I mean who wouldn't jump at the opportunity to leave Arkansas right now. There will be a total staff clear out after next season.

We are full sail right now my friend. BMFP is back in the saddle and we're finally getting into the big boy playing field on NIL.

Hiring for mainly recruiting


He might be a worse recruiter than coach. He needs to be coaching a high school program

Pittman actually hired him to coach TE. Then was moved to Oline coach. He was Pittman’s boy, so I’m sure that’s why he wasn’t fired already.

Probably the worst OL coach in the country, thank you Miss State.



This is like blaming the mechanic for the dealership selling you a lemon.

Rumor is the Oline players told Pittman to get rid of Kennedy or they all enter the portal.

Wouldn't you be fine with losing them too?

There’s potential and talent there. Two of our guys were seniors yet regressed under his coaching.

He seemed to do just fine under Briles and never a peep out of Hog fans. Enos comes along and suddenly Kennedy is the problem after 1 year. Dawg food for thought.

Quality coach would have told them to not let the door hit you in the arse on the way out. Players run your program? Seriously?

Bad O-line probably worth a single point in game.

Gonna be a riveting 6-3 Dawgs win next year.

I see the real reason he left. Pittman was jealous that he had a more perky rack.

No experience Lebby is putting together a G5 staff.

It's almost like successful head coaches don't want to move to Starkville.

Not that I disagree with you.....but how is that relevant to Cody Kennedy?

An argument could be made that on passing downs, we had running backs missing protection blocks, KJ causing coverage sacks from bad reads and lack of progression discipline (all true), and maybe WR's not gaining separation and thus causing coverage sacks (I don't blame any WR's in our case)


But...we were 89th in the nation in rushing offense. Totally unacceptable and totally the fault of Cody Kennedy. Maybe he knows how to draw it up on the white board, but he sure as hell does not know how to coach it.


And yes, Dan Enos was partly to blame. None of us were in those offensive staff meetings.


We will run the ball well with Petrino.

I'll agree if you're talking about in between the 20's.

In the red zone the OL was absolute garbage
