Probably means the rest of the sec projects to 80-100 mil next season.
What's amazing is this is the type of guy you would expect Hunter to hire with his losses equals cause for firing bullshite.

This guy is at wake, so he was available and possible for the Arkansas opening .

But Hunter is all talk and too lazy to do his actual job well, his hires are a direct reflection of him.

He hasn't bitched and moaned about being out bid for players, he takes it for what it is in others overpaying.

His time with the nets probably helped, I'm sure they had a budget and he had to work with what was available.

He also recruits HS players which are way cheaper than portal guys, better bang for the buck.

He is the only HC on the hill who hasn't bitched at some point about the amount of NIL available. He is also they only one who hasn't spent every penny available every year.
Cal changed the offense a couple weeks ago and opened up the rotation.

Instead of 7-8 man rotation and because this team has the depth of players who will play defense, a 9-10 man rotation is likely as well as full court pressure and up tempo offense.

Instead of 1 Billy Richmond high energy hustle guy there are 3 and more who can play at this energy.

More of a team sharing the load of minutes and scoring which will be a fun change to the relying on a single guard going back to Muss' first year.

If this comes to be true, I guess the "Cal refuses to adapt or make change" narrative from Kentucky will prove to be another thing untrue as the try to move on from the Pope era.
Arkansas has won more SEC games than anyone predicted for this season.

It was a hard game to watch.

Neither team looked good.
Surprised he was there.

Wonder if they will post a clip to X giving Silverfish the game ball.
It is really amazing the football program has raised the amount of funds it has with zero effort put into bringing them in.

An honest effort gets you "top half of the sec". Will Arkansas ever raise Texas, Aggy, LSU amount of funds? No, but they don't have too spending the most doesn't win you the most. Jerry Jones should be able to explain that to everyone with 30+ years of data to back it up.

Well with all the touches Sutton Smith was getting for negative yardage while Russell was MIA in the the 4th quarter after getting the team the lead in the third, playing injured linemen who have been ineffective etc, questions can be raised when production shows itself when opportunity is only given due the injury.

Basically at question has been growing if results and production are driving play call and personnel decisions or has it been NIL and promises during the recruiting process.

Silverfield made a statement in the post game presser that the questions being raised about running backs shuffling in every play and production not leading to more carries cause him to reevaluate the situation before the Vandy game.

What we saw was more Russell and Settles and less Sutton Smith. Results were the highest rushing totals for the season and a win on the road in the SEC.

Credit where it's due if Silverfish is acknowledging he ended up with his players at Memphis not from superior talent evaluation and/or recruiting but because better played are available to be taken by SEC schools...
So Bert, Chaggy, and Petrino all have 0fer SEC seasons, Silverfield has two more trys.
It is still troubling to see players capable of providing depth and possibly contributing more through development going to other SEC schools instead of Arkansas.

The Epstein stuff was to the point where she had no choice but to resign from Congress, but only after waiting two months to secure her pension.

Allegedly candidates have been reached out to and the interview process has started.

Keith Carter was one of them, allegedly.
Remember it is negative talk on the Internet and people not attending games that causes this.
Was Hunter even at the game Saturday? His presence was missed during the honoring that takes place during game.

He still hasn't tweeted since the Utah debacle, even after the volleyball team beat the defending national champions.

APR is still a thing.

Before NIL, APR was the big bad boogie man to explain away shitty hires.
The truth of the matter was Hunter talked to Franklin. Franklin said he needed 40mil total for NIL and assistant coaches.

Hunter said yeah, you will have to raise your own NIL and had no firm commitment of where the NIL was currently.

VT said no problem we project to have this much NIL, but we are going to do this and that to get you to x amount.

See Franklin's comment about another program having no money or plan for the money.

Hunter then turned to Silverfield and had the deal done in October of last year.

That was the coaching search. When it was a lack list fail against you gotta let people know no one wanted the job because the fans don't contribute to NIL.

The only win left on Arkansas' schedule is the firing of Hunter Yurachek.

Ticket revenue from football pays the shortfall for all the sports we are good in besides mens basketball which supports itself. Every other sport is not self sustainable.

A massive drop off in season ticket sales in football would cause concern especially if the academic side had to come up with the short fall.

The other sports is what Hunter points to while showing football is profitable so there is no problem. Caliperi* is the only HC of the other sports he brags about success that either wasn't hired by Jeff Long or wasn't already on the staff from a HC hired by Jeff Long with DVH being the exception.

*Hunter can believe he hired him if he wants.

Hunter has been trying to land a new job for years now, no one wants him, including the majority of people in Arkansas.

Allegedly the SEC has a problem with him being fired this early in the season because he is the head of the playoffs committee and this would be the second head in a row that was fired during a season and would be the second time Arkansas did this.

If this is true what does Arkansas get out of keeping him? Road games to UGA , Bama, and Ole Miss next year?
I think Russell had zero carries in the 4th quarter and zero after the penalty negated his run for 20+ yards.

This from a team that had an inability to run the ball, when a guy actually had explosive runs we need to bench him and give someone else a try.
