Loser mentality
Been a hog fan for a mighty long time... Look at our history and tell me that we aren't just that in the SEC... Losers...
We have lost more than we have won, and by definition... Well?
Our Recruiting area is crap, our history in this conference is crap, our schedule is ruthless, add to that Tx and OU and ... well?
Why would a well known, successful coach want to risk their resume with such man? Why would a decent up and comer not wait out a program with a better recruiting footprint, better history, better media attention. Just look up the media concerning Arkansas football in the past 20 years overall. One caught lightening in a bottle on time with Petrino and it was amazing how that transpired. He was in desperate need of getting out of where he was. Period!
I view our Football program as fan who has purchased season tix for 20 plus years and definitely knows it's history. Our bads definitely out number our goods in this exercise of futility.
Pittman isn't as bad as some are promoting... He isn't as good as others promote. He is a mediocre coach who is well liked personally. Between Bert, Smile, and Chad... where does he rank, because these are our last three to consider overall.
I want a change at HC, I am there. But I would ask for folks to put their fandom down for a brief minute and be real about our possibilities/
Scott Frost anybody?
Trailer?
Kansas Coaches?
BLJ? Good Lord No! He pouted and made a power move that lost last time.
Who? At least the coaching search threads are fun, we ought to know, we have had plenty the last few years

sec record currently... 100/152
quick count... may be barely off, but the point is made.
We have never truly been considered competitive in the SEC overall. Sure, a year or two here and there... but...

There in lies the rub as they used to say.
Who is this gallant white knight of a coach that will come galloping in to save Arkansas football? We had several coaches, recently, with extensive ties to the area... and all of them except Pittman landed slam dunk jobs instead of coming here.
Any head coach would kill to come here! No, most of the really good ones won't because they have safer landing spots being offered to them.
Let's not shite ourselves here. We are going to have to roll the dice on a G5 coach (barring something weird happens) and hope we didn't just hire Billy Ball 2.0 so we can enjoy what Florida is going through.
Basketball? Yes, you crawl over broken glass to get the Arkansas job. Track? Hell yes. Tertiary sports? God almighty yes, lots of support and a ton of patience. Football?
Well, you better love the program with all your heart, be desperate for an escape of your current job, or be flying so far under the radar we're the only ones who've picked you up.
We can land a good football coach. But don't act like it is set in stone because it is not.

I am not happy with how we looked against aTm. BUT, they have better players. Fact.
I was happy how competitive we were against LSU. And THEY have better players. Fact.
The only loss (so far) that I am completely PO'd about is BYU. Not only COULD we have won that game, we SHOULD have.
The other two, they were just better than us. Most often will be.
