Yeah. I always take pre season reports with a grain of salt. Everything good that happens mean something bad happens too.

I just don’t understand how the best OL coach in the conference can have terrible OLines. That’s literally his bread and butter. He has shown in the past to be able to put together very good offensive lines, so we know he can do it. Why can’t he do it now? Drives me insane

I was never that impressed with his :biggest line in football” during the Bielema era. Still had trouble getting short yards and got bullied by Rutgers one year

He relied before on recruiting guys like Denver Kirkland from Florida and Sebastian Tretola from California, Frank Ragnow from Minnesota. It’s just hard to keep recruiting talented players like that from so far away I guess

He’s much better than Chad ever was but Deshaun Watson basically made his career and people probably unfairly expected him to keep finding guys like that too.

He could do it, the guy he hired to do it has not.

This is the one time you want the HC to be meddling and he is not.

Because he’s lazy and is getting millions for bad results, and he knows if he’s bad enough he’ll get a huge payday. There’s no reason for him to work at improving anything.

Agreed one hundred percent. Pittman knows regardless he’s got a big payday and retirement looming regardless of what happens

Man I just don’t know about that. Pittman doesn’t strike me as the kind to just turn over and take a beating. His first few seasons here were all about bringing pride back to Arkansas football. I think he is highly competitive and taking these losses as bad as we do. He needs to light a fire under some folks though, most definitely

As soon as we got rid of Odom, Travis Williams put in work in a very short time.

Sounds to me like Kennedy likes sleeping in his own bed and doesn’t like the road. You’re telling me, he couldn’t go to STL, KC, Mississippi, Louisiana, Memphis or Texas and get some of the abundance they have?

That’s just connecting states.

I like Williams...

And I do believe our D has strengthened quite a bit this season from years past.

Held TAMU to what on offensive prodution? and that goal line stand at the end when they were challenged to show at least a little pride...

If the whole team had that, we would have won against BYU, and LSU... for sure.

LOL

He is absolutely 'Aw Shucks' while he schedules his next meeting to redesign the landscape at the lakehouse.
