If he cooperated with that TV show, he still lied his arse off about some things, hid them

They certainly didn't have enough talent to beat Toledo.

That narrative would fly if were not for what he’s doing at Illinois.

Arkansas has been on a free fall since the Motorcycle accident. Still funny he was fired as he was running off the field.

He was fired in a small room in the stadium.

Then he had the nerve to tell everyone that he will leave Arkansas in better shape than when he found it.

He will find a way to underachieve with that charmin ultra soft schedule and end up unranked at the end of the season.

Clark, did you see Paul Finebaum say this week that Deion Sanders interviewed for Arkansas, and he thought he had a chance, but those chose Sam? I didn’t even know that piece of tea until Paul dropped it.


That’s the first I’ve heard of that. But I’m glad he didn’t get the job.

Well, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, UAB, and LA Tech didn't have any openings on their schedule.

Neither did my 3-9 Cowpokes. I wonder who we beat to get those three wins?

That was with a similar schedule from a year ago.

Bert and pressure don't go together.

He had amassed NFL talent on the 2015 team and was preseason top 20.

Lost to Toledo at home and blew what could have been a special season.

He will find a way to screw it up.

Rumor mill says he was in the bottle while he was here.

Reportedly he was slacking off on recruiting too. Supposedly, the reason Pittman quit is because they had some huge recruits coming in but Bret and Jen jetted off to Vegas instead of staying to meet them and left Sam to handle it.
