Flipped to Drive time on the way home (yes, I know, but there was nothing else on in my neck of the woods)

And apparently Trey Biddy was on there saying his people are telling him Hocutt is probably the guy as new AD with Derrick Gragg as a strong contender also.

So let me get this straight... You fired one guy with because he was too much of a corporate shill and didn't have enough Arkansas connection so hire his exact clone?? A guy's who AD resume is Miami, Ohio, and TT?... And played at K-state??

What am I missing here? Is this why we're paying 400K total for search firms?

And oh BTW, he was Venables room mate in college... So I guess if he's hired we all know how the next coach is.

Another "outsider" AD and another guy named Brent/Bret/Bert who was guided under Bill Snyder? Sound familiar?

My God, if we did all this and spent all this money just to essentially end up with the same situation I'm going to pull a fricking Tennessee.

It's simple... Fly to Boca, get back on the plane with The Lane Train and his gaggle of smokeshows and say hey Lane, who do you want your AD to be?

BTW, I guess we can only hire chairman of the Football playoff committed as AD...

P.S... Biddy said he's hearing that the new AD will be in place very very soon

At this point, it's quite clear that the GOB's are just shooting from the hip.

Lane has too much baggage for our BOT.

Our main problem in all of this is lack of leadership and who is actually in charge or knows about hiring ADs and head football coaches.

Oh so Biddy is where this is coming from. Hocutt is the exact opposite from what they supposedly want. Dude is trash and has been the center of two scandals. I don't see it happening but who knows

I'm honestly over his baggage. Dude seems like an extremely good fit here. Others on the rant have even said as much.

Seems to have matured based on interview w Dan Patrick this morning. Who cares if he trolls on Twitter some?

Fans are because we could care less. BOT and other admin fear what Lane will do next.

Otis is saying Hocutt is most likely the guy also. He said the name was sent to the BOT earlier today. On the bright side, they haven’t announced it yet so maybe someone up there has some sense and said frick no.

They need a scapegoat AD so we can finally start some real deal recruiting.

I'll be pissed, because we'll be stuck with a slimeball AD and Hothead rookie head coach.

Is the Gragg guy a much better candidate? Surely these aren’t the only two.

Yes.

He's worked in the AD at Arkansas, taught classes at Arkansas, earned his Doctorate at Arkansas.

He's done a good job at Tulsa IMO.

I know it would probably bring the candidate I want for our coach, but I agree with you guys on Hocutt. I don't think it would be a good hire.

It's clear there's some folks who like the idea of having someone on the committee.
