We don't have a desirable Job. We have a weak recruiting footprint, routinely the toughest schedule in the nation, and a passionate fanbase that expects to win.
The notion that someone would come here because they want a challenge is delusional. None of us would take a harder job over an easy job with all other things being equal.
That means we have to overpay to get someone decent. HY's MO is the opposite of that. That leaves unproven up and comers and guys with baggage. We could certainly end up with worse that Pittman but I think everyone is ready to roll the dice.

And that will get your AD fired.
Everyone acts like they aren’t getting paid to do a job, they aren’t a small town pastor doing it out the kindness of their hearts. They are all making millions a year to delivery a product worthy of our money.

This is fricking hilarious and sad at the same time.
Either naivety or an amazing lack of self-image continues to let this notion proliferate.
What do you think the average D-1 coaching salary is, then where do you think Arkansas compares to that?
What if any benefits are there to being an SEC head coach beyond the considerable salary that might not be available at non-SEC programs?
C'mon people. This is the mindset a psychologist has a field day with.
