I think the starting rate for a D1 QB in the power 5 is 500k this season.. at least thats what the radio guys are saying.

Does Green get the blame or does Petrino
One guy is dialing up open routes and the other guy is watching them go by. You tell me.

I should note that I don't think Green is a completely lost cause. I think we all see what Petrino sees. Lamar Jackson wasn't anything special in year 1 under Petrino either. He didn't even throw for 2000 yards and had a 12-8 TD-INT ratio. Then he threw for 3500 yards and 25+ TDs in back to back years.

I think if we really want Green to be the guy, we have to just bite the bullet and deal with the fact that this is going to be a multi-year project. The issue is that line of thinking is in conflict with the people who just want to blow it all up.

Pittman doesn't need a muti-year project at QB that failed at Boise State. He needed a QB that was better developed at a previous school that is a more accurate with his throws, will not get so easily flushed out of the pocket and not stare down just one WR all game. Teslaa was open all day last Saturday.

I'm suggesting there's not much to blow up. Are we any better off than we've been? Pittman is definitely more capable than Chad but his record doesn't reflect that consistently....

I seriously doubt you're getting a developed QB ready to hit the ground running in a new system out of the portal for 750k. You may not even get that for a couple million.

Either we start paying significantly more NIL or we get used to developmental projects, IMO.

I guess we disagree. I think there's a lot of potential here. Our defense is already a million times better than it used to be. I'd rather we let Petrino stay longer than 5 minutes to try and get things going before calling it quits.

I get that's a weird approach for a coach technically on year 5, but I think we all know Pittman isn't the one stirring this drink. I care very little about Pittman at this point. He doesn't have a "system". His "system" is his coordinators, and as far as that goes we're in year 1 offensively.

When a program like Arkansas gets too many players from the portal every year then it's going to blow up each year.

Pittman can't even assemble a damn OL, much less find a legit QB.

The QB wasn't his choice, nor was he in charge of how much he could spend for one.

I will say there's really no excuse for the O-line recruiting or lack thereof. That's the one major blackspot.

This basically is year one, with the offense, as you said. Petrino’s first year here last time was a 5 win season before he got the players to run his offense successfully.

For me to keep this experiment alive is to see progress this year without the quit we saw last year and interest from recruits. No need to start all over with another project if Petrino is coming back. I don’t see him moved to head coach, he’s basically that without the title now and people aren’t happy.

In 5 years Sam has been bowl eligible 4 times and is 2-0 in bowl games. The covid year tcu back out. He’s had 1 bad year but that road schedule was brutal for anyone. He took steps and fired Enos mid season so he showed he wasn’t going to settle for bad results. Oh well, this season isn’t over yet so we’ll see what happens. I’m not giving up yet…

No one would be talking about beck if he wasn’t at Georgia. And we don’t have Georgia talent at oline, who could imagine that?

Pittman is the HC, not Petrino. There would be a big difference in how the program would be run if Petrino was the HC.
