offered a better pay package than we did. We weren't playing the high end buyout game.

I'm not sure why they take this as some sort of insult. It doesn't even mean it was the right choice but from what he know so far this is what happened.

11 win, top 5 finish.....that's where you start and how you get there. Unfortunately a slut and a motorcycle caused a downward trajection.

You hired O as a "blue blood" program. We've had some damn good hires and some suspect/shitty ones just like everyone else.

You've had football success but you're no Alabama so stop turning your nose up so much.

Basically yes

Not to mention several of your resident shite stirrers show up in any thread about Kiffin and say something laughable.

Please don't delude yourself into comparing Arkansas football to LSU football. It's apples and oranges. We have so many competitive advantages to Arkansas. It's why we AVERAGE ten wins over two decades, play in national championships under a succession of coaches, etc. Recruiting base, football culture, state passion for the game, University branding and loyalty, etc. It's what Bama has and Georgia has and Florida has-natural advantages in the 21st century. Arkansas can't replicate LSU-but they can get back to 8-9 win seasons . Arkansas is essentially in the same boat as Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Missouri, Vanderbilt etc.

Jesus dude. For someone whose team is playing in the national championship you are incredibly insecure. I hope LSU doesn't lose or you will hang yourself.

We are all saying "well Pittman should rebuild the program to where it should be" and you are having the vapors over there.

You are having a screaming fit that you've had a good last twenty years, we aren't on here yelling about how we had a good run in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Calm yourself down boy. I'm worried if someone brings up Arkansas breaking our last losing streak in SEC play against LSU that you will start cutting yourself.

Oh and the best explanation I can come up with has a lot to do with your “blue blood” comment. They have an extremely inflated opinion of themselves as a school (muh money!). When Kiffin jilted then for OM (which is what happened, due to a number of circumstances, don’t believe their sugar coating BS) it was something their brains could not comprehend.

This is comedy gold right here from an Ole Miss fan. LOL!

You just described every alum and student at Ole Miss.

No we certainly aren't Alabama. They stand alone historically AND in our current era. But on Monday we will play to win our third national championship in four tries since 2000. So We are just a little better in our current era than say Florida or Ohio State or Oklahoma or USC etc and second fiddle to Alabama (and maybe Clemson?), which we all understand. But we will be playing for national championships under THREE SUCCESSIVE COACHES, which tells you a bit more of the story. We are not coach-dependent. You are making an argument that a great coach can save you. Not likely. As soon as a coach propelled you to consistent winning he'd bolt to a team with better competitive advantages. You know this. Because nobody wants to try to run this SEC Gauntlet at Arkansas of all places. It's just too difficult.

I wish Pittman well, I have no doubt Arkansas will beat the crap out of LSU on given Saturdays in the future, but I'm not going to lie to you to make you feel better. Arkansas has way too many competitive disadvantages to ascend to the level of the bluebloods and sustain it for more than a random year or two. I mean, it's Arkansas.

---

With our competitive disadvantages accounted for we still beat y'all plenty. I think more than anything we are just unlucky (Dropped foul in Omaha should be all you need to to tell) We aren't a blue blood but of course we are only few plays in several games from having some serious hardware. See 1965, 1969, 1998, 2005, 2010. All could have ended with a natty. I do know one thing for sure tho. We'll be back to fricking shite up soon enough.

Traditional Powers in the West, in order-
Bama
LSU
Auburn
Arkansas
Aggie
Miss State
Ole Piss

don't @ me, @ Google you pre-pubescent bitchboi (op).

They legitimately believe they are a blueblood or some shite

None of us believe that. We believe we're better than Vanderbilt-level success. Oh, the gall.

Every team in the country would be absolutely pissed if they hired Sam Pittman

---

Georgia hired Kirby Smart. Tennessee hired Jeremy Pruitt. LSU hired Ed Orgeron. Two of the "Big Six" have coaches with no prior HC experience, and one of them has a coached who failed at Ole Miss. It was worth ridiculing us over Chad Morris, because we knew exactly what we had when we hired that loser. We don't know what we have with Pittman, except he was one of the best at his position jobs, is a good recruiter, and is highly respected.

these fricks are puffing out their chests claiming they had Kiffin and Leach an chose not to get them.

---

We did choose not to get Leach, and I would have been pissed if we did. I can barely think of a more overrated coach than Mike Leach. It's been known he's expressed interest in this job the past three times it's been open, and we keep passing him up. Thank God.

As for Kiffin, he wasn't my first choice, but he was definitely in my top five, and I absolutely wanted that guy. My whole knock on him wasn't his coaching prowess, but that he doesn't seem to stay anywhere long, acts immature, and burns bridges along the way. I was hoping for a more long-term solution, but there's a chance he could have changed and I really warmed up to the idea by the end of it. There are conflicting reports of what exactly happened, but the thing I've heard most is we allegedly had reached an agreement in principle, and the same group of wonderful boosters who brought you Chad Morris threw too much of a fit because he wasn't their guy.

I think Ole Miss got a good one and I won't pretend they didn't. That doesn't make Pittman a bad hire. We'll just have to wait and see on that one.
