I am not trolling. They are just about to repeat history is all. Check out Bret Bielema’s record. And see who they hired. Then look at Pittman’s record. Who will they hire?
It is crazy they are firing Pittman mid season, after one bad season, without having anybody lined up to replace him. We see how those type coaching searches almost always go. Not good.
But maybe it will be different this time.

Here come the delusional fans that think we will get a big name hire. Hogs will have to settle again. We are the new vandy. Will just have to enjoy basketball and baseball from now on

Why dogging on Stacy Searles? We would love for him to come home. Don't know why it hasn't happened yet.

That could change but only if they made the right hire.
But looking at past history, it will just be another bad hire.

How about Bama take Sam Pittman for about four years and see if he does well or not?

What happened to you? You used to be a good poster 5 years ago. You've been relegated to the "this dude sucks" category and it makes me sad

Why would Alabama get rid of Saban to hire Pittman? That doesn’t make sense. But let’s just say we do. If given four years, he would almost certainly have a 10 win season or two. Every single coach who has coached at Alabama since Bryant had at least one 10 win season. Pittman is a better head coach than Dubose and Shula, and might be better than Curry and Perkins. I can’t see how he wouldn’t have a 10 win season or two at the minimum. He had a 9 win season at Arkansas.
Let’s be honest, the Alabama job is just a more desirable job than the Arkansas job. For a number of reasons, it just is. And will naturally attract coaches and players more so than Arkansas.
One of those reasons is what Bear Bryant did at Alabama and what he did to turn a good Alabama program into arguably the number one program. And for sure a top three program. The reason Bryant came to Alabama is he had ties there. He played at Alabama. Just as Kirby waited for the Georgia job to open up, because he played there.
Arkansas is a good job but not a great job. Recruiting is a challenge there, there just isn’t as much talent in their back yard as Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. They have to recruit Texas, and they are competing against a LOT of other teams for those recruits. And the Texas schools have proven they will pay what it takes. In addition, the writing is on the wall in terms of loyalty. A coach coming in knows he will have three years to get it turned around. He knows if he stumbles just one year he will be fired. And Arkansas is just not as big a brand as the Texas/Oklahoma/Alabama/Georgia/USC/Ohio State/Michigan/Notre Dames of the world. Not a knock, just fact. So, Arkansas has some challenges.
Are there any good up and coming coaches that have ties to Arkansas? Someone that wants to come home? That is what they need and what they should have waited for instead of acting emotionally and firing their decent if not great coach with no apparent plan on how to replace him.

I'd love to get Pittman back, but Searles has been solid.

It's not mid season. And he's had 4 seasons to prove he's above mediocre.

Not really dogging on him, but Pittman is the best OL coach in the business (and Matt Luke was better than Searles too). We're happy to have him, but Pittman is an absolute upgrade that we'd jump at.

Yet we recruit around the same as Ole Miss and better than Missouri who are both having really good seasons.

You’re a big pussy. Also, it doesn’t have to be a big name hire, just the right hire.
