Serious question... Sam seems like a decent person, don't really follow news of Arkansas aside from when Alabama is about to play them.

But is his ceiling as O line coach? He started with team improvements compared to the previous couple of years prior to arrival, but seems to have hit the proverbial brick wall.

He improved us from the ChadMorris shite show, but that’s not hard to do. He’s too nice and doesn’t have that killer instinct plus the Enos hire isn’t working out well with current personnel.

New defense staff hires seem to be solid, though.

Yes, that’s his ceiling or he at least doesn’t need to be head coach. He does seem like a nice man which is why I hope he decides to ride off into the sunset at the end of the season before things get even uglier.

The worst or most wtf thing is that our Oline is the worst part of our team, there will prob be 10 false starts at Bama no exaggeration.

Sam hasn't and as of now, lost the team unlike Chad did before he coached his first game.

So getting the team to play hard is his biggest accomplishment.

However he reached his limit as having no OC/DC experience is showing up in his game management which put nicely is pretty bad.

Because of this he leans on his coordinators on advice as he has been learning on the job.

Arkansas already lost three games this year by seven points or less.

Not necessarily, but it doesn't look like he's a SEC HC. If he was at Arkansas State, they would be better than the shitshow Butch Jones has going.

Sam needs to replace a lot of the offensive coaches. Especially the OL coach. There's no excuse for the offense to be this bad in year 4.
