While funny, that’s got to be a photoshop. It looks like Yurachek hasn’t “liked” a tweet in three weeks.

some say it was legit. Maybe he unliked it after realizing what he had done.

We’re in this situation because we did what Arkansas always does — hire the wrong coach.
Hatfield over Johnson
Nutt over Tuberville
JLS over literally anyone else (Horton)
Bert over Gus
Morris over Norvell
I’m hopeful that we’ve learn from those mistakes, but nothing in our history tells me we have or will.

Kiffen.
He’s already done his job hopping. He’s the youngest, most legit and best pedigree out there.
He has a shite ton to prove as well.

If Monken changed systems, then he could maybe get big consideration at lots of big national jobs, but them that's taking away his expertise.
I sometimes wonder what a power running/play action team would do if they were as devoted to going for it on 4th down as Army. They are perfectly happy to dial up a fullback dive on 3rd and 5 because they know they'll probably pick up a 4th and 2.

People saying Johnson had mixed success at g tech yes he did have some down years but he also took them to 3 orange bowls. I think people forget just how good Georgia tech was some years

Exactly, Bert needed to go anyway. Morris being a worse coach than Bert doesn't validate keeping him longer than we did.

The triple option is pretty fun to watch, especially when it's working. I'm a little biased because my high school team ran a variation of it.
When it's off, it can turn into 3 yards and a cloud of dust and be ugly as sin. When it's on, you can beat arse and make teams quit, like when Georgia Tech beat the shite out of Louisville last year and ran for something like 550 yards on them.

Absolutely not.
Might as well hire Houston Nutt.
We need a power spread guy with energy and recruiting swagger.
This is why it's Kiffin.

Kiffin brings his own bag of issues but I have supported Leach and Kiffin because at least it would be a fun ride.

Are these two things not exactly what we get with Mr. Red Bull? Kiffin regressed from 11-2 to 5-7 last year, guess we'll see how he does this year. I really don't give a shite if a coach has energy or not if he can coach on gameday.

I'm not saying hire a TO guy, just calling out particulars of the offense if we brought in Monken, which we won't.
Kiffin would be a disaster.
We need someone who will bring toughness and discipline back to this program, whoever that may be. Kiffin lost his locker room at Tennessee in one season and USC by year 3.
Also, FAU took a nose dive last year and doesn't look good this year, either.

I'd take Leach too.

I can't believe no one else mentioned Bill Clark in four pages. He's exactly what we need - an up and coming program builder. His first year at UAB got them bowl eligible at six wins. It was the first time they'd won six games since 2004. That's a whole decade of sub .500.
Then they shut down the football program for three years. He sticks around and agrees to come back, immediately winning 8 games the first year back. Then he wins 11. And now he's sitting at 3–0. And this was all after he spent one season coaching at his FCS alma mater and won 11 games and got them to the playoff in his single season coaching.
This guy is the new Bill Snyder. How is that not perfect for a team in our stupid situation?
Also, one of Chad Morris' claim to fame is being a HS football legend. Bill Clark's HS record is apparently 106–11.
The only downside I can find is the lack of recruiting ties to the state of Texas.

As an outsider looking in you can do better than Kiffin for a HC. Guy is a good OC but take away a couple years and he is a .500 coach. Kiffin or Freshwater or whoever he is today is a pretty much a product of his on promotion and his dad. His dad was a below .500 coach.
He is a good offensive mind but you can get a better head coach

He's been mentioned in a few different discussions. He absolutely needs to be on our short list. Here's something I posted on another board that I'm too lazy to rehash.

Clark absolutely needs to be on our short list, if not at the top.
The guy is the epitome of a program builder, from the south and thus "gets" the culture and dynamics of the SEC, and quite literally brought UAB back from the dead to be an elite G5 team. It'd also potentially get us into Alabama from a recruiting standpoint, which is some of the most fertile ground for football talent in the country, specifically on the lines. I'll take a 3 star from Alabama (Flowers or Philon anyone) over a 4 star from Texas.
Plus, it gives us infinite opportunities for "real nice, Clark" and "you serious, Clark?" memes.

He would never come here. He was insulted when he was not offered.

No. Morris and his staff are 100% correct on the Texas aspect of recruiting. Too many hands in that Alabama recruiting jar. Doesn't make sense from a location standpoint.
