re: Luke Fickel, Justin Fuente, and Gus rumblings

One big reason is there is a really good chance we are getting someone with head coaching experience. It is pretty crucial we get someone who has some experience running a program. Another is whether it would be a good hire or not, getting Arkansas fans behind another SMU coach would be really hard.

Besides all of that, there are legit candidates that have proven more.

If we hire a defensive minded coach, it wouldn't be a bad idea to throw his name around for OC.

Serious question, why doesn't Arkansas entertain Rhett Lashlee over Gus?

I wouldn't give Lashlee a shot yet because he's too inexperienced. Needs to get a HC job at a G5 (similar to Drinkwitz) and work his way up.

Rashlee will never get a chance because there are still too many nutt huggers in our fanbase. And they can't stand the idea of a coach who cut his teeth in NWA being hired. "HE from da nwa - they da debil!"
