Rmemeber when Biddy and others were pumping Fuente

They just couldn’t let themselves believe that Arkansas would pay a whole bunch of money to fire two guys and then go out and hire a guy that had never been at least a coordinator.

Fortunately there are plenty of examples of position coaches being highly successful as head coaches in both the NFL and College levels.

The key to the Pittman hire was his ability to recruit, getting someone like Odom on the staff that can have frank game management discussions, and being able to evaluate the roster quickly.

He’s done all that and far exceeded my expectations in recruiting this “short cycle” class.

Homie is an animal on the recruiting trail.

Miss on Criswell? Ok.... go get Feleipe Franks AND Hornsby. Both were more highly rated than Criswell. That’s called being a frickin BOSS.

No OL committed? No problem, go jack the highest rated OLineman from both Missou AND Ole Piss.

Lol.

I forgot recruiting could be fun.

I remained fairly neutral throughout the search, because I worried more about us fricking up, than I worried about getting a great HC. But Fuente and Gus were 2 of a few candidates that I was strongly against. Gus seemed like a longshot, but I worried deeply about Fuente.

Pittman was actually one of my favorite candidates, but I was okay with most of them. In the end, Matt Campbell was the only one who I'd even put on the same level as Pittman, although Leach may prove better than expected.
