But what has he accomplished as a head coach that that makes you think he’ll be successful at Arkansas? In the SEC?
I never said I did think this. But you said you think he is in WAY over his head so I was curious what that was based off of.
I'm not arguing one way or the other, however I am cautiously optimistic and not particularly concerned with his time at Memphis. I'm not taking the time to look up any comparisons but I'm sure people at LSU had their reservations about Saban when he got hired from Michigan State. He showed flashes of being a good coach there but it's not like he was lighting up the world.
I like what I've seen and heard from Silverfield and, more than that, the players he and his staff have been coaching for the last 9+ months. I understand people's hesitation though, but i think more of it has to do with what we've been through over the last 15 or so years and the fact that everyone wanted the big-name hire and didn't get it. Will he work out, nobody knows.

Winning 9 games at Arkansas isn't some grand achievement.
The monkey with a whistle did it more than a few times and Pittman was a two point conversion away from winning 10.
None of them are any good and I would say Silverfield is better than both.

Morris left our program arguably the closest to rock bottom we’ve ever been. Should that be the standard for Silverfield?
That’s a great point. Pittman won 3 SEC games in his first year (I think). Should’ve beat Auburn too but the refs screwed us.
And people are adamant that Pittman is/was a bad coach.
If that’s the case, Silverboy should win at least 3 SEC games this season, or he would essentially be worse than Pittman, right?
