I’d argue that he was our “coolest” looking coach in recent memory. Dude knows how to dress.
Post is a little suspect.
Also, you think taping your fingers to call plays on the sideline is cool?

Man what is your deal with this? How old are you? Get off my lawn.
He's probably been doing it forever and that's his routine. He may be superstitious like some coaches are.
They same people used to bitch about Gus's sweater vest.

If we grounded and pounded more this year we would have been 9-3 and smoked Kansas in the bowl.

Enos always seemed like he could script a good couple series to start games, besides red zone playcalling this was a consistent flaw of Briles, he couldn’t script worth a shite. Seemed the first drive or two was always 3 and out.
As someone who was outspoken in my criticism of Briles the last two years, this was my biggest beef with him.
We never had a script for our first few series, and he often used the first few drives to feel out an opposing defense. Hence why we were so inept at scoring on our first two drives.
This article after the Mizzou game sums up what I’d been saying all season about our ineptitude on our first two drives.

Opening Drive Failures
The Razorbacks entered the week ranked in the top 20 nationally in total offense, but they’ve taken a little bit to get going all season.
In fact, by starting Friday afternoon’s game with a three-and-out, Arkansas ended the regular season with only one opening drive resulting in points. That is a significant step back from last season, when it had seven scoring drives to open a game (three touchdowns and four field goals).
Making that stat even worse is that half of the Razorbacks’ 12 games have started with a three-and-out, including the last five games.
That is well short of their goal of at least two first downs on the opening drive, which right tackle Dalton Wagner acknowledged is kind of a feeling out period and generally tougher than the ensuing possessions.
Should be noted that that doesn’t include the Liberty Bowl where we kicked a field goal on our opening drive but went 3 and out on our second drive.

I think the "ground and pound" ideology on Enos is misplaced due to our perception of Bert. Enos wanted to sling it way more than Bert did. He put up big numbers with the Allen brothers at QB and not exactly a ton of WR talent. Imagine what he may be able to do with a true dual threat QB and some dudes at WR. Plus he's got a stable full of thoroughbreds at RB.... this is gonna be fun.

I’m no Briles fan, but the taped fingers are so KJ and the offense can see them since he motions in plays with hand signals.
It’s similar to catchers in baseball taping their fingers or painting their nails.

This is a recipe for disaster...particularly when your defense is as bad as ours has been. You're playing from behind damn near every game.

Briers
For the record, when Briers' name is misspelled, I prefer this version this best.
To contribute to this thread, albeit minimally, I don't see how anyone can dog this hire. I damn sure don't see Enos doing any worse, and can only surmise that we will improve in the red zone.

I'm not dogging it. This was just my initial thoughts. I hope he is very successful.
I'm just used to Arkansas having a ton of missed opportunities and always falling back to old habits instead of being innovative.

Did people really think he did this for fun? lol. Same reason you'll see random coaches wearing highlighter yellow shirts on the sideline so players can see them if needed.
