Not even melting.
I saw little difference between Golesh, Silverfield, Morris, and the other crop of mid-major coaches up grabs.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our program is straight arse to people who aren’t Razorback fans. The current crop of high school seniors were shitting in diapers when Petrino’s motorcycle sent the program into its death spiral.
Any coach that comes here is simply looking to pull a Lane Kiffin - get a couple of years of some success - then jumping ship to a real program.
I hope that Silverfield succeeds so that we can sneak in to the inevitable superconference.

Golesh didn’t have FedEx pumping money into USF’s NIL. Pretty sure Memphis had everyone in their conference covered, for several years.
Tulane, USF, & Memphis are the top 3 NIL schools in the American.

Feel the same. People that don’t live out of state truly don’t realize we’re like an Oregon State or Washington State type program to the rest of the country.
“Oh cool, they won 7 or 8 games? When does the rest of the SEC play?”
People still don’t even take Ole Miss that seriously…
If we’re not willing to do what Texas Tech is doing for the next 5-10 years, get used to cycling whatever coaches that are basically a coin flip and likely landing on the losing side more often than not.
You average fan also isn’t going to take Tech that serious. Oregon has been doing it for 20 years and are barely on the cusp of being taken seriously.
It is what it is but we’re probably splitting hairs with these G5 dudes.

Our athletic facilities are just as nice if not nicer than yours, we still have the T Boone Foundation and have many newer projects continuing. Go look at our athletic village, and the best college golf course in the country Karsten Creek. Osu always renovates and invests. Plus we have other oil donors lol. We’re 3 hours from DFW, hell I’m from Houston and many of us went here over A&M. Just wait for the difference in spending from Gundy to Morris.
Mike Gundy was the issue and morally hated paying for recruits. Instead, he wanted to pay the upperclassman first for sticking around…big loyalty guy. Or use NIL money for coaching contracts because he hated replacing coordinators. TBoone and our other oil donors disagreed with Gundy his entire tenure. Gundy wanted to avoid recruiting battles and throw 20lbs of muscle on the small town high school hero which can only get you so far.

Morris was the different one. He won with less talent. Incredible talent evaluator… great at finding under recruited guys… a skill that’s actually translatable to here.
Credit to woopig20 for being early on the Morris hype train
We let Okie lite have him for whatever reason.
