re: Arkansas Board says Pittman is a possible candidate for HC job

Our averages are also skewed by Asian immigrants yanking it up.

For every Asian immigrant there are 3 or 4 Middle Eastern or African immigrants who has never seen a school in their life. Same for their parents.

There is a lot of dumb in this country. We lag behind pretty much all of Asia and most of Europe.

I know most on here probably love him and will attack me, but look at who we elected as President. Anyone who thinks that bastard should be running anything, much less the country, needs their head examined.

As for Europe and Asia, we lag behind them in most areas, especially Europe. Yet dumbass Americans, many of whom have never left their state, running around talking about how we're #1.

I feel where you're coming from, but the alternative isn't exactly ideal. Neoliberals that want to bring in millions of low skilled migrants for the GDP are responsible for our declining PISA scores and other metrics.

There would be no Trump/Brexit/etc if these cosmopolitans had cared about the negative consequences of these policies.

Not that it matters a whole lot but the average American has an IQ of 98...that’s average as grits. Now, assume that the average American message board poster is likely 3-5 points higher than that...still not too bright. There is a lot of dumb in this country. We lag behind pretty much all of Asia and most of Europe.

The elephant in the room here is that IQ is largely a heritable trait, therefore it correlates very strongly to ethnicity.

The United States has a significantly more diverse population than European countries and east Asian countries (which is what I think you are referring to rather than "pretty much all of Asia"). If you were to isolate Americans of European decent, for example, and stack their IQ results against other European populations, the results would be similar. Similar thing with Asian Americans relative to their countries of origin, et al.

This veers into can of worms territory because IQ discussions have been deemed taboo by the PC police, but Americans are not just inherently dumber relative to the other countries by virtue of growing up here. We just have significantly different demographics.

I never denied being dumb. Who else tries to respond to angry people on the internet with real answers. That's about as dumb as it gets.

I swear to God I thought I was clicking on a Pitboss to Arky discussion...

Some folks keep the go-go gadget soap-box ready to spew-out whatever the hell they read on the internet.

It's comical, actually.

Anyway, why the hell would he go to Arky? He's been an O-Line coach and recruiter his entire life - one of the most successful in the country, and I've seen no hints that he wanted a HC job. Even if he changed his mind, why in the hell would he chose Arky as his first stop?

He'd need an experienced staff. What the hell kind of staff would he be able to hire to rebuild the Razorbacks with a first year HC over the next half-decade? I just don't see it.

This is what basically everyone established on the first page.

Yeah. It's called a course correction. Retrace steps so we can veer right where we initially took a left that proved to be a wrong choice.

It's mostly heritable. You can do things during development to maximize IQ (breastfeeding, not consuming lead, etc.), but schooling and training does not appear to help improve your overall score.

What in the entire frick did i just click

Ah, so immigrants and minorities are to blame?
