re: member when Arkansas win ceiling wasn't 8 games

He will have a huge problem because what he can do with his legs most cant. But if you haven't figured it out by now that Bobby p fan develop a high powered passing attack then idk what to tell you. Yes talent has a lot to do with it and Lamar would be good no matter where he's at but as we saw with the transformation from chaney to Enos with ba and Bobby p to John l with the Wilson coaching is a big part of it as well.

Let me simplify this for you. He would always have a decent offense idgaf what the rankings say. And we saw how his players turned out in '14 on defense. We would've won a lot of games that year with him as the coach. I don't give a damn what the recruiting rankings are

Where did I say the offense was the problem last year? I said he would have down years where we dip to 7-8 wins but that the hears that we did have a good defense (like 14) we would make a big run. And that's all I want. Every 3 or 4 years to win 9 or 10 games in the regular season. I don't think that's asking too much.

Well lets examine what it will take to get to 10 wins in the current SEC West.

OOC has to be scheduled as 4 wins. 3 wins and one toss up at worst. Scheduling top 10 teams is not needed, Arkansas will play more than enough in conference during the season to pump up the SOS.

2017
Florida A&M - Win

TCU - borderline team referenced above as not needed to be scheduled, ever, but they weren't what they are now when they were scheduled. Home game so should be a win.

Bye - again shitty scheduling, the bye has to be mid-October every year for Arkansas, to early and the depth issues show late, to late and depth issues show early.

Aggy - has been a winnable game sans the JFF year, for the sake of this argument it must be win.

NMSU - historically a shitty program and team, kinda defacto bye week. Win

SCAR - feels like forever since we played them, still too soon. Muschamp got progressively worse the longer he was at Florida, no sense in that trend reversing itself now. Win

BAMA followed by Auburn.

Thanks SEC, Bama softens us up and Auburn comes in for Gus's Superbowl the following week. Likely 0-2, but Auburn faces LSU and has a bye to look forward to the following week.

So at the half way point 5-1, then 5-2.

OM - for whatever reason the staff hasn't struggled against their offense or defense, the talent is only declining and the NCAA has set up shop in town. Win

CCU - Win, another defacto bye. Only saving grace with the early by is the easy games are spread out during the season.

So 7-2 going into November

LSU, again will be coming off a loss to Bama, too hard to say what their situation will be a year from now, so based on talent a loss.

Ms. State, similar situation, they could improve or they could be much of the same based on Mullen pre-dak and not having a Dak at QB currently, home game so Win.

Mizzou, I'm just not seeing them being vastly improved next year and again at home so Win.

Finish 9-3.

So yes it is possible for Bert to hit 10 wins.

He has to win all the OOC games for 4 wins, win a favorable, in comparison to years past, SEC schedule. Beat the Mississippi teams then steal two of the group of pre-yearly melt down aggy, Auburn, Bama, and LSU.

That formula isn't going to change much going forward. What will happen is the competitiveness is going to cost a few teams in the west to shoot themselves in the foot with coaching changes. LSU may have done it, we will have to see who they hire. Aggy and Auburn still could load up the chamber and take a shot this year. The NCAA may pull the trigger for OM. Mullen could realize its a dead end job and jump ship.

The point is with the level of play in the SEC and the schedule the SEC has given over the past decade, we would be having this conversation no matter who the HC was at this time.

I member when you didnt post here. That was pretty neat.
