That could get at least one fricking SEC win a season. Enough of this shite.

I don't even care anymore. College football has grown stale for me. I wouldn't even be entertained by 6-6 and a toilet bowl game anymore.

Same handful of teams in the CFP's every year, likely to never be Arkansas so what is the point?

Never watched so little college football in my life this year and I'm just fine with that.

Can someone please tell me this obsession with Rick Jones so many in the state have?

First off, a major D-1 program is not directly hiring a coach from High school, and second what makes this guy so great?

I assume he wins and wins a lot, but what does he do that's so high level?

He dominates bigger schools that have bigger, better athletes than his own team, mainly by out-preparing other teams.

Greenwood is technically 6A by population but has to play mainly 7A schools. They are also 99% white.

His coaching philosophy is "we're going to practice perfectly until we can't do it wrong". Stark contrast to the undisciplined play I've seen out of the Razorbacks lately.

That said it will never happen for a multitude of reasons. He's close to retirement, has never recruited, has zero college coaching experience, etc.

Exactly how far of a stretch is this scenario from Chad Morris?

Many highschool coaches have contacted Jones on how to run a program, chaggy not so much.

He has also outproduced the little Rock schools in sending players to the hill.

Sign me up. We could run the wishbone for all I care as long as this team gets some damn discipline regarding execution. The amount of dropped passes in space is fricking unreal.

I thought for sure this was a lead-in for Kevin Kelly.
