So like Alabama's season after Saturday night?
I don't see any Auburn fans sweating. We are all enjoying the ride right now.

We tend to make hires quietly and under the radar. It was that way with Petrino. Nobody knew shite until it was inked. He was barely mentioned before we signed him.

Same with Fatfrick.



Basically the right and professional way unlike the shitshow that Tennessee is.

Even if Arky does not get Gus. This is a good sign. It shows maybe now they are willing to swallow some of that ridiculous pride.

It was laughable hearing Arkansas fans talking about how 2013 would be a fluke. And then how Bert had Arkansas on the rise... pure hubris and petty politics.

Dude you take this way too seriously, this season is already a blast. I’m sure your life changed dramatically after the iron bowl

Waiting to see if Malzahn loses on Saturday. If he does he’s leaving, if he wins it’s Norvel. Book I?t. I?t will be done.

It’s either Gus, Norvell or Kiffin. Kiffin would be my favorite then Norvell. I don’t like the fact that if we get Gus it’s jusf because we are his fall back option because he’s scared of getting fired at Auburn. Norvell wants the job bad and Kiffin has a reputation to fix they will both give it a 110% whereas Gus wouldn’t.

I actually think Kiffin would be a great fit at Arky. He's high risk/high reward but I think his personality would work in a state like Arkansas that doesn't have much else going on and doesn't have an easily offended blueblood base. The fans would love the amount of trash talking he does and he'd get the best recruiting class they've had in awhile right away. Even if he left after 3 or 4 years they'd be in a better position than they are now.


There are quite a few of us that think this as well. Some are against him, but would probably talk themselves into it. This is basically our exact line of thinking. Heard he has been interviewed for the job. Has arkansas ties as well. We could do worse.

Also been rumored that he is the chancellors and JCP’s top choice and some big donors like him to, if Gus says no. Rumors are he really impressed JCP in the interview.

He actually checks most if not all of my boxes. I'm ready for the lane train.

Me too. He would instantly improve our recruiting and by next year we would pull in top 15 classes. He’s my favorite choice but I’d be happy with Norvell also.

I haven’t heard or seen this anywhere before your post. Where did you hear it?

Heard it from people that I trust. Unfortunately it seems that the big faction of big money wants Gus or Norvell and the chancellor and JCP aren’t getting much of a say because money talks but there is still a chance that Kiffin comes out on top but expect Norvell if Gus falls through.

You be sure and be here if you lose Saturday and Bama manages to get in. Wipe your palms while you wait.

So who ever they hire will get eaten alive like all the coaches before not named Broyles.

Well, I never said that any of those home run hires ended well. But they are definitely outpunching their weight when it comes to bringing them in.


Just maybe it is the location that Arky is at that makes it harder to get anything going. Also bad luck happens!

Arky fans, I’ve seen the acronym GOBN used a few times in regard to your search. Does it stand for Good Ol Boys Network or is it some type of official organization?
