Playing bama tough & almost winning isn’t good enough

Fire everyone and hire someone better than Saban
Pittman got lucky to lose by 3, his coaching had nothing to do with it. We haven’t improved at all since BYU.

His coaching had everything to do with it. If he hadn’t come out in the first half managing the game like he was scared to lose to a team who has beaten us 16 times in a row, we might have actually won.

Dude, I get it and mostly agree... But, this isn't the usual bama... We are the usual Arkansas...
If I were deciding, I would have Sam to be bowl eligible to keep his job. We have Miss State, Bye, Florida, Auburn, FIU, and Mizzou...
I see 4 wins there.... But I am a glass half full type of fella!

That's my take. We can't play great for 2 quarters and expect to win. Did you see Saben bitching a someone on his head set because of a flag while in victory formation? That's the type of coach who wins consistently.

No chance.
In no universe would a coach that our fans want fired beat Saban, right? Firing a coach that can beat Saban is crazy. Our fans aren’t crazy.

But credit to the players though. I thought the second half was going to get ugly. They, especially those on defense, played their asses off despite the failures of HC/OC and were the reason we even had a chance to win

Habitually losing close games is a coaching issue, not a talent issue. Always has been the case in football.
This is on Pittman. His utter inability to win close games, especially in year 4, is why he needs to go.

Agreed, credit for us even battling back solely goes to the defense (+TWill) and the players.
Enos and Pittman don’t deserve shite. Most of our points came by way of havoc plays and dumb penalties by Bama.

No one would be mad if we had beaten BYU and one of LSU/Ole Miss. But we didn't.

Jesus, Hawgfan.
I bet you've kicked your dog too.

Yeah TWill has done a hell of a job this year, especially considering how banged up that unit is.

I can see us winning out and some dumbass extending Sam, just like Tennessee did with Pruitt.

Arkansas was ranked 111th in total offense before coming into this game.
That is a coaching issue that lost them yet again another game.
Four games this year decided by seven points or less.

CEO type HC can't miss on a coordinator hire like he did with Enos.
Also would help if the CEO HC understood how to manage the game. (time/clock/timeouts/penalty discipline)
2 penalties and 0 turnovers along with Fletcher's 7 punts for 377 yards (53.9 avg) and 4 inside the 20 kept the game close.
Hats off the TWill working with what he has to overcome injuries.

We’re 2-5 but if you count morale victories we’re probably 5-2 right?

He and Marcus Woodson are our best coaches on staff easily
