I agree with most that he said, you?

Stein and Fagg need to sit down and shut the heck up. We’re in this mess because of them. Let HY do his job.

The most interesting thing from that segment was that they think they have their guy.

In my opinion that's Kiffin. He seems like the best fit. He makes the most sense at this point, all things considered.

I'd be fine with either Kiffin or Norvell. Kiff has more power 5 experience and could probably pull from a larger pool of assistants. Both have good offensive minds. Both would put butts in the seats. Norvell may be a higher risk but in the long run have a higher ceiling while Kiffin would certainly stabilize the program.

If I were making the call I'd go with Norvell first and if he turned it down go with Kiffin second. I just think Mike would eventually win big here. Kiffin would be more Nutt like and Norvell would wind up being more like Bobby, record wise. I just think Mike is going to end up being the better of the two.

Bazzell was pissed... Straight up called out the board, JCP, the president, and the GOBN.


Apparently someone in high places criticized them for even asking Nutt if he had been contacted. Holy shite what primmadonnas we have in control.

No wonder the Last hire was such a screw up.

The BOT want people to continue to support the program and come to the games but don't want you to have an opinion about the team you support?
The fact that the fans want every bit of information about the coaching search proves they have a passion for the program and want to be successful.

No, I will not stay out of football. There isn't ANY DOUBT in my mind that I have watched more football than ANY of the BOT members. Put me in a room with any of them and I will destroy them in a discussion.

If you want people to stay out of football, own up to your failure and do better this time. The only way to silence the critics is to make a successful hire.

I sure do.

Hiring Chad Morris should mean that those responsible shut their mouths, and try to do a better job for the University at a minimum. Most of them should be replaced, or be looking for another job.

This certainly isn't 1980 when you had to get rumors through the grapevine. Many of us know exactly what shiteshow happened during the Morris hire (and the problems that led to his firing).

They aren't making decisions on an island anymore.

Bazzel said in the interview that he "heard it through the grapevine". To me, it sounds like he's getting worked up over a rumor, though the rumor does sound like something that could have been said, although he apparently doesn't know it to be a fact.

But regardless, Bazzel is right.

That was painful to listen to. They may have a point but it was like nails on a chalkboard and tough to listen all the way through.

ohhh, I absolutely agree.

Our media here sucks to high heavens.

I did DJ work on the radio years ago and would blow the majority of Arkansas media to pieces. Just need relevant info continually.

But, his point remains the same. GET OUT OF THE ATHLETICS, and stick to what you know.

I am glad he invited Petrino back, Petrino did it free of charge and all the funds went to the club for the Arkansas Sports hall of fame.

I am glad Baz does things to keep momentum going as well. I agree the BLT was a bit dumb, but God bless him for trying.

Dude is a Hawg through and through. But also tries to entertain for what he can. So....
