He was recently cut by the Giants and hasn’t been picked up by anyone. This could be the first season he’s not on a team since entering the league.

Would love to see him start a coaching career and find his way back to Arkansas.

I wish Grant Cook would get into coaching too. That dude's sharp.

I think no one wants to do the small steps like GA. Like Deion said he wouldn’t go he a position coach for Saban or even a coordinator. At least Brey Cook is doing the small steps.

I guess if you feel like you have unfinished business with the game, then you might be motivated to coach... but damn... there's absolutely nothing about coaching in this day and age that appeals to me. What a frustrating grind while having to spin way too many plates in this current NIL era.

Didn’t really follow him. I did follow that he was hired at the university. So that great.

He isn't cut out for any head coaching jobs yet.

He didn't have any prior experience.

Pea Ridge is 5A and they are growing so fast they are going to move up to 6A in the next five years or sooner.

He wasn't qualified for a school that size.

He is more suited for the college game.

Allen said he hopes to make it to one of Arkansas’ upcoming home games. He’s already been texting with former teammate Brey Cook – now in charge of alumni relations – about bringing his family to Fayetteville and meeting Silverfield.

One person that Allen sees on a regular basis is former Arkansas teammate and one-time NFL tight end AJ Derby


AJ Derby, there is a name I forgot about.

That’s crazy. Pea Ridge was a 1A school back in my day in the late 90s. I know Farmington has exploded since then but it blows my mind to see Pea Ridge outpace us.

I thought it was? Always hear you can’t tell where Fayetteville stops and Elkins begins.. unless you mean school size. Then I have no idea, but I bet it’s because there is only a 2 lane high way in.

Elkins has quietly been blowing up. So have Farmington and Prairie Grove. Just not on the level of places like Centerton. But I’m pretty sure you can still take a shite in your bathroom in Elkins and flush…

Last time I was up around the home office it looked like they had imported all of India and every blue hair. Bunch of people with masks on in 2025 and pro noun pins.

Centerton? Absolutely. That’s what happens when you eat arse all day - have to wear a mask. Could just go to the doctor and get tested or preemptively vaccinate for the worst things if that’s one’s preference. Don’t understand the masking. If you’re sick, don’t be getting everyone sick. I do get it for those undergoing chemo, etc. who are immunocompromised but I think most are just doing it out of ignorance/politics.
