Never should have been an option, anyone too dumb to realize he was tricked by a call girl is too dumb to lead young men to victory.

The whole 2017 Norvell situation is quite puzzling. You had a young coach with a prolific offense going 10-3 at Memphis, and he doesn't get hired at Arkansas, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, or Tennessee, which all had openings that offseason.
Instead of Norvell, you got Chad Morris, Matt Luke (interim tag taken off), Joe Moorhead, and Jeremy Pruitt. Woof.

Bert had potential but he didn't take this job seriously enough to be successful.

But we knew that was what he would do.
Wisconsin fans wanted him gone for his last 2-3 years there. Stumbling into winning the Big10 during down season and blowing leads up there.

He would either been fired or have taken another job if the Arkansas job wasn't open.
That 2015 team has currently 13 players on NFL depth charts and the best he can do was a Liberty Bowl win.

It amazes me to see Arkansas fans clamoring for Norvell. He went 3-6 then 5-7 in his first two seasons with a loss to an FCS school. If he was inserted into the SEC West it would have been worse. And then our super level headed fan base would have ran him out of town. No shot he lives to year 4 at Arkansas

He showed improvement each year and didn't peak yet unlike Pittman did two years ago.

During the Chad Morris debacle, yes. During the Pittman hire, no, he turned us down.

Like I said. He’s a fraud. Would have been a terrible hire for us 5 years ago. Would still be a terrible hire today.

And some fans were clammering for Lashlee.
SMU looked like shite against Nevada

The projections I've seen put Nevada at, and this from their home press, 5-8 playing a not particularly stout schedule. This is not one of the Nevada teams of the past that could give anyone a good tussle.

I'm secretly holding out hope the Pittman things works out with Petrino. I do think Pittman needs to make sure we have a top 5-10 Oline since was supposed to be such a great recruiter and developer of talent. Gotta earn his keep somehow.

Seems we dodged that bullet

The way this fanbase judges a coach's entire tenure after just one or two games always blows my mind
SMU struggled in one game therefore their coach is total shite. Norvell is struggling to rebuild in his first two games after having a nearly perfect season that would've landed him a 5 seed in the playoffs this year (probably deserved to make it last year too) and he's a total shite coach.
This is why we can't have nice things. What Arkansas fan wouldn't kill to have FSU's last season? What Arkansas fan wouldn't kill to have a 9-0 conference record and an 11-3 season like SMU did last year? But we act like we're better than that and deserve to have that success every single year without any down years, and any coach that can't produce that sucks balls.

They look so fricking bad again. Zero improvement from week 1.
