The guy ran against establishment Rino Republicans and calls out the Uof A for what it is.

My man crush grows.

It'll be interesting to see how Yuracuck sells tickets next season with Sam and Bobby coming back.

Last years gimmick was BMFP, nothing more or less. We see how that worked out with Bob throwing money at a MWC failure.

You get 750k nowadays and you play, no matter if you're a fricking turnover machine.

The wait list for suites in the stadium isn't going away.

The same rich folk/companies will continue to pour it in regardless of outcome

MOSE = Make Our Stadium Empty. I’m not being sarcastic. Jake is actually 100% right and there’s only one way to beat Juracek - you morons that keep going just need to stop until a change is made. It’s okay to say you support the Hogs but the program is run like shite and you aren’t paying for a shite product. Those who are already onboard know this is the only way to ever exact change in Razorback Sports (outside of locker room orgies and whatnot).

People are already burying and downvoting because we “came so close” yesterday and Hunter and Sam are good dudes who know what they’re doing. They just need a little more time…

6-6 was always the goal. Until we invest more financially, there's no reason to invest emotionally

Bequette is absolutely right. There’s always a sacrificial lamb who gets the blame for team issues, as well as some carrot to get the fan base invested.

Remember when the NOLA guys who all portaled out after 2021 were the problem?

Remember when the DB coach was the problem?

Remember when it was the S&C coach after 2022 who was blamed for awful locker room chemistry?

Remember when KJ and Rocket were blamed for last year’s team chemistry issues?

I yield to few in my affection for Petrino, but I saw his hiring for what it was — a ‘wag the dog’ gesture by Pittman and Yurachek to get the fan base re-engaged for 2024.

Petrino made our offense statistically better this season, but he shite the bed on going all out for Green. He was here what he was at Boise, an inaccurate 1:1 QB with poor mechanics and worse vision. We win 2 more games with even a marginally better QB.

So we’ve been told there’s more money now to buy players.

I want Petrino to be a part of the program.

I’m willing to give them one more year so long as they go out and get a competent group of OL and a good QB.

It’s crazy to think how close we were to a 10 win season with the bounds of stupidity that we displayed every game.

I thought Taylen was going to figure it out over time, but I no longer feel that way.

He is a mobile QB without any vision. That poor vision was both in his passing ability and running ability. Instead of running into open space he would run into sacks. Not only that but he would wait too long to run when nothing was open downfield leading to minimal gains rather than 5/10 yard gains. And when he would get flushed to sideline he would just throw the ball up rather than getting a few yards with his legs.

Taylen has been the most frustrating mobile QB to watch. He has a gift but maybe he just doesn’t have IT upstairs to make the jump to being a top tier QB.

This isn't a money problem.

This roster could have easily won ten games this season if they took care of the ball and limited penalties.

It wasn't a lack of talent that lost these games.

Congratulations to Pittman for proving it takes a minimum amount of competency for Arkansas to be bowl eligible year and and year out. I think most knew this before bert-chaggy. It is still a fact that if a team actually tries, 2 sec wins per year is the basement for Arkansas. It takes someone special like Bert or Chaggy to do worse than that, it an indicator for immediate change being required.

You can't be mad at Pittman for meeting the expectations he was hired to make, he doesn't deserve a raise or lifetime contract for meeting these minimum base expectations that were present before Bert and chaggy.

HY set the low expectations. The real question is when or if expectations will be raised.

Pittman had five seasons to get a good OL.

The only way this coaching staff could get me back on board is to cut Green loose/make a big move to retain Singleton with the clear indication that he is the starter of the future. This would show me that they are actually serious about winning and not just being the "good guys" and friends to the players.

It won't happen because they're too loyal, nice, and stubborn to a fault, but it became clear throughout the season that Green has a ceiling that he continued to bash his head on and it cost us games. Singleton will transfer for starting time and tear it up wherever he lands, let's just hope it isn't in the SEC. And THAT should be the final nail that gets this staff fired for gross mismanagement.

They could also gain a lot of goodwill by hiring a big name GM and bringing on some analysts, and something has to be done to show they're serious about limiting boneheaded mistakes and turnovers.

This team was good enough to win 9 or even 10 games this year without the stupid mistakes, turnovers, and lacking that killer instinct to put games away. That is the single most frustrating thing for the fans that are calling for change, the talent was there to be much much better and we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot. Its a Hallmark of the Pittman era and not just this season.

How about another year with Green and the leaders of false starts and holding penalties?

That’s low hanging fruit.

When the team is bad, everyone is just quick to blame the quarterback.

Green was a liability at times but he did plenty to give this team 8 or more wins. The problem was turnovers, penalties, and dropped passes in that order. Most of those weren’t TGs fault

Taylen had his fair share. But he didn’t cause Sategna to muff punts or Dubinion or Jackson to fumble inexplicably.

No, it was Sam’s fault remember.
