Can we please stop with the tired line of we can’t compete because we don’t have the talent?Arkansas had more players drafted than ole miss as well. Can we just be honest finally and say we’ve sucked for 15 years because we’ve gotten shitty coaches over and over.

I agree. I think we have fixed that. Seems like we might have a legit defensive staff again that doesn't just fly with the flavor of the week. Offensively we should be more measured and better at what we do even if the playbook is a little skinnier (it has to be, BP probably had one of the biggest playbooks in CFB).

Well yeah we would have won a lot more games last year with a competent coaching staff. All Pittman ever did was blow leads the last few years.

Agree overall but we’ve seen a lot that talented individual players don’t always make a great team. Our team with Grant Morgan, Hayden Henry and those guys was our best in a long time and several weren’t really draft prospects.

more proof to my point. Placing all of our football woes of the past decade plus on talent is a cop out. We may not have enough to win a national championship but we’ve got enough to win more than 2 or 3 games. Do people realize the 5 worst seasons in Arkansas football history all happened since Bobby fell off his bike. The leadership has been the overall problem

When I was an OC in HS, I went to the Tony Franklin system about 10 years in. Tried to run it all. We were ok at all of it but never got great at much. Cost us a lot of games. Later in my career we went to a more simplified version that focused a lot more on gap runs and RPO.... got really good at a lot less stuff. Suddenly our offensive numbers skyrocketed and we won a lot more. Granted I was at some schools that weren't powerhouses so win totals are relative, but I learned fewer tools and sharper blades seemed to be a better system than having the fanciest tool box out there.
I always felt like that was BP to an extent.... Offensive genius... but I just think it was too much for MOST college kids.... Obviously he had a special group his first go here.... but it never really felt like his QB's "got it" this time around.
I know enough of his scheme that I was very frustrated that Taylen's eyes went to the wrong read on the snap frequently and he just couldn't follow post-snap movement in the secondary. To me that speaks of the playbook being too big and he probably needed more time with fewer progressions.
Just my 2 cents from a former HS guy. I clearly am not and never will be on these guys' level, but a lot can be said for being great at a few things.

He was brought back to sell tickets, mission accomplished!

Tay Tay is/was a shitty QB, and his brain cell count was extremely low.

It remains to be seen if Chad Silverfield can be a viable replacement for Titboss.

Until then, Razorback football is dead to me.

Maybe, but the offense wasn't really ever the problem. Taylen finished 7th in the nation in QBR and just got drafted.

Yeah but what was our "go to" play when we had to have something? And how many times did Taylen look lost on them.
Granted, we couldn't stop a bad jr high team on defense, but offense routinely crapped the bed once the opposing DC made adjustments.

Petrino was just as much at fault as Sam.

Indiana has given everyone the blueprint. You have a massive advantage with 23 year old players.
