He’s had better results than Nutt. But… I would take Nutt 1.0. Where exactly do you think we are as a program right now?
If you are okay with Nutt and his squandering of generational talent because his ego, that tells me everything I need to know about your expectations for the Arkansas program.

Not sure what you’re tying to prove. I see eight 8+ win seasons. With a mix of some seasons that would have you within the playoff conversation. No horrible seasons. I stand by that. I would take those results guaranteed in a heartbeat.
Mullen is an underwhelming retread that has a history of inconsistent performance and unwillingness to recruit at a high level to sustain a program’s progression. Hey, at least he’ll get a nice payday out of coaching at Arkansas with minimum effort on his part. Arkansas seems to love reward mediocrity.

I’m literally astounded that you post by far the best resume of any coach we could hope to have a slim chance at hiring, and you think it’s some sort of point against him
Hey, I get it coaching searches are scary. Let’s go with something safe and familiar to make us feel all warm and fuzzy.
Meanwhile, other historical bottom tier teams are taking chances on coaches with potentially higher upsides. Indiana, Texas Tech, Vandy, and Ole Miss (spit) have shown what the right coach and administrators aligned can accomplish. I would rather take a chance on a Campbell, Eric Morris, or Alex Golesh than prodding along with some retread that has proven in the SEC that he does have what it takes to succeed at the highest levels.

Easy to say that. Imagine if Sam had turned around and got in a fan's face for saying he's on the hot seat. He'd be universally hated immediately
Arkansas administration pays coaches very well to run the football program and win football games. This is NOT a popularity contest. Win football games and the rest will take of itself . Don’t win enough games be fired and hire another coach. That’s how it’s always been. I

He gets less resources than the top G5 teams and still wins in P4 conference.
Exactly, Campbell is the epitome of doing more with less while Mullen aka Nutt 2.0 does less with more resources.
Mullen was so good teams were beating down his door for three years to get him to coach their programs instead of broadcasting much like Nutt after Ole

It's more of you have a pretty defined list of names at this point and it "what about Dan Mullen?"
He's not on the list, why should he be?
Because.

Mississippi State did not have more resources. They were below us in the pecking order before Mullen got there.

What happened at Florida then? What obstacles were in place for Mullen that led to his dismissal?

My understanding is he butted heads with big-wigs there or likely would've been given more time. He had one bad year there and pretty good results outside of that.
I'm not saying he's perfect. I'm saying he's miles better than Campbell, and the G5 guys are shots in the dark at best.

Then why does Campbell receive interest from major openings every season while Mullen received interest from only UNLV?
What do you know that the rest of the world does not?
After all he's miles better, so there should be something to prove this theory of yours.

Mullen has a reputation as lazy recruiter and an arrogant arse. Arkansas has never had more talent but made their name on being better conditioned, disciplined, playing smarter and harder than more talented teams. Mullen doesn’t seem like the answer to those needs. To me he’s another retread looking for a nice payday from the gullible Arkansas athletic department and boosters.

Disagree, rather take a chance on Campbell or top tier G5 guys than a retread that goes for Petrino as well.

Sure. Mullen won more consistently at a harder place to win.

Hell if I know. Good agent? He was a hot name when he had Purdy and Breece Hall. Haven't heard many going after him since. I don't even think Mullen was trying to get back into coaching until recently.

You think Ms State and Florida are harder to win at than Iowa State?
Do you have to be reminded constantly to breathe?

He was with interest coming only from FCS schools before UNLV.

Florida no, Miss State yes. Not particularly close, especially in 2009.
Campbell's schedule is much easier than what Arkansas or Miss State has to face year to year

This is just disingenuous. And one reason why having honest conversations on here about who should be the coach is hard.
No way in hell you could really think mullen failed at Ms state.

What did he accomplish at Ms State?
Play for an SEC title?
Win a major bowl game?
Ms State had accomplished this before Mullen did they accomplish this with him?

If Mullen is HDN, Campbell is Chad Morris
