Yeah i mean at the time, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Colorado were still running option offenses and they were near the top of the pile in CFB. Even Miami was pretty run-heavy until Dennis Erickson I think

We didn't have the best choices because we had an 80 year old AD that needed to retire. Then you follow that with the snob Jeff Long and you just stepped in shite outside your door.

Houston Nutt shouldn't be hired because Tommy Tuberville was more qualified but Nutt wowed the search committee and was hired instead, bad move because he underachieved when had the talent. Tuberville would at least gotten an SEC title.

Pittman has been a head coach but not in division 1.

Petrino wasn't a con-man. Jeff long was with his integrity bull shite. Petrino just didn't agree to the terms of keeping his job. That is on him. Jeff Long helped kill the program. He was fired because he is a pompous self centered bitch.

Bert would not have been hired if a younger Frank Broyles was the AD. He would have called Barry Alvarez and get Intel on Bert. After the phone call, he would move on to someone else. Why? Because Bert is an alcoholic and he would pass out in his office. So yes a real go getter alright.

Arkansas tried to swing for the fences and went after big names. But they declined for different reasons. Lane Kiffin was the target for a while and was almost hired until Jimmy Sexton came in wanted more money when the contract was already agreed upon.

This irritated Hunter Yuracheck who was been rumored of not like dealing with Jimmy Sexton.

That was on a Saturday and Sam Pittman came calling the next day.

I like Sam Pittman and I have not seen such passion for the program since Ken Hatfield. Those type of coaches will succeed.


Barry Odom was the same way. Look how it went? He got fired!
Also Why did Arkansas wait so long to hire Sam Pittman? I mean failures after failures Instead of hiring Chad Morris should have hired Sam Pittman.

You bought the sanitzed Arkansas GOBN version of the Kiffin search for $1.99 and free tater tots

The Jerry Falwell Hair faction of the GOBN, responsible in part for the Morris hire (because he's like Gus!!), threw a fit for the second time about Kiffin (he was very much in the mix for HC in 2018 also)

Hunter had his man and it was Kiffin. Then the Falwell Hairs (and John Tyson for different reasons) started torpedoing the process by demanding over the top moral clauses, over the norm

They did this in intentionally to piss Kiffin off and make him walk. Then they blame it on Sexton

It's always someone else's fault with these GOBN factions - the Falwell Hair Gus Army, John Tyson and his eternal push for Butch Davis, Jerry Jones being allowed to screw us by bowing to his ego and hiring Morris (with blessing from the Falwell Hair guys), Jim Lindsay before (or alongside) most of them, many others


Jeff Long Bad (correct) so GOBN Good (no)

"Julie Cromer Peoples hired Chad Morris" BS Mike Irwin is a bought and paid for liar for the GOBN as is Clay Henry, Wally, whoever occupies the radio mike from East Springdale, etc - Julie Cromer Peoples did not hire Chad Morris

John White and Nutt - to cover for Jim Lindsay pushing that button - the 1997 "committee" was Jim Lindsay

They even "made nice" after Kiffin flipped them the bird and went to Ole Miss, acting like, aw naw we never had a problem with Kiffin, but you know, Sexton messed it up, yada yada yada

Or "Kiffin was dishonest and demanded more money after everything was agreed to" yada BS

Poor little GOBN they always do the right thing and everything is always someone else's fault



We will lose Hunter Yurachek over that search - I'd guess he gave himself a two year plan to escape Arkansas and never have to deal with those factions again

Once again who will have a better recruiting class with Chad Morris or all of the Arkansas new coaching staff? That is the one to look long and hard at the mirror to decide which will have a much better success with their own recruits in a few years.

It is whatever version it needs to be. It could be the truth or just made up information. It didn't matter anymore once your top candidates turned you down and when that happens you start scraping the bottom of the barrel and then the discussion is a bout Lane Kiffin. Moral is low and so who cares who is hired.

No one knows. Anyone can point that out as the problem and that would be easy. I never wanted Gus and I thought it was a waste of time. But it might be a last ditch effort after other candidates said no. But no one can prove that. It just depends on the agenda or excuse that keeps popping up. I do remember after Bert was fired, the Arkansas job wasn't nearly as prestigious unlike right after Petrino was fired. That was the best time to strike but we got Bert instead. A lazy hire with no research by Mr. Integrity.

Hunter had Kelvin Sampson but I guess the so called good ole boys stepped in right? Or maybe it had to do with something else? It doesn't matter because Eric Musselman was hired instead. Sometimes the best candidate isn't the first choice.

Yes message board fodder that no one cared or bothered to accept or deny. Just like Lane Kiffin was Hunter's target from the start and no other candidate was interviewed. Yeah right, the next candidate was always the target until they say no and you just keep going down the list.

I don't know a bout that. That could be the truth or just made up bullshite but I don't care. When you start getting into the low hanging fruit like Kiffin does it really matter what to believe? Not really and everyone is ready for another disaster of a coaching search to be over.

It always the so called good ole boys fault when no one wants to face reality that Arkansas is a third tier football program that has zero ambitions to be better. No one wants to admit it and after 30 years the evidence is clear. It is always someone else's fault but yet the reputation as one of the worst programs in the nation is what they have and will continue until something changes.

Jeff Long is an a-hole. I talked with hog fans that had different back grounds and they all had the same experiences. A know it all and thought himself as better than you attitude. He made fun of the hog call and thought it was hokey.

Just a bout any fan with a brain knew Julia didn't hire Chad Morris. She was the face and certainly not in control.

Mike Irwin maybe but he did get fired for revealing too much information a bout Mitch Mustain and the other Springdale players. I don't know if that is the full reason but he wasn't in the same boat as little Wally and drunk Clay Henry at least not at that time.

It didn't matter if White or Lindsay made the call, Nutt wasn't qualified and shouldn't have been hired.

I didn't care if Kiffin was the guy or not. I gave up my season tickets after 2016 because no one cared anymore, so why should I care? I still go to the games but I'm not spending my money anymore since they did a good job of flushing it over the years. Until they take it seriously then I won't either.

Arkansas needs to accept the blame instead and decide if they want to compete with the big boys or not. Aim high or just be a bottom feeder, it is up to them. I checked out long ago. I don't care anymore.

Every school that has money has a so called good ole boy system. An AD will not escape it as they are the donors and boosters that the school gets money from. Hunter isn't going to leave here by choice. He isn't leaving that buyout money on the table.

I read Nolan Richardson's book. It went into details a bout how Hatfield walked out of Frank's office and was complaining a bout plays for the next game. Nolan took the plays from Hatfield. Nolan looked it over, crumbled the paper and threw it in the trash can. Nolan said, that is what I thought a bout Frank Broyles.

Every program has GOBN, sure


We've got the GOBN who is actually to blame for completely destroying a football program


That's Arkansas
No one else

I'm sure it was but he still had to listen to the individuals that are paying his salary just like any other AD. That was to aim higher than Kiffin. Kiffin was a plan c even though it might have been Hunter's first choice. Let's say that Matt Rhule doesn't go to the NFL and decided to jump to SEC. The Arkansas and Ole Miss jobs were the only ones open, Arkansas settles for Kiffin. Where do you think Matt Thule is going? Ole Miss. That thought would make your stomach turn because you settled for less when you could have hired someone better. It wasn't a realistic shot but you still have to try.

I’ll still be glad he’s not our head coach regardless of what he does in Aubs. Six months ago if I had to choose no football or have Chad as our head coach, I’d have chosen no football. That’s his level of suck.

that's not how it works dude

you hire an AD to let them do their job. You don't hire them to then tell them who they're going to hire

That's the problem with Arkansas. That's what we've always done. Fricking Lindsey was telling Frank who to hire and Frank was okay with it. Etc

That Chad may be fine as an offensive coordinator, but is simply not cut out to be a head coach in the SEC.
