If nothing else, Arkansas sure does get a lot of exposure in the draft...

... It just happens to be in everyone else's nfl draft highlights.
Hell, even punters get the Hogs in a highlight. A&M's guy drilled it to the 1 yd line, recivers and RB's dashing for 70 yd gains, and corners locking down and smothering a WR, only to pick off the play.
Hey, I guess all publicity is good, publicity. Isn't that what Jerry's motto is?

Thank Chad and Chief for the video game like numbers that people put on us the last couple years. It’s been a long time since Arkansas was decent at football.

It’s sad when I thought it was somewhat cool that we made it on ESPN when Kristian Fulton was drafted and it said “picked LSU over Florida and Arkansas”
Just shows how massive our talent level gap is to teams like LSU and Alabama right now when we have 2 players picked compared to like 14 for them.

This is what has been so apparent over the last few days to me. Even programs that have really high recruiting rankings like A&M, Auburn, Tennessee, and Florida are not putting the kinds of players in the NFL like LSU and Bama, and Georgia well behind those 2.
Basically the entire starting 22 of both Bama and LSU are getting drafted now. How the hell do we even compete?
The answer is obvious that the days of these idiot coaches like Bert who don't belive in recruiting and morons like Chad running a program simply can't be tolerated.
I also think that we made the absolute best choice possible with Pittman. He knows exactly what we're up against.
Having 2 guys drafted every year in rd 3 and 7 ain't going to cut it. We've basically got to start getting nfl bodies and coach the hell out of them and start putting numerous guys in the league every year or else it's the basement for the foreseeable future.

I'm honestly shocked that we had 2 drafted. I knew Sosa would get a chance simply based on his raw talent. The NFL can look past shite coaching and see that he has potential.
Then you consider the fact that Ole Miss had none drafted. Was there not any leftovers from the Freezus era?
Someone on social media made not that jonesboro tech hasn't had a player drafted in over 6 years. I think some of the D2 schools in Arkansas have had players drafted in that time span.
I guess it shows that despite being horrible that we still recruit an occasional player that can get to the league.
Hopefully Pittman is a good enough coach to maximize our team's potential. Then you add the hope that he can recruit somewhere near the rate he was at Georgia - not top 10 but somewhere around top 15 with some monsters on the offensive line - and we will be light years better than we were under Aggie Bert.

I fear it will be at least two years before we are competitive again in the SEC. We are going to have turn over most of the roster. I think we will win games, but its going to be a while before we are back to middle of the pack.

1. We will have one of the toughest schedules in history. Notre Dame game might be a SoCal vs. Nutt type of debacle.
2. The virus mess will no doubt hamper progress.
3. Having to follow up two assholes has to be maddening. Pittman seems like a good dude but I bet he let out a storm of profanity and probably broke a whiteboard or two when he saw the shape our offensive line. You go from having a bunch of guys who spent some time in the NFL (Skipper, Kirkland, Froholdt, Ragnow, Tretola etc.) to a bunch of fat tight ends who are on the verge of medical retirement. I mean - do we even have a center who can snap the ball?
With all that being said - the bar is extremly low for Pittman.
Here is what the baseline should be:
1. WIN THE GAMES YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO WIN! We are and will forever be more talented than San Jose State. We are good enough not to get blown out by North Texas. BY GOD we should be more than competent to compete with Western Kentucky - especially when they are being led by a quarterback that Morris said wasn't good enough to start here.
2. Clean up the pre-snap/procedural bullshite. There is no reason to have two players with the same number on the field. There is no reason for a wide receiver not to understand if he should be on line or not. BY YEAR 2 - you should not be calling timeouts in the first quarter on first down to line players up and get the correct play called.
3. Win ONE SEC game. I think the standard has been already set that if a coach goes 0-fer in the SEC his first season that he will not do well in the long run. Find a way to beat Ole Miss or Missouri. Both of those teams are equal to our talent and are going through a coaching transition through this virus mess as well. Find a way to win.
So with that being said - if we finish with 4 wins and look competent going down the stretch most fans will be patient. Follow it up with a top 25 recruiting class and hit the transfer portal if need be so that we make a bowl in year 2.

Arkansas kids are seemingly very unathletic. Why? The high schools have got to start putting together better S&C programs. They should also teach the girls to only allow superior semen into their bodies. I think vagina defense technology is a growing industry. But when those fail and she ends up stuck with a tigerdroppings-level athlete, dad needs to step the frick up. Sure - you have no athleticism that can compete with the eventual fathers of Alabama recruits, but you can beat your kid into a mean, lean, cheating machine. Old enough to crawl? Old enough to pull a sled. Old enough to feed? Old enough for protein powder and BCAAs, ya little shite. Think your lack of a penis is any excuse not to play football? Stick to gender roles you're allowed to participate in, son. Here's your testosterone. You better teach xim how not to get caught tripping those superior athletes. Teach them how to hold while maintaining a reasonable assumption of innocence. Teach them to read lips. Teach them to scan an opponent's brain telepathically and then communicate silently to your non-telepathic retard teammates.
These are just a few of the reasonable steps Arkansas parents can take to alleviate the pressure on Houston Dale Nutt and the otherwise championship-level coaches needlessly hindered by naturally-delta level genetics.

We have a shite ton of good to elite basketball players in the state.
We also produce a healthy amount of baseball players.

A pretty depressing twitter thread to show the incompetence of our past two coaches plus the shitstorm that Pittman is walking into:

If he can get us to a shitty bowl in year 2 everyone will love him.
