So the super league is why there are rumors the boosters are finally ready to pony up. Arkansas cannot get left out if/when that happens. We’ve seen what winning football does to enrollment, getting left out of something would be catastrophic.


Well yeah, they were paying Saban $10 and he was bringing in $50m a year in tickets, enrollment, food, hotels, booze, etc…

That’s why I don’t understand why we’ve allowed the last two AD to push Olympic and women’s sports bullshite. Yes we have to keep them because of title ix. But we don’t have to dump tons and tons of money into it.


Is it because Long and Yuracheck were completely incompetent when it comes to Football, basketball, and baseball? The sports that can and do make money? Yes.

Why hasn’t he hired a football GM yet? He is 4 years behind that right now. Why hasn’t he hired a money management firm in ARKANSAS to run the NIL? Is it because he is a failure and should be fired for cause? Yes.

Memorandum of understanding.
I don’t know if Bazz could be AD. I do know ours is failing. Hasn’t set up a football GM only, didn’t talk to Stephens or other money managers in Arkansas to set up NIL. All of this could have and should have been done in 20-21.

I do know Houston Nutt, Bazz, Nolan, Anderson, and others should be in our NIL raising all year long. Giving meetings like TD club, golfing events, etc…
quote:

Pretty sure I’d take Bazzel as our AD tomorrow

I’d be a little concerned with his lack of experience, but his work ethic would negate that a lot I think.


Should be a big 3 athletic director, which is just fund raising for those 3 sports. Then a regular AD that does all the other bullshite. Most of which I still believe comes to an end as we start taking the funding for the big 3. Keep whatever sports/scholarships that are needed to offset title ix but get rid of the others.

Eventually the big 3 will be rolled off the athletic department anyway.

Crazy most if not all of that stuff was on display in the BAC and coach's office under Nutt.

Then Long replaced Broyles and didn’t need 50+ years of legacy overshadowing him.

How do we know Bobby wanted Taylen for the second year? Or even Russell? How do we know this wasn’t a Sam thing? I’m not saying Bobby doesn’t want either, I’m just saying there was leaks Briles wanted KJ to leave and Sam went out and over paid him, because loyalty.

I doubt he's the hire, I'm just sick of the double standard in judgements passed when it's blatantly obvious which side of the ball has the biggest issues with playing winning football.


It’s been annoying since Briles was here. Didn’t matter how much we scored it would always be Briles fault because he didn’t score a red zone touchdown, not the defense or Odom for giving up 50.

Almost like the people only watch half the game.

The Giants just fired Brian Daboll. Interview him now! Would be a great hire IMO


People only go from pros to college because they can’t get another pro job or to take it easy. Belicheck thought UNC would be coasting into the twilight years and banging 24 year olds. Daboll has done 2-3 stints in college and everyone hated him when he was at Alabama.

Why would we hire an offensive coach when we have one that is proven and better? If we don’t hire Bobby we should go for a defensive coach.

Like I said, if this was pre NIL I would be all for it but you need booster backing and he wouldn’t have it.


If we fired Hunter, forced Stephens to actually set up and manage the money if we are even considering playing basketball games in Little Rock. The fan base supposedly donated $20m we were one of the top donating schools. We move top 20 apparel. We travel well for tournaments. On top of the 20m the school is going to have to give. So Ohio State paid $40’ this year, with little to no NIL major boosters for Pittman.

Almost like Pittman had the previous 11 months to make the team in his image.

We didn't fire Chad for going winless in the SEC his first season. I don't really even remember there being much pressure from the fanbase to do so. But we're going to let BP go for it, in what's not even a true first season?


We fired Chad because the stands were empty. End of story.

They were empty because he showed no signs of improvement. Bobby has shown improvement within the season more than Sam showed in his 4 years after his best season.

that is one of my points. And if Kiff goes anywhere.. .we have another to consider in OM, no to mention several other openings could easily be viewed better than Arkansas with Hy at the Helm.


Won’t just be Ole Miss it will be Missouri too with Drink getting the one Kiffin doesn’t choose.

Once again you never guys never have the balls to state what you believe. You just cry like women. Because stating an actual opinion like I don’t like Bobby or I’m a retard who wants Eric Morris comes with criticism. Nut up and say who you want.

Mind you, the offense has lost us 3 of those games.


Which one? When they scored: 35, 31, 31, 42, 24 (most against this school at the time), 35?

Never the defenses fault, offense just has to out score the other team.

Plus I’m sure he’ll have head coach offers as well.


Overpaying. We had two of the top paid coordinators under Pittman.

I’ve heard Maryland wants him back, but I’ve also heard he is untouchable after the death of the kid and losing the locker room.

You think he’d able to lure Durkin he’s never hired any top assistants


I think he is about to be jobless. And if he works with Bobby, whom he has worked with before he would have 2-3 years at the minimum to build his reputation back up and get a new job.

And that’s where Bobby is forced to eat this medicine of a smaller check to get a top DC and take a back door retention bonus.

It's almost comical, but is it nostalgia if it's literally the same?


But he got all them losses this season! I mean he didn’t keep a worthless coordinator after 2 previous years of shite performance, because he had mad flow and sick rhymes. But let’s blame Petrino for that, because it’s easier than just saying I don’t like Petrino.

RB- under-recruited but top of the conference. Good depth, 4.5 40 times, maybe undersized but smart and hard runners. At least one of them is from central or SE Arkansas


Do not matter, not that we shouldn’t get the best we can, but they are all replaceable. Judkins left Ole Miss, they never missed a beat. We lose Jackson, and Mike Washington is moving piles and busting holes.

Hope this turns out well but if history is any indication this ends up being like the Stan Heath hire. Making a “safer” hire from an optics perspective vs just getting the right guy and saying screw the optics/risk.


I agree, history might not repeat but it definitely rhymes. IMO with Hunter being a feckless talentless person, he will go after who has been calling him personally this entire time. Sayin I really like the way you handled Sam, yeah everyone wanted you to not extend he contract when he went with Sexton, and yeah everyone wanted him fired last year, but you stuck to your guns, also I like how you are fighting back on this NIL.

Which means we will get a Dabo, a shite sandwich they tell us is caviar.
