Say what you want about Bert but he's pretty savvy on hiring coaches. Seagrest and Odom fill in our needs pretty well.
I'd bet Randy Shannon gets a little boost in pay and leaving him at LB coach takes some responsibilities off of him freeing him up to be on the recruiting trail more and to turn down more DC jobs.

He's gonna get the Asst HC title that Partridge had.. he'll probably get around what Pittman is making when he gets a raise.

For whatever reason I feel really good about this. Hopefully, my gut is right. I think what our program needs more than anything after the past few years is as much stability as possible.

The 247 guy from Memphis is saying from his end it doesn't seem likely and Otis is back pedaling a little. Hasn't came right out and said it won't be him but isn't sounding as confident as he did this morning.

Anyone notice Odom's numbers against the pass?

where there is smoke, there is fire... or maybe somebody is out there smoking a hooter..

Agree. Looks like large improvement across the board at Memphis with Odom.

If it's Odom I'm ready for a fricking announcement

Damn Bert is a cocky motherfricker for a fat guy. That's the attitude it takes to land hot poon butYbe not the one for landing 5 star LBrs.
Props to Nasty Nate for running that quote tho.

I know 80% of this is coach speak. However, it goes to show that we as casual observers have no idea what goes on during the hiring process.
In the article, from Bielema:
There's a lot more in an interview and resume than we are privy to. I read on the internet a lot of people saying "We should hire XXX!!! Anyone less and I'll consider this a failure!" But we have no idea 1) if XXX is even available. 2) If XXX would consider Arkansas a place to coach. And 3) If the current coaching staff even wants XXX.
I know we all believe Arkansas is the greatest destination in all of college and pro sports. But I'm getting tired of people saying things that amount to "We should hire the Seattle Seahawks DC. We've got the money and facilities, Bert is nothing but a failure if he doesn't at least reach out to that guy…"

I realize I went with a guy (Segrest) that maybe a lot of people didn’t have on the radar, but he went beyond so many guys that a lot of other people were talking about with his interview and resume and what he brings to the table. But it’s great to know the level of interest that it drew and this one is doing the exact same thing.

The candidates on HV right now are Mike Singletary, Pat Narduzzi, Herm Edwards and Manny Diaz.

Nrdzzi pls
Posted on 1/20/14 at 11:06 am to CtotheVrzrbck
I'd give my left nut for Narduzzi. If I do that though I'll probably end up with no left nut and Robb Smith as DC.

Which quote are you referring too? There were a couple in there that stood out to me.

It's fun to talk about/dream about. However, there are way too many people who have never left this state that honestly think those people are going to come. And when they don't for the most obvious of reasons, these people will burn the program down a little bit more in their mind.
We honestly should be excited for someone like Odom and look forward to what they can bring. Dude looks solid on paper, so why not?
