The answer is simple.

The clue:

1, 3, 5, 7, 13...

Oh, really? I felt y’all treated Ed O pretty poorly as well. He didn’t deserve that…

Another problem is reputation and image which took a huge hit during the last 10 years.

If Arkansas wasn't in the SEC, they would be recruiting at a worse level. They come because Arkansas isn't some good football program but trying to play in the SEC.

Unlike Basketball which is a much bigger brand, football is a joke in comparison and struggle getting the top level recruits to visit. Not so much in Basketball and Baseball.

Both of those sports never got nuked from orbit repeatedly like football has.

I like Pitt and im not one calling for his head after a 3 point loss on the road but if we are keeping it real. We are undisciplined and have been for the last few years with all the penalties. Poor clock management. Dumb decisions to go for it on 4th or Ot(2pt conv) because the idiot fan base wants you to. Using all your timeouts because you cant get the play in...Those are on the coach and i would be ok if you learn from your mistakes but i beginning to think he may be in over his head and honestly he just doesnt seem happy anymore so maybe he is realizing it too



Maybe it's that swine flu from Arkansas mascot that has been carrying it around to the football players and their coaches.

NIL isn’t the issue.

KJ is making over a million which is why he was all smiles after a loss last night. He doesn’t care now that he’s been paid

Let's be real, Gus's offense got Nutt that 10 win season. If Nutt had been left to his own devices, McFadden would have never been on a team that won more than 8 games.

I think he is a good coach. He had the team play very well last night and hard. The loss to BYU was a surprise, since y’all were up a couple scores, but losing to BYU isn’t terrible. I wouldn’t be surprised if y’all beat the aggies.

Orgeron started living the salt life after his contract extension after the natty. Coaching LSU football became a side gig to beach life and running trim. It wasn’t a sustainable situation. But I will always love him for 2019.

I think we'll be seeing more and more of this, and certainly not limited to Arkansas.

If Bama lost to BYU, suicide alerts would go off in Tuscaloosa.

Arkansas lost to BYU?

Well that is just normal for Arkansas football.

If you can watch that game this weekend and say we do not have problems with coaching then you are special.

2008 Mizzou v Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl. All we heard about was McFadden. Absolutely drubbed Arkansas. He did nothing and quit in the second half. Was great.

In today’s environment, without a head coach and what went on during that season, most of those players would have opted out of the game altogether.

Credit to them for coming to the game I guess.

Did Arkansas care about the next 9 games? 2-7 vs Mizzou.

Nope, in fact a lot of fans quit caring altogether starting with the John L hire.
