Their historical rivals of course still hate them (MSU, LSU) but hiring Kiffin has rekindled the hate Arkansas fans had toward Ole Miss after Nutt headed to greener pastures.
Throw in UTK being all kunty because of the revolving door at the HC position that started with Kiffin leaving.
Now you got the Gumps already worried about tDecline seeing the guy who brought the UAT offense into the 21st century is in the same division and bringing swag into Oxford.
The Kiffin hire brings a lot of intrigue into what would normally be unexciting games.
tFear from the Sippi Dogs has been the most amusing to read on here.

Kiffin is about to give them all of Saban’s plays

I hate Ole Piss but I'm excited for the Lane Train to be back in the SEC for the pure excitement factor.

I also have no problem with Lane being back. I wish him nothing but the best.

I live in east TN and all my UTK friends are pumped about it.

What?
AR fans were dying to get rid of Nutt.
Do you not remember the banners?

Radio here in Birmingham has livened up too with Kiffin reportedly going after Saban staff

Oh yeah.. this is our worried face.
I'm actually looking forward to the press conferences.

They didn't want to see him stay in the division.
Besides, I think history has proven that aside from the wild rides Petrino gave Arkansas with a pair of double digit win seasons, Arky has been a disaster since Nutt left.
shite, Petrino got a warm welcome in Arkansas earlier this year.

This narrative that Arkansas wanted Kiffin has been shot down by many Arkansas posters on this board. They got their man. Why would there be any tension between ole miss and Arkansas?

Then why did Arkansas send Hunter Yurachek and Jon Fagg to Boca Raton?

Smoke Screen. Arkansas never wanted Kiffin! Ole Miss DID NOT beat Arkansas head to head for a big name coach. Yurachek DID NOT get beat by an AD who had been on the job less than a week. I’ve been told this repeatedly by Arkansas fans so it must be true.

Exactly. And Kiffin is definitely not referencing one of the reasons he said no to the Arkansas job in the below quote:
quote:
Kiffin also praises the staff, including former head coach Matt Luke, for assembling a roster full of promising young talent. "That's a big part of the reason I'm here, the way you guys and Matt built this roster, and what set this job apart from other opportunities I had," Kiffin says.

Apparently to have him sign a Memorandum of Understanding but not a “committable offer” according to Arkansas fans.
Makes sense, right?

Yeah totally. Considering Yurachek was already talking about a buyout in CSP's introduction press conference I am sure it will work out well for the Hogs.

Arkansas got the last laugh though. Nutt's final season at Ole Miss makes the Matt Luke years look good in comparison.

Ole Miss went 2-10 that year.
Arkansas has a few of those since Nutt left, plus a 3-9 year.

not all Gumps are worried. In fact, I doubt many are because Ole Miss isn't going to compete on the regular with Alabama
I think most Alabama fans, anyhow, like Kiffin. I know I do and I think the SEC will be more fun with Kiffin than without him. He's kind of an irreverent Spurrier type. Probably not as good a coach, but damn nigh as entertaining.
