I don’t know what you’re trying say that I’m not.

The coaching staff sucks, the roster that staff built sucks and the “scheme” they’ve implemented with a shitty roster sucks.

Im not even going to look it up but I guarantee just about every other team turned over pretty close to what we did and all look relatively competent. Okie State, Auburn, Kentucky, Florida, etc etc.

Well Okie State already lost to 1 win Tulsa for their road game, much worse than a top 20 possible playoff team in Utah but beyond them I mean I guess? Kentucky has the same NIL as we do and they lost 32-0 to Bama in the second half at home which is worse than we did in any half to Utah on the road. So maybe not them either. UF and Auburn maybe? I believe they play each other next.

Okie State just beat #6 at home, with the number 1 draft pick and playoff semi finalist. Why do you keep failing to mention that?

If a first game loss, which in theory has all the same excuses you just mentioned for our coach, isn’t offset by a massive top 10 win, agree to disagree.

Kentucky was beating Bama for 3.5 quarters. AKA, they showed up, had a game plan, competed their asses off and wound up losing to a far superior team. We were down 43-3 for almost the entirety of the game and could do absolutely nothing of semblance on either side of the ball.

How do you not see a difference?

I heard all week the biggest difference can be seen from week 1 to week 2.

Positive gains were seen for all the new hires around the country, coaches who had serious interest in Arkansas. Arkansas went the opposite direction, they got worse in all phases.

No, just the same. Just the "win is a win" crowd couldn't see it.

All that changed was we played someone other than an FCS bottom feeder.

Not really. They were awful in basically every area against that FCS mid-tier team.

Montana State would’ve beat us by two scores.

They lost to SE Louisiana last night, who has already lost to Houston Christian and South Alabama.

Whoever those teams are..

Mid-tier is generous. UNA was DII less that 10 years ago. They're 13-51 since 2020

If it's a money issue, once again, you have to hire a coach that will get the fans motivated again.

Until we do that, things will never change.

It's pretty cut and dry.

Most obvious thing in the world, and they went out and got the one guy nobody wanted.

Why they can't get this through their thick skulls I'll never understand.

Don't sit here and tell me the fans need to give the university more money when you hire losers. We aren't stupid.

It's like going to an investor, and that investor says the odds of this stock being successful are extremely low, but if you give me your money it's going to make it succeed.

IDIOTIC

Yet they continue to give to save their season tickets.

Hoping and praying one day we'll catch lightning in a bottle like Bobby

Everyone associated with the program, administration, coaches, players are profiting off the program.

The only true losers in this arrangement are the fans.

Keep donating, buying tickets, attending games and buying concessions. They are counting on you to keep the gravy train rolling.

They’re just running the program the way administrators run the educational piece.

Purely for profit these days with a bunch of admin hacks in high paying positions. White, Long and Gearhart started the grift and it’s just gotten infinitely worse.

Long as least debatably understood you needed to be competitive and make big hires.

This is the issue.

Fans want more but keep on doing the same stupid shite.

I came to that realization after the 2018 season.

I suppose there's a point that fans get there.

Arkansas went from an AD that would walk the Broyles athletic complex yelling I'm gonna fire somebody to the an AD that gave a game ball to Silverfield in his first game.

That isn't what the stats showed.


Look, I was one of the ones willing to give them the whole first game mistakes, 80 new players, QB first game as THE man, new coach, new system excuse after the NA game. But after the complete and utter curbstomping they received last ight, while showing virtually no improvement, they deserve no more good will.

If we're honest that total yards statline of 415 is not that good against the likes of NA. Probably should've been 600+ and that should've included bringing in the third string for at least the last quarter. And NA won the dang turnover battle! They just suck, simple as that, and are not well coached. I really wanted to give them a chance but my goodwill supply was very low and is now depleted.

Should've kept Bobby! To hell with all of the pearl clutchers who were adamantly against him, not because of his coaching, but because he was a flawed man. I hope they are all happy now, which I have a feeling they are because many of them are the same ones that only come on here when there's something to piss and moan about.
