Who is the splash that we could realistically get?
Hard to say unless we know how much money we have to work with and NIL assurances. Nobody worth a shite if we're on a budget.

Come on. Go on the record with who you think should be our next coach.
Rhett Lashlee
Jon Sumrall
Jamey Chadwell
In that order, but Chadwell is a distant third.

I'd rather spend money on NIL than a meh hire with a big arse buy out. If we could get him relatively cheap with good coordinators and big arse NIL, then I'd be OK with it.

I really don't fricking get this. The whole "who do we hire???" rhetorical question, as though there can't POSSIBLY be an answer.

Who do you honestly think we have a chance at, you fricking idiot?
Off the top of my head? Anyone who thinks five million dollars a year sounds good, plus a guaranteed 20+ million for getting fired for sucking at their job. You wouldn't happen to know anyone like that, would you?
Rhett just upset Miami today. Went to the playoffs last year. At SMU. Everyone needs to get over whatever weird high school bullshite they have against Rhett and support an AD who throws every available resource at him. If that AD doesn't do this, he's a fricking double agent still on Houston's payroll.

A fair answer. I was just hoping I wouldn't get an answer back like urban/saban/gruden. I was thinking the only realistic splash hire out there right now is james franklin and it has been reported he likes the VT job.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who is relatively high on chadwell. I think he gets liberty rolling again, but no way he get the job off the back of the past two seasons.

Honestly, I respect this answer. It's better than the "wHo We GeT?!" bullshite. The only reason I'm not in the same boat is because we have an administration I don't believe is capable of going whole hog all-in on this and not fricking it to oblivion and back.
I don't agree with the "meh" part. If you think it's meh, that's only because it doesn't excite you. That "meh" hire is currently 6–3 at a P4 program, just upset #10 Miami, went 11–3 and to the playoffs last year, and 11–3 the year before that. That's just objectively not "meh." Does it mean he'll succeed here? No. That's just how it goes. But thanks for having a real opinion at least, it's really a good idea in theory. Especially considering Bobby's achilles heel was his recruiting. Well, that and his offenses being so good that he couldn't keep his defense off the field.

He's 4–4, their year is entirely salvageable still if he wins out. With the exception of Kennesaw State, it seems like he could. And this is the first "bad" year he's had in six consecutive seasons.

James Franklin isn't a splash hire.
Hiring a fired HC the same year they are fired isn't a splash. Hiring Brian Kelly wouldn't be a splash.
If we are to believe Arkansas doesn't spend top half of the sec on football, NIL funding isn't up to par, and Arkansas doesn't produce any sec level talent, then the only answer would be Jeff Monken. If you can win double digits at a service academy you can make a bowl game at Arkansas.

James Franklin got fired for no real publicly discernible reason. I don't know who the frick Penn State thinks they are these days, but they can sit their asses down with us and Nebraska and do some reflecting. His results were on par with Joe Paterno. The guy who won their last NC 40 years ago and hadn't won the NC in 25 years before he retired and croaked.
Personally, I don't care if a hire is a splash. Wins are more exciting than a good press conference.

I don’t listen to Arkansas sports media but it’s pretty obvious that a lot of posters on this board were being gas lit to believe the cheapest possible option was the best option. I think everyone’s eyes have been open that maybe it’s not wise to hire an elderly has been.

Gas lit for Bobby

He was fired for losing to UCLA and anyone ranked at the time, shitty QB play, refusal to make a change at QB, and ADIDAS didn't like him representing his brand.
His issues were HDN level bad at Penn State.

Burn the shite down and send Bobby packing

It's an opportunity to stahp with all the he 21-5ers.
Really a perfect two birds one stone scenario, fire Pittman, let the Petrino would of/could of/ should of run it's course in the same season.
A competent AD would follow up with a clear vision forward with a HC infusing fresh energy/ideas/thinking for the program, but we have HY the above is fate fricking with us and HY will bring back someone from the Bert-Chaggy-Pittman era so the cycle can start all over again.

That’s such a BS line and you know it lol. He has a winning record vs non top 10 ranked teams.

He was 16-28 vs top 25 at Penn State.
Houston Nutt was 20-37 for comparison.
