Title: LA TECH Game Thread - Sam’s Do or Die not really
Post by: Texzilla on Nov 23, 2024, 12:27 PM
Here's the game thread for what should be a blowout, but I for one have offered it as a sacrifice to hasten Fat Boys departure or put more heat on Yuri as he stumbles thru this tar baby he's picked up.

Sam wins and he's here thru 26 at least. So keep that thought as you celebrate a nothing win that fucks us up.

As ESPN says, He was just hired to make a bowl every year. Apparently being good in the SEC was not a requirement.

They can rename the Liberty Bowl, Arkansas's Superbowl, now.

Bobby magic isn't enough to overcome the amount of quit that Sam has infused into the program.  I am at peace no matter what happens today.

I'm at the point where I wouldn't be surprised if we blew them out or if we lose. There seems to be no consistency with a Sam team. You never really know what you're going to get week to week.

I'm thinking Sam gets to a 14 point lead, pulls the starters, gets lt to agree to 10 minute quarters, they come back and win when Sam runs out of time in his truncated game.  We're overdue for a massive Sam fuckup.

This is the D crew.

On our 3rd play the camera was 15 yards downfield following Dubinion while Green was running for his life in the backfield. And the announcers were acting like Dubinion was streaking for a TD.

That timeout we called there toward the end of half really allowed LA TECH to take a breather and come up with a defense to stop our wiz bang offense. I think we proceded with 3 straight NULL plays followed by a 4th and 15 run for 12.

Fletcher over Bauer, Pool over Paul, Dubinion over literally any other back, the kicker this year, Green over Singleton, took him forever to give McAdoo a chance in 2022, et al.

He might make it as a receiver in the NFL, continuing our legacy of getting QBs drafted as something other than QB.

Meanwhile there's Tarvaris Jackson, who had a long career as a QB in the league...after we basically refused to play him as QB.

We are dumb.

There are several hallmarks of the Pittman era and that's one of them.

- taking the foot off the gas too early in games
- inability to win close games
- playing the wrong player (over a more talented one)
- overlooking "lesser" opponents
- inability to keep a team focused after a win
- loyalty to bad coaches like Fountain
- committing a shitload of penalties and turnovers

I don't know where we are with the redshirt shit...I think Singleton already had a redshirt so that dog don't hunt for him but there were several others that probably didn't get run because they are playing games and need them bodies for the Mizzou game during scrub time which should start around mid-way thru the 2nd quarter.

Every coach in his similar situation (Billy Napier anyone until recently? Brian Kelly? Any coach on the hot seat ever) will have similar talk. It's completely unrealistic to tell the fans to "don't talk about this." It's basically like telling them not to breathe.

A bowl is about as good as any optimistic fan thought we would do at the beginning of the season.

Technically we can't.  Because we were eligible and going to the Texas Bowl until TCU pulled out.

Even if we deny that reality we're still not firing him anytime soon.

At least not for 2 more years.  Because that's the program we have and that's all they require.

I'm 45 and this is the truth. They should acknowledge that and just focus on basketball and baseball. Keep getting what they pay for in football. They might as well have a gun and ski mask asking fans for even more money.

I'm not a Pittman guy but I don't it's gonna improve anything. We've begged to fire every coach we've had in < 5 years sans Petrino. We fire Pittman and hire some mediocre coach and we are having this same discussion in a couple years. That's why I don't care really one way or the other.

I do think we will likely downgrade coordinators. Fire Pittman and you can close the book on Petrino. I think Petrino is still a great OC if he has talent to work with. Poke fun at Williams but our defense is the nest it's been in years.

I'm with red death. I've come to accept who we are.

This is the spiral we are in. Our idiot AD fought NIL and just got Edge started a couple years ago, which is in and of itself a fireable offense. 

Imagine being that shortsighted on the single most important issue in college sports.  I cannot express enough contempt for that sorry mother fucker.

As for the gun and ski mask and getting money out of me they can go fuck right off.  Fuck right off. 

Sam works just hard enough to hit the metrics that stupid AD set and that's why the hugs and kisses after we beat Tennessee.  It's indeed amazing what we COULD accomplish if he worked, or another coach who busted his ass.  We literally had players this year before UAB that had no idea about that team during press conferences because we did not prep at all.  Just rolled out there lazily.  That will continue.

So the money will not come in from the fans who have higher aspirations.  So we're stuck and in a horrible self fulfilling prophecy with no way out. And the program will still be 4-8 to 8-4 on a good year, like it has been for most of the last 35 years.

Same.

Hunter can GTFO. He's responsible for this mess, both with the cycle of mediocrity we're currently in as well as our half-hearted to nonexistent commitment to NIL.

An AD has 2 jobs — hire good coaches and raise money. Hunter fails at both of them.

This is exactly where I'm at. Sam isn't the answer but the next guy we get won't be either. Lashlee would suck here, or he'll follow in the footsteps of Gus and go to Auburn and beat us by a bajillion points every year.


I would rather Petrino get more established and see what he can do. I hope he's able to make the decision to move on from Green, though. I know our offensive line is abysmal, but he has regressed as the year has gone on. He is not a good QB, and I can't see him being what we need in year 2 or 3. For every Matt Jones wow play he gives us, he follows it up with Cole Kelly against SDSU.

Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Nov 23, 2024, 08:01 PMEvery coach in his similar situation (Billy Napier anyone until recently? Brian Kelly? Any coach on the hot seat ever) will have similar talk. It's completely unrealistic to tell the fans to "don't talk about this." It's basically like telling them not to breathe.

As often happens, when you go to the source material it's a little different than you thought it was. I listened to the press conference and he wasn't actually criticizing the fans, he was criticizing the media for repeatedly "putting it out there." He was also expressing a boss's concern about "everyone in that building", whether they would keep their jobs or not, having been through it several times as an assistant. That's actually a valid concern.

Not that big a difference, really. When coaches start getting defensive about their jobs, it's never a good look.

It all depends on who you hire.  Out of all the people we've hired since Petrino, the only one who wasn't a WTF hire to everyone paying attention was Bielema.  And even Bert was a bad hire due to his style of football which didn't fit the kind of players we can get versus who we play. 

Anyone should have been able to see Morris was a bad fit.  And Pitt may have been the best we could get off of 0-16, but he was intended to be a stopgap anyway. 

The next guy may be equal to or worse than Pittman.  If so, what have we lost?   You can't go a lot lower than 12th-13th anyway. 

That said, he's not going anywhere unless he decides to retire and recover that hip with a negotiated buyout that doesn't require him to seek employment to offset it. We just have to hope for the best and expect something far less I guess.

It is certainly reasonable to question the coaching decisions in the game.  But I don't think the man is stupid-- he is thinking about all those things. I'll bet he knows what Petrino is thinking.  Twill, who started off hot, and in my view finished a little cooler, is much younger so it is quite reasonable to believe he will get other offers.

Pittman is obviously thinking about his personnel.  That is why he has positioned Kutas and Miguel Mitchell to use this as a redshirt year.  I think he probably knows whether Green is coming back.

Who has come calling for Petrino since he was let go at Louisville? I doubt he was at Missouri State because he really loved Springfield, but maybe I'm wrong. He's old and has a shit ton of baggage, and I think it's safe to say his system definitely thrives with guys he develops, not one year guys who are gonna transfer out.

As far as T-Will, he might get a shot somewhere, but I think the shine has worn off of him. The shine he got from the TN game has worn off with as bad as their offense has looked this season. Ole Miss could have scored 100 on us, and a bad Florida team held them to 17 points. Is he really that irreplaceable?

I was responding to a post celebrating another season of the coordinators to seat their games.  Personally I think Petrino's offense is too complex for a transient roster, and TWill didn't make adjustments to counter film study of early success.  The current game needs coaches who understand how to manage constant change and cycling new players.  Sam won't play bench to develop anyone he'll have the time he doesn't know who's playing.

I don't think Petrino cares to be a HC again either.

Prior to NIL coaching was a major factor in getting better talent. The elite coaches are mostly successful because they have been able to bring in better players. Saban, as successful as he was, was great because of talent. When he was in the NFL he was a mediocre coach. Why? Because he didn't have a talent advantage. Does anyone think Debo is a football genius? Hell no, he brought in elite talent.

I remember an interview with Saban years ago and he talked about when he was hired at Bama. The AD made a comment that they just hired the best coach in college football. Saban pulled him aside and said "You didn't hire the best coach in college football. You hired the best recruiter in college football"

NIL changes the playing field for getting talent. It allows schools like us to gain an advantage. To get lids today money > history > location, etc. Bringing in better talent can make a good coach look great.

My point is Pittman (in my opinion) isn't making decisions to cost us games. Is he perfect? Hell no. However, I would argue coordinators have as much, if not more, inpact on games and I think we have 2 good one's. Bringing in better players with the 2 coordinator's we have would make a big difference. Much bigger difference than switching coaches imo.

This year I'd agree his decisions haven't cost us.  Last year and the year before they cost us 4-5 games total.

I still think you're overstating the effect of marginal improvements in talent. 

You used the example of Saban.  Alabama recruited the same caliber of players since Bear Bryant was drinking whiskey on the sidelines.  Only Bear and Saban won at the highest level consistently.   The mediocre to bad coaches between them had a few good years mixed in with a lot of average or below seasons.  A moron can get lucky and win with a bunch of self motivated stars, but he's going to underachieve most of the time.

Give Saban and Sam the same level of talent and Saban is winning at least 8/10.   I want a guy who if his roster is outmanned is going to give you a chance, who will beat you most of the time if the talent is equal, and who will always win when he has a clear advantage.  Sam has succeeded at times with the first, but failed at the last two.

The problem is you're not replacing Pittman with Saban. You're replacing him with Odom and the like that likely come with the same coaching concerns Pittman has.

You can't tell me that putting money into OL and a better QB this year wouldn't yield the potential of better results than replacing Pittman with a realistic replacement.

You've always been a Petrino supporter. Do you think we should close that book? Do you think we likely get a better OC if Pittman is replaced? You're essentially saying if I give Petrino marginally better talent he can't so anything with more it (not Pittman). I don't believe that.

This is the closest we will ever get to having Petrino as our coach and we have the chance to buy the best players to let him run his offense. Yet we chose not to because we dont want to support Pittman.

I'm all for upgrading those positions since we are keeping Pittman. 

I don't think this is anywhere near the same Petrino we had thirteen years ago either.  But since we are keeping Pittman I would prefer to keep the staff intact for continuity's sake. That applies to both sides of the ball. 

Let's turn this around a bit.  Suppose retaining Pittman is preventing some from adding massively to our NIL fund.  If that is the case would you support moving on and trying the next guy who might have more funds available for talent acquisition?

Post by: animal on Nov 24, 2024, 05:03 PM
I've long said that I'm pretty ok with Pittman coming back for next season if it means we have some continuity with the OC and DC. Caveat to that being we needed to make a bowl game as the low bar for performance. I think it's a possibility Williams gets a better DC role somewhere and we won't match it. I'm not in love with the guy but we've had worse DCs.

I don't think people are going to flood money into NIL to support Pittman and his staff though. Arkansas has always been about selling the sizzle and there's no sizzle with this staff or team. What little juice Petrino brought upon his rehiring has pretty much faded. Other than Russell is there really even a player to get excited about? And we really only got to see a few flashes of him.

There's certainly been talk and efforts toward getting a lot of these guys to come back...ok cool but at some point you need to show that your "development" is paying off because I think we're on pace to have an experienced OL back next season but it's an experienced OL that is only good compared to last season...in reality they suck balls. They MUST improve greatly or they need to find some dudes. I feel like we need a better center at the very least and look at moving Nichols to guard. To me that keeps looking like one of the weak links whenever Blackstock isn't in the game.

Defense line is a bunch of slugs. We need pass rushers badly and need to develop of couple of the guys already on the team.

Here's an immediate concern I have with Pittman.  He's having surgery the week after the Missouri game.  Which means he will be out of pocket for one of the critical portal periods for starters.  And suppose one of our coordinators (likely Williams) gets interest from another school?   Getting the team ready for and coaching in the bowl game is a relatively minor problem - Petrino could handle that easily and even if he doesn't, BFD.  But I'd like our head coach to be available to recruit the portal, help finish off the high school class, and potentially handle any staff changes.

I would aupport it but it's a stupid mentality. Childish one would say.

How is Petrino not the same? I never understood that. Coaches don't forget how to coach. They're in the most competitive job market on the planet where failure gets you fired.

I don't think coaches change. I just think it's a difficult job and comes with varied success. That success is mostly dependent on the players you put on the field.

Quote from: Barton Fink on Nov 24, 2024, 05:18 PMI would aupport it but it's a stupid mentality. Childish one would say.

How is Petrino not the same? I never understood that. Coaches don't forget how to coach. They're in the most competitive job market on the planet where failure gets you fired.

I don't think coaches change. I just think it's a difficult job and comes with varied success. That success is mostly dependent on the players you put on the field.

It's definitely childish but it's reality.

People get tired of what they perceive as a stagnant program.   

A lot of what made BP an elite head coach, and why others couldn't replicate his success, was his intensity.  It's hard to maintain that once you're older and more comfortable.  Not impossible, but difficult once you've met most of your goals and proven yourself.

Quote from: The Whyte Boar on Nov 24, 2024, 05:06 PMExcept for our receivers and tight ends, do any of our players look like they developed over the year and are better now?  Do we as a team do things better in game 11 than we did in game two or three?  I don't see it.  Does anyone else?

Our OL is less ass. We have a new QB so you rule that out. I think you see more development on the defensive side.

With the portal, I think player development will provide minimal impact to all schools. Kids aren't player, they're gonna transfer.

100% agree.

I don't bwlieve fans really understand the landscape has changed. Yesteryear's a coaching change was the only way to improve your program. Now, there is a better option but fans don't think that way.

I wonder how much Sam is out courting the people who could move the needle in NIL.  The Tysons, Fletchers, Waltons, and HTLs of the world.  Kiffin met with their key boosters a little over a year ago and told them point blank to give to NIL rather than facilities upgrades.  Sam has a better personality for dealing with people than Lane, so I would think he could make a difference if he's actively soliciting.

That's just it. Sam should be KILLING it with more people  with money. He's clearly not working at it enough because he has the personality.

Yeah.  I don't know of anyone who's met Sam and doesn't like him.  It should be a pretty easy sell, as long as he can give them a plan for how he intends to use their money.

I think the biggest problem with Pittman is that he's dimwitted and lazy.

He isn't demanding enough in practices and he isn't quick to react/respond in high pressure gametime situations.


He mostly just limps around, looking generally apathetic.


We're a ship without a captain.

re NIL/recruiting

players want to be paid, but they also want to be stars. Even if we had Tyson-level money, we could only, at best, draw even with other big programs, who additionally can offer what we can't: Higher expectations and standards of excellence.

We're hanging banners for winning six games.

We can't compete with teams who won six games three or four weeks ago, or even against perennial underachievers like Ole Miss/Texas A&M, who carry an aura of demanding more and more from their program.

Maybe, but most of you're coaching atvthis point in the season is coming from your OC/DC. No way Williams is lazy in practice and I don't see Petrino being lazy either.

according to biddy (i know) there's not just revenue sharing money coming, that nil is going to get a boost. that's supposedly is what pittman is talking about.

the focus will be on linemen on both sides of the ball instead of skill players.

There was an article talking about speculation Ole Miss is willing to go 3 million to get Arch Manning. I don't know why he would leave a Texas situation that will presumably be ready-made for a natty run. Money talks but he's a Manning so I don't anticipate he's jumping at money. Other speculation they'll have to over pay some highly regarded freshman and probably promise to start him.

This has become college football where you pay XYZ for someone you think can help you but don't really know until the bullets start to fly. We're seeing that right now with Davis on the basketball team.

We have to get a WR or two as well.

NIL is risky business. Lot of chatter it ruined our locker room last year with KJ.

Imagine the kid going to Michigan and getting $12M sitting next to a kid getting local deals. It's gotta be an interesting dynamic in locker rooms. Great idea for a documentary.

Btw, ain't no kid worth $12M a year.

The kid from Liberty-Eylau (Texarkana) that committed tonight is a WR, and supposedly a very good one.

The word in Austin is that he's making $4MM per year already. Highest paid player on the team and he doesn't start, but he will next year. He isn't going anywhere.

I could easily see Ewers coming back for another year.  They have obviously won a lot of games, but he hasn't done anything to look like a NFL QB. 

One would think that if Arch leaves OM would be the favorite.  At some point the kid has to actually play if he wants to make it to the NFL, doesn't he?

That 4th and 5 with DJ's film break down was pretty brutal to the QB.

Dude flat out missed even looking at the TE on that Cowboy Get it play or whatever it's called.

Also didn't audible out of a 7 man front on a run call and you can see the RB saying WTF.

Didn't see the whole breakdown but I imagine there were more nuggets. Green isn't exactly overly bright.

maybe a little too early to talk about it, but i'm not so sure singleton portals like a lot of folks think.

green got his year of starting but i think he'll be on a pretty short leash going into spring ball. not sure how much more of the mental fuckups petrino will put up with. can't coach smarts.
