Butch isn't a retread he's never failed at the college level skip has proven he's good at the level in college he is at and a massive failure at a small step up which far from the huge step up into the sec.

He was is USF's Chad Morris absolutely destroyed their program a few years removed from being a major player on the national stage.

With where we seem to be in the coaching search, I would be ok with Butch, Drink, and even Pittman. I don't see a "Petrino" falling in our laps this time.

At least with Butch you know he's going to put together a sec level staff that can coach which is what this roster needs.


You mean with retreads like John Chavis? No established coach would chance working for a 70 year old HC at a rebuilding program. Give me young hungry coaches trying to prove themselves. frick that SEC pedigree shite. Chavis has it, Joe Brady didnt. It’s overrated.

Pittman would work for him.

Morris was a hungry up and comet trying to prove himself plus had all the Texas Highschool connections being a legend in that state and all.

Hard pass.

Lol your right Pittman would never work for Butch Davis nor would any other respected coach. But they would for the second year HC at their second job as HC.

I am of the opinion that the game passes everyone by at some point and at the age of 68 Davis days of being able to field competitive p5 teams are done.

Pittman would work for neither as long as it’s at the University of Arkansas. Oh but he would’ve under Kiffin as part of the $10m coaching pool.

Guess someine needs to inform saban he's past the expiration date.

Bill Snyder must of missed this memo when he came out of retirement to rebuild the Kansas State program for the second time.

Honestly I’m not opposed to Davis. There’s something to be said about brining in a vet like him or Miles that knows how to run a successful program to right this ship. I’d much rather go that route than letting Lunney kick the tires on a brand new head coaching career.



This. We could do a LOT worse than bringing Davis and letting him build us back to respectability.

He's one of the few that has the experience to know what it takes to right the ship, and he knows what a winning program looks like.

I wouldn't lose my shite if it were him, this is basically his dream job and he'd work like it is. Even if we have to move on in 5 years, I think he would've built us back to respectability

Kids nowadays will tell Butch to go frick himself. We are absolutely fricked if we hire this old arse that just went 6-6. This is the worst hire we could possibly make, BLJ is the second worst possible hire.

Mack Brown at UNC isn't too awfully bad....

Butch Davis at Arkansas with a great staff would do well to build a foundation that has most definitely been toast.

I don't get the Drink fringe. He has done well one season at a much lesser university. He may become awesome. But if we aren't going for Leach, Kiffin, Harsin, etc... why not?

But, it definitely looks desperate to do so this late in the cycle. BD has been available for a while now.

Mack Brown has been relevant in the past decade, no kids today know who Butch Davis is.

We just went thru two young hip coaches who would break dance in the locker room after barely beating fcs teams.

So maybe a veteran of program building to come and tell some kids to pack there shite and leave if they aren't going to do it his way is what is needed.

Maybe adding dubs is more important than club dub.

1-23

That’s The record in league play over the last 24 SEC games Arkansas has played in.

The current state of the program is “absolutely fricked”

We just fired the worst hire ever.

You’re going to honestly say that a coach who is 102-58 on the field in college football is the worst hire Arkansas could make? A coach who has built back up numerous programs and brought them back to respectability?

Do you even understand what Arkansas needs? Arkansas needs a sure thing. A sure thing to at least get back to 6 wins a season. The problem with some of you is that you think Petrino just left and we have won 21 games over the last two years.

Butch Davis almost assuredly gets the foundation built back for the next coach in 4 years. Right now, Arkansas football isn’t very attractive for anyone worth their salt in the coaching profession.

It’s unfortunate the state of the program, but it’s the reality.

I am not sold on Butch Davis (though I'm not dead set against him), but the fact is we are, as of right now, the worst P5 job out there for an upcoming head coach.

Am I saying that we are the worst program out there and have the worst fans? No. But for a young hot shot devoting yourself to 4 years of trying to rebuild a program while getting to play LSU, Alabama, and Auburn every year isn't what they are after.

Since it doesn't look like anyone can chisel Clark out of Alabama I'd go with Willie Fritz at Tulane. He's been a head coach since the dawn of time but he's younger than Butch Davis. He's had successful rebuilds at a number of stops and he's coached extensively in the Southwest and South. Yeah, his record at Tulane isn't anything to write home about but it is Tulane. Once a decade they have a really good season but the rest of the time they stink on ice.

Regardless, we probably aren't going to get the next big thing to commit to being our head coach. We need someone with a steady hand at the tiller.
