So many similarities other than basketball vs football.

Big time money gamble for Arkansas.

Cal seems washed up and his stats at Kentucky are not very impressive at all, especially recently. Even worse if u consider the talent level he was recruting at.

Give Ark credit for swinging for the fences. Problem is, they didn't learn from our mistake of hiring a huge brand name that seems to be in a downward spiral. Kentucky fans jumping for joy. Kinda like FSU fans and Jimbo....time will tell.

Time will tell if he's fired up to prove his doubters wrong, or just wanted a change of scenery.

It will be interesting to watch. I'd want an X's and O's coach these days of NIL. Recruiting has changed ...

Cal is Jimbo 2.0. He’s going to make a little extra cash in Fayetteville and then hit the exit.

What are the similarities?

Cal has coached 32 seasons, won a national title and played for two more. Reached the Final Four 6 times. Won 18 conference championships and has won 76% of his games and is in the Naismith Hall of Fame.

Jimbo has been a head coach for 13 seasons, won a national title and won 3 conference titles.

Not seeing how those two are very relatable as there are two different class of coaches.

Haha, good one.

Fisher went to aggy where coaching careers go to die in all sports.

We aren’t giving him a trophy with a blank date on it for a natty, we’re just asking him to bring in quality players and give us exciting seasons which is less pressure than he has at Kentucky.

Who better to fill an empty roster than him and hopefully that happens. If he doesn’t get it done in 5 years then at least he’ll have kept us in the spotlight while he was here.

We don’t share the delusions of grandeur that texas programs have, y’all are full of shite.

This shows how little you know. The composite talent ranking that Elko was working with at Duke he exceeded expectations.

AKA his coaching efficiency +/- was “+”

That’s all A&M needs because we ranked six in composite talent ranking, but Jimbos coaching efficiency rating was negative that’s why we were terrible

It’d be more like if steve spurrier went to uga instead of USCe.

The talent overall in the ACC isn’t all that great compared to Duke either. He has top 10 talent at A&M but how many sec schools are in the top 10 as well

Brian Kelly isn't winning a championship at LSU. Count on it!
