It doesn't bother me. You say he was our 5th or 6th option, yet he has already beaten two of the first year coaches you likely think "passed us up." He will also beat Mizzou in year one. He is the best new hire in the league by a frickin mile and anyone watching these games would agree.

Both Costello and Corrall were touted as the best QBs in the league and Barry Odom ruined both of them. Missouri won't do any better. Deal with it.

Arky is giving up 418 yards per game, they gave up 450 last year.

Points are far more important than yards.

Arkansas defense barely showed any fight with Chad/Chavis. The Hogs are getting key stops that they haven’t in quite some time which has allowed them to actually play competitive SEC ball again.

Nah, y’all still suck. You’re getting very lucky with turnovers and that will run out eventually.

Again though, if you’re happy with him then why get all bent out of shape about coaches that turned you down? You should be thankful they did if you truly believe Tittman is what you say he is. Oh shite...maybe you don’t actually believe that and you are just projecting????

Lane Kiffin attempted nine fourth down conversions against the Hogs. This destroys the "fluke" narrative. Yes, Arkansas was turning them over, but they've also been turning teams over on downs.

Look dude. I know you think you know what you are talking about. They’ve gained 13 fricking turnovers in 4 games. No one in the league is even close to that. We know that’s not “skill”. It’s good fortune.

Again, BO is a solid coach but let’s not get carried away here. Or, I guess we can. Member when Leach was going to own the SEC for years to come and he was the greatest coach to ever live yada yada? I member.

Arky blows. Their offense sucks. Their defense is ok, but getting very lucky with turnovers. That won’t last all year. You’ll see of course.

This conference has enough Tigers. I'm starting to think Mizzou should change their name to the Chihuahuas. You're just a bunch of yapping arse little dogs, begging to be acknowledged.

Yes, we see your irrational ire toward our football program. Take your beggin strips and get back in the purse.

So? He always does that.

They put up over 400 yards despite 7 turnovers. Had they held onto the ball they would have went for 600 and 40. It is what it is.

Has anyone said that about Odom? Pretty sure we’re just pleased with the improvement no matter how you and some others want to downplay it.

Odom is up there for sure. With his unbelievable turnaround of the Arky D and his head coaching resume, it's going to be really tough for Arky to hold on to him as a coordinator. I'd be very surprised if he isn't a head coach again by next season.

And that’s reasonable and I’ve already said several times that he’s a good coach, but let’s not act like some of your fans (and hell, other teams fans) aren’t going off the deep end here

Odom/Pittman are best friends IRL, Odom ain't going anywhere. Not this year at least.

That’s not at all what happened.

Our AD did his rounds and was convinced by a group of former players Pittman could get the job done. He offered him the job.
