Bucknam should have been gone long ago. The womens program though has almost turned into what the mens used to be.


McDonnell and Bucknam have different philosophies, and I think it's clear McDonnell's was superior. McDonnell focused on distance runners and jumpers. Great distance runners and jumpers can compete and point in multiple events. Plus, a strong distance running team is obviously going to give you a strong Cross Country team, which improves your chances for the Triple Crown.

Bucknam's emphasis seems to be more on sprinters. While sprinters can compete in more than one event, there's a lot more specialization with sprinters than with distance runners. Bucknam has done a decent job, but every Arkansas coach will be compared to McDonnell.

The list is too small, in football I’d say there are at least 15 teams that demand success. Now demanding success and achieving success are two different things. Look at Tommy tub, Les miles, frank solich, Kevin sumlin, Tommy Bowden, and others I’m forgetting that were good solid coaches but got canned. The premature firing of fulmer, fsu giving Willie T only two years. There’s tons of others examples.

This is highly unlikely.

One you have to be ghey af to be a male cheerleader.

No way those guys are straight.

Secondly there are no 10/10 women on the aggy campus.

Muschamp got a longer rope because of the 2012 season.


Muschamp got a longer rope because on paper he was a pretty good fit.

- great DC
- head-coach-in-waiting at a top school
- grew up in Gainesville
- young

I think UF really wanted it to work out, so he got the 4th year. The 3rd year was also considered a wash since we lost Driskel.

How many hours did you spend on your knees in front of them?

Is that why your college nickname was human jizz jar?

Agreed. We won't put up with mediocrity for long in baseball. Hell, some of our more recent coaches post-Tanner got too much time IMO. We have to get back to success.

After Meyer

Muschamp 4 years
McElwain 3 years
Mullen 4 years
Napier 3 years +

I guess we finally moved on from the M's to the N's. Maybe the O's are next?

No one is surprised if Bama wins at football, Kentucky wins at basketball, or LSU wins at baseball is another way of saying it. Every other school is a relevant surprise, even if they are on a run.

Huh?

Oh yeah, seems like I vaguely remember a time when Bama had a little run going.

Just kidding sort of, Randy did a great job at UF, just that Eddie did a better job at Texas.

I think you meant to say Texas did a much better job retaining Eddie than y'all did Randy. Randy quit y'all after winning men's and women's sec coach of the year in 90
