re: Coaching Search Thread

the ones prior to Sam taking the reigns off? or after?

The ones prior to the Defense becoming at least more solid dog crap, or when it was still runny?

Since Pittman was fired Petrino has lost 4 games.

The Vols featured us turning the ball over 3 times and Green getting sacked 5 times. Despite this being Petrino's handpicked offense with his players... not his fault. Clearly God miracled a loss for us.

A&M we lost a shoot out. I'll actually agree, not his fault.

Auburn. Sigh. We turn the ball over 4 times in the 4th quarter and lose to a team in a dogfight to be worst in the conference. Even though Green had a complete meltdown it wasn't Petrino's fault despite admitting he never addressed Green's faults in the off season.

Moo State, the worst team in the SEC... before beating us. Our offense essentially disappears in the 4th quarter, didn't we gain like 15 yards? Petrino has a temper tantrum on the sidelline and the team falls apart. Well, obviously the refs were out to get us and Petrino was just lulling Moo State into a false sense of confidence, he just lost track of the time left in the game. Couldn't be his fault.

We have three games left against three teams that have some issues. Be nice for the greatest Arkansas coach since Hatfield to win just one of those games.

Yes, Bobby is an offensive genius. But you know what? I'll say it again. I don't care if we score 35 points a game. I care if we score 3 points when we have to have it. We haven't done that.

Whoever you think we could realistically get, 99% chance they'd also lose all the games we have if they took over when BP did.

I just think it's goofy to judge Bobby off this season, when he has decades of coaching experience you could look at. There are 2 seasons that seem fair to say he did a subpar job.. the 2-8 Louisville year, and his last season at Missouri State. We know there were some personal circumstances around the 2-8 seasons. And we know in his last season at MoState, that he went to Fayetteville and was leading in the 4th quarter... it's hard for me to say he's lost it based on that season.

I'm afraid we're going to pass on BP when he's our best realistic option, because we're prisoners of the moment.

Well of course we aren't fighting with them, they have better resources, AD, name, record, blah.....

that is one of my points. And if Kiff goes anywhere.. .we have another to consider in OM, no to mention several other openings could easily be viewed better than Arkansas with Hy at the Helm.

What I would do, Fire HY, Hire BP full time with the caveat of throwing 2 mill plus at a incredible DC, put money into the portal and NIL and win some dang games.
But in stead we will hire an up and comer who sucks, doesn't have nil support, had HY as an AD, and is in over his head in the SEC...WPS friends!

LSU and Florida are fighting over Kiffin
Auburn will get Sumrall or they could possibly promote Durkin
Penn St is going to hire Brian Hartline

Once again you never guys never have the balls to state what you believe. You just cry like women. Because stating an actual opinion like I don’t like Bobby or I’m a retard who wants Eric Morris comes with criticism. Nut up and say who you want.

We didn't fire Chad for going winless in the SEC his first season. I don't really even remember there being much pressure from the fanbase to do so. But we're going to let BP go for it, in what's not even a true first season?

---

We fired Chad because the stands were empty. End of story.

They were empty because he showed no signs of improvement. Bobby has shown improvement within the season more than Sam showed in his 4 years after his best season.

It’s not about who I want. (I’ve stated several times I’m good with Franklin or Goelsh)

I’m just trying to tell you BP isn’t getting the job nor has he done anything to garner that consideration. We’re still losing the same way we did under Pittman.

Bizarre… almost like it’s a Pittman team

He’s just the absolute best HC willing to take the job at Arkansas. Considering our AD and board, you’re probably right.
