have been different had his record been 11-1 & not 8-4

At that point who’s to say one of the bigger schools wouldn’t have snatched him up first. Having him locked up a month ago might’ve stopped that from happening

Just listening to this, it sure sounds like it would just take a little bit of effort for Silverfield to get Kane.

I'm telling you if he flips Archer and gets the Lindsey kid his approval rating with the public will go sky high.

Again not saying he'll win or he's even good I'm just saying public perception from the masses (not us die hard fans on message boards) is that Archer is the biggest fish in a long long time.

Again I'm not even saying he is I'm just saying that flip will earn him a ton of good will
