Have y’all considered the possibility that he may just be too fat to move?

The best coach you ever had was run off. Your program has been stuck in the mud ever since

Who would arky fans want?.....that they could get?



When Lane picked Ole Miss over Arkansas that was the beginning of the spiral. It's just not the job that pig fans think it is

Arkansas doesn't have any goals or expectations and that is why they are bad.

The state of Arkansas has more football talent than Iowa.

The problem is the public school system sucks with poorly coached and developed teams. Arkansas is way behind many states who get every ounce of talent from these high schools.

Ya'll a bunch of scrawny Scotch Irish boys there in Arkansas. You can get a slot receiver out of that genetic group these days... but not O-linemen or TE's. LOL.

LOL. There should be about five 5 star players from Pine Bluff alone every year.

This is true as well. Currently live in a part of Florida that has the exact same demographics as Arkansas and they have sent multiple kids to play college football on scholarships each year. I see them practicing, running, lifting year round. They get developed.

So tell me why does every Arkansas football fan keep saying Little Rock schools need fixed to create a pipeline of players to the UA? There is more talent walking the halls and streets of LR than on their respective school teams.

I won’t disagree. Maybe this time we will hire a head coach and not a high school coach or assistant.

This is why if I were an Arkansas fan, I’d be real happy about Texas joining the conference. I’d be praying for Texas and Texas A&M as permanent/annual games too. Arkansas can and should recruit Texas well. Sure helps if you are playing the flagship schools every season again.

Arkansas should be able to compete for recruits against everyone except for the Horns and the Aggies. Sell SEC football to them while staying close to home and still playing games in the State of Texas each year.

This is literally how OU built a blue blood program with a similar demographic disadvantage. And Fayetteville is a hell of a lot nicer than Norman.

At some point you just have to admit that Arkansas in the modern SEC is a really difficult job.

- 32 SEC seasons
- 15 winning seasons (less than half)
- 7 conference winning seasons (22% - less than 1/4)

I'm not sure what a reasonable expectation year-in and year-out at Arkansas is at this point. Better than what Pittman has put on the field this year, for sure, but overall? 8-4 average?



Besides Petrino, every single coach at Arky has been a horrible dog shite hire. A good coach could easily win 9+ there every year. They need a HC that can get the boosters like Jerry Jones, the Waltons, and the Hunts to go all in on NIL. Look at their basketball NIL, it's top 5 in the country.

The sooner you accept that out of state talent ain’t flocking to Fayetteville, and the in state talent is shite, the better off you’ll be.

P.S.

I saw where you got your arse handed to you on hogville by those geriatric losers, I would be embarrassed if I were you.

Why doesn't Ark recruit Texarkana? Right on the border and they produce like seven or eight 4 and 5 star players every year.

The converse was true when we left the SWC. We left our recruiting hotbeds behind which killed us early in the SEC transition.

This is a good take. When I was in school there and we were still in the SWC we had a lot of players (and non player students) who were from Texas. We need to maximize that and get as many players from Texas as we can.

you know the answer to this don't you?

AD's are not chopped liver, especially a one who hired a grand slam basketball coach


Powers that be think they can frick with a guy like that? Hunter is flipping them the bird.

I'm not going back and rehashing the times Hunter has been fricked with by BOT and boosters. He's running this show, and he's shoving it up the boosters/BOT assses
