Alright, let's get this over with. At least show some improvement and coach and play like you actually give give a fuck how embarrassing you have been.
Nothing like getting laughed at by the college football world week after week.
We're gonna get rocky topped while our fans sit in the corner chair and watch.
Wonder what the O/U is on sacks given up. I'm guessing TN gets 8.
For you sadomasochists, 3:15 on the sec network. Coming to your live from razorback stadium.
I'll watch for a minute. At some point Ill get disgusted and watch something else.
I picked a fight in a dayroom in Okinawa when a guy tried to change the channel on the 1971 Texass game. I was in section Q during the Big Shootout. I watched the two Orange Bowl games vs Switzer from the stands. I'm reduced to this. It is sad.

Actually I just scanned the posts and really thought this said "sonsofsamiches"
I'm so apathetic I can't even read correctly.
This feels like a trap game for us. I think we'll come in distracted. :stache:

Sadly, today's lineup at that time is:
Vancouver @ NJ 3:30 EST
Edmonton @ San Jose 4:00 EST
So I think I'll watch the replay of Pitt @ CBJ from last night. Then Minn @ FL 6pm. Not gonna lie... kinda mad that Toronto @ CO is only on NHL Net tonight.
I predict we learn from this and have to get it fixed.
Oh, and one more week of having to wait for them to bring what they did in practice to the game.
No one is more disappointed than the guys in that locker room.

A nice drive ended by a sack fumble.

Huepel with his good deed of the day in not going for that fourth down.
We shot our wad on a drive that ended in a fumble.
The defense has done good. They'll keep it up for a half at least.
I'll take the yards, but NCAA is going to have to address the "throw it short and behind and wait for a flag" strategy
If that was a read option, our quarterback didn't do the right read. I think that's pretty common.
We have zero players that can break a tackle. Zero
We can't stop stepping on our own dick.
College players are generally awful at taking routes to the first down marker
Weak ass call

Apparently, our coaching staff doesn't know you can't substitute on defense on a hurry up offense, if the offense doesn't substitute first.
It's still halfway through the first year, but I continue to find ways to be amazed by this coaching staff.

On the bright side, we are facing an opposing backup quarterback who does not look like an All-American.
Yet.
Tennessee looks like they are resting everyone for Alabama
Why is every snap at our qb ankles?
Why do we run wide?
2nd and 14. Don't rush it, just let the quarter end.

He literally looks and talks like a grad assistant who won a contest to be head coach for a day.
Negative gravitas.
We have to lead the league in batted down passes.
They're gonna score on this drive.
Silverfield has to be the most non energetic head coach ever.

This is the worst SEC football team ever.
Kj could have run that
WTF was that
KJ leaves a clean pocket. Freaks out.
It's hard to decide which o lineman is the worst.
We are an offensive juggernaut
I am not sure our o line could move a blocking sled.
Some players take ballet lessons to improve their balance and footwork. KJ went to square dancing.
Our QB I think is the dumbest one we have ever played.
That includes the other KJ just to be clear.

If we were decent, we could have beaten Aggie and would have a shot today. Tenner isn't that great, defense might be good but who can tell vs our offense. Their QB looks average

Someone needs to ask Silverfield the press conference question, explain to me like I'm a retarded first grader. How does our offensive coordinator still have a job?

But somebody wrote a book that said you should spend your timeouts on defense because you can control the clock on offense... Oh, wait...
A good qb has to be able to make a play out of nothing once in a while. We do not have a good qb
I know nothing about Arkansas State this season and not going to go look but I'd bet they would put up a better fight than this bunch of fucking losers do.
I need to make a prop bet somewhere that Tenner will score before the half
At least we punted them out of FG range
We can't get a first down against prevent defense
That was a hideous example of clock management. Fuck dudes.
You know, if we're going to suck this bad on offense, would it kill us to at least get a decent punter? This guy stinks
Worst punter I've ever seen
We have a dual that QB that is slow and can't throw. A no threat QB.

Just needed some 'tussin.
Maybe this team's balls just dropped.
One thing that's been true over the past 14 years... we are allergic to momentum. We have it now.
No complaints, that was good play by their QB
It seems like we poked the bear.
What a whiff.
Fucking hold
And they missed the facemask grab too.
They're dropping passes like they're us now
Can't believe they aren't going for it
Things are going the Hogs way
And we got a break. This is actually uncomfortable.

I don't know what is going on, but either TN is really fucking bad or something has changed a little bit. I'll take it, either way.
That was an awful holding call.
Let's hold up our fingers and enjoy our Capri suns and orange slices
That seems like a major bullshit call.
That was offensive line play that happens on every play in a football game.
Complete and total bullshit.
I think we just turned back into a pumpkin.
Another batted down pass
I blame the apparent fog
Oh
When they talked about our 5 DL, 3 LBs, and 1-vs-1 everywhere else I knew that was about to happen
Well, it was fun having a lead.
Quote from: bigpig on Oct 10, 2026, 05:46 PMI think we just turned back into a pumpkin.
Yep
The play we refuse to call.
At least now we can bitch about the refs and not just our team
Not to belabor it, but this is how quickly a fucking horseshit call can completely change the game. They don't call that horrible holding call, we likely have a good drive and probably put points on the board. Instead, it is a quick drive and they get momentum.
Imagine if he fumbled on that leap, then we took it an ran it back 20 yards, then handed it off to another player who ran the last 80 yards for a TD.
That would never happen
Refs probably make us do this goal line thing for nine plays again
We tried. And that's what counts.
The kj leap!

I looked at them and said "the rest of the game doesn't really matter, we're going to lose now."
I've never been at a game like that where you just knew the game was over after one play when we still had the lead.

Why the we give up play call?
Disaster feels...HOLY SHIT, it is good.
That a kid!
4th quarter, down 3, 3rd and 13, smoke draw, they'll never see it coming!
I see the kicker shook off the last kick
We cant make the chip shot but we can make that?
Well I be dang

That was good from 65

This is horrible play calling.
KJ never runs when he could
Too conservative
What the actual hell!?
Really fucking did something with that momentum that the D gave us.
Cramsey loves him some smoke draw.
Lol really booing the offense when it's 17-17 in the drought we've been in. Cramsey deserves it all.
They are just daring us to throw.
Holy shit that play call again on third and long. At an extremely key time in the game.
Does kj get special care? Like for retards?
Another draw on third and ten?
Houston nutt called and wants his offense back.

Nah. I ain't biting. I'd be more surprised if they DO pull it out.
Of course
Damn it that was a grown man's stiffy (come on, stiff arm)
This is just some of the worst play calling we've had in awhile. If we lose, you can't point to these horrible 3rd and long calls. You just can't go 3 and out in that situation.
Aaaand, there it is.
Bed has been shat
Ridiculous.
Backed them to the five yard line and the first play goes for 60
Everyone just needs to accept it right now that we are not winning. We are not driving down the field successfully again, whether it be for a FG or TD. This is it.
We haven't had a stupid penalty in a while. So why not now?
So now they have eyes?
Now, you need to use your timeouts and the 2-minute warning to try to get the ball back down three with some time left. Let's see if the coaches know to do that.
3rd and long....and we always run. Is Nutt back on the sidelines?

Nope. They let it run down to the 2-minute warning without even calling a time out.
Fucking malpractice.

Our last two possessions running on third and long rather than trying to get a first...

just kidding that would be dumb
95 yard drive. SMH.
Probably the best option
I'm actually glad they scored there. Now we know what we need to do, and we can stop fucking around on defense wasting all the time.
No way we let them score
We'll run it on third and long this drive too.

We wont even get a first down
A couple of key penalties were the difference here. So coaching...
My God. We have reverted back to ourselves on first and second down. What horrible passes.
oooof
Punt???
So fitting.
Punting? This guy has no balls whatsoever.
Not pissing a drop.
It was a fun third quarter...
Looked straight to Marshall, saw three defenders, threw it anyway, and now we're punting with 1:45 to go.
The players gave an effort today that doesn't deserve he shitass coaching they've gotten.
Punting????
THAT'S why we saved all 3 time outs.
The strategery is unparalelelelellled.
Sorry to those of you who took the bait.
RS piss is not hot
We lost this when we ran twice on 3rd and long.
Arkansas is so predictable. As a long time sufferor I know that if we ever take a lead in a big game...there's good odds something will happen and our manic boys will fold like cheap lawn chairs.
So we're doing all of this circus to maybe get a shot at a Hail Mary rather than just needing a first down with three time outs.
There's no coming back from this.
Whatever goodwill was earned in the third quarter was thrown away by punting in the 2 minute drive. Sends a message that the coach just quit. Fans will never forgive a quitter.
Not that I think we would've made it on 4th but you got to try.
Camera really caught that guy saying "nope, let's go"
There was no way you were going to stop there offense. Punting was idiotic.
And there was 0.0000% chance we were going to hold Tennessee to a 3 and out.
How the HC doesn't know this is mysterious.
RS would've at least shown something promising by trying to win. Now the team played better and he looks like a pussy.

Me. I had seen it before, many times.
I was willing to give Silverfield the benefit of the doubt with him having to spend all his time fundraising, allegedly not getting everything he was promised, but that punt was inexcusable. The play calling on 3rd and long was inexcusable. This staff deserved every single one of those boos. I shouldn't even be pissed but I yet I am.

You're 2-3. You need a spark. These fans haven't seen a home win in two years.
You fucking punt with under two minutes left.
Silverturd is actually retarded.
We don't have the talent, but the players we do have showed up and give it everything they had.
We don't have the coaching either, and our head coach and offensive staff shat their own pants as well as each others' pants.
On the somewhat bright side, Texas lost.

Well put. Running on 3rd and long, more than once, and then not even trying to make the last possession a two-down territory for a conversion - it's like we're coaching to avoid being in high-pressure positions. You can't turn the thing around by always taking the safe route.
It sucks we lost but we looked like a competent football team for the first time so that is improvement. Build on that. We covered the spread. Build on that.
The play calling was proof they have no faith in the QB, and yet they keep trotting him out there
That third and long with about 4 minutes left I felt like was "4 down territory" but they ran twinkle toes on a smoke stall and that put the 4th down play into doubt. That play might have worked...back in 1990.
Best case scenario of that punt, barring a turnover, was a 3 and out, no timeouts, and worse field position. Not that I thought we'd convert the 4th and 10 but you gotta go there. Even worse was the play calls of the last drive.
We should have run a draw on that last 4th down play.
I am looking for Kevin Kelley's tweet about the punt as we speak.
The parallels to Chad Morris are too hard to ignore.
Remember the Colorado State game in his first year when he punted from the 50 to start the 4th qtr up 7 and we ended up losing?
Same type of vibe. Everyone knew right then he wasn't the guy. The fans knew and the team knew.

the key difference is the players now are paid to care and for many with additional eligibility it seems like it might be in your best interest to put something on tape that doesn't suck. So there's that.

There's no way he gets that kind of effort from the team the rest of the year. I'm still shocked at the coaching decisions on our last 2 drives. You don't come back from those kind of calls.

A 7 point lead with this team, no matter how well they seem to be playing, will never be enough. Our excuse for a coach goes conservative and shits himself. Stupid play calls. Stupid mistakes. He looks like he is just trying to get through this year with no intent to try and win.
That was a worse decision than the Chad CSU decision. I mean we were down and had to score. It conceded the game.

You're right. At least he's got balls.
You have to go out on your shield there.

Running on third and long twice in the fourth. Literally planning on punting.
Then punting under two minutes with three time outs hoping you get the ball back with no timeouts for a Hail Mary.
Do you think Silverfield realizes how many of his problems he almost fixed with that third quarter? Only to piss it all away in the fourth.
There is no hope left. I feel nothing. The only reason we are relevant in basketball is because chicken man is friends with one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time. Our BOT somehow pissed off Walmart and now we are eternally fucked. Congrats Arkansas, you Arkanasas'd yourself.
It was the most play not to lose coaching decision I've ever seen.
It was basically play not to win.
The most gutless and cowardly thing I've ever seen a Hog coach do
You know when you're a shitty golfer and most of the time you hit shanks and chunks and putts 3 feet past the hole but then you hit a 3-hole stretch of par-par-birdie and you piped a drive and chipped in from a bunker and you convince yourself THIS IS THE REAL ME and you are a good golfer if only you could play all the time like you did those three holes. YOU HAVE IT IN YOU.
That was our 3rd quarter. Which means we're stuck with Cramsey. Because that's the "real him" and his offense despite the evidence of the other 23 quarters this year, especially the 4th quarter and those two astonishing third and long runs.
RS was looking at it as not getting down by 2 scores. That's an extremely pessimistic way of looking at it. Our BEST chance to win was converting the 4th down and still having 3 TOs. We removed the best option to win the game.
Gold!

3rd and long run is fine if you got for it on 4th down. If you go 3rd and long run and punt you're just a fucking retard.
Just got back from the game. We sat on the 3rd row on the 40.
We have the players. We were knocking heads with Tennessee.
Our coach let us down.
Why in the FUCK do you punt with less than TWO MINUTES when it's 4th and mangable?!?!
It makes ZERO sense! All Tenner had to do was run out the clock after that. That's next level stupidity.
I was willing to give Silverfuck some time but today told me all I needed to know.
He is NOT our guy. I know we throw this phrase around a lot but he really is Chad.2.
I'm done.
It's been said, but in this era we gotta figure out a way to move on after this season. I'm not sure it would matter if our talent was markedly better.
Kentucky meanwhile is taking a fight to LSU. Another school with a first-year head coach outperforming us.

Definitely not with this OC. I still don't think the guy has a high ceiling in this league. I just don't see us firing him after this year with a $30M buyout.
I think he played to cover the spread for some reason.
Go for it. Don't get it. Greater chance of losing by 14 and the cover the 13.5.
Punt. They more than likely run out the clock instead. The gamblers are happy.

On to Nashville
My own view is this: yes, I am very disappointed that we lost. But also, damn, we played better than we have all year. I'm not at all sure we will do much better, but I am going to give them a chance.
They have to just figure out how to bring to the games what they bring to practice.
Quote from: BleedinRed on Oct 10, 2026, 11:43 PMThey have to just figure out how to bring to the games what they bring to practice.
Maybe bring the players from practice to the game but leave the coaches behind. It seems one of our biggest limitations is our coaches.
Braylon had ZERO carries in 4Q, how? Our coaches are idiots.
Taking out the center who I believe was noted last week as obviously giving away what we're going to do (he had a tell)...and then getting a lot better was rather telling. Even more telling is that they waited till the 3rd quarter to do it even though they knew the kid was doing it. I'm sure they worked with him in practice though.
Silverfield came here to paint.
Quote from: Thin Red Swine on Oct 10, 2026, 10:07 PMDon't worry. He'll get it fixed.
He definitely doesn't trust his offense to make plays. That was very telling in his explanation of why he made the decision to punt or run it on 3rd and long.

Watched it. Horrible effort. The fact that he has a C on his jersey says a lot about our coaching staff.
Silvercuck (this needs to stick) had a free pass at gaining respect from his team and the fan base. We weren't going to win anyway, so he had zero to lose by going for it on that fourth down. Instead he just gave up and punted.
The punt wasn't even the worst offensive play call. At least had a logic to it, stop them with three timeouts. Bad logic, but there's something to grab onto.
The two runs on 3rd and long, wrong time to run. Then you get the ball with 2 minutes left, all 3.timeouts, and you go incomplete pass incomplete pass incomplete pass. First or second down would have been the time to run.
Our offensive execution is only outweighed by our offensive playcalling. Both horrendous.

Don't forget bad decision-making by the quarterback.
On the last 3rd and 10, he had Lockwood wide ass open 5-6 yards right in front of him rather than trying to force it to Marshall. That easy toss would've made the 4th down much shorter.
And I guess maybe Silvercuck might've gone for it then.
Terrible o line coaching in every aspect combined with awful play. Kitler needs cut from the team, oline coach fired.
The team had better effort but the game wasn't dependent on the punt decision. I would have gone for it but had it failed folks would have been crushing him for that. The defense gave up some stupid long plays in run and pass and failed to get the stop.i would have gone for it but it was a hopeless situation either way.
This was the first sign of 1 step forward, 2 steps back and I understand we got called for a shady holding call and that's when the wheels fell off. So we're back to delicate egos and all that shit. I don't want to use words strung together like "The talent is there" but I kinda think that's partly true at least in a "we can be competitive" sense. It's combination of coaches are retarded, not playing certain guys, players on the field need to play with better fundamentals, be mentally strong. This was a seven point game and if the QB understands the 2 minute offense we probably give ourselves a chance.
Before all that when we punted with about 4 or 5 minutes to play...that was not a terrible decision to punt. Defense at that point was playing reasonably well but showing signs of weakness. He puts our D back on the field and they rip us a big run right off the bat....pretty sure Boyer #44 wasn't in the game. So that pretty much sealed our fate. It's one of those things where if the d holds serve we probably win field position. Instead we let them go 95 yards and get a tuddy.
I'm not a huge Russel guy but the dude didn't touch the rock after he ran hard and scored or at least not much after that. What in the blue fuck are we doing? Maybe Smith is the "pass blocking back" by default....idk but it just seems like we should be playing Cam or Russell a lot more snaps...they look like some serviceable SEC backs.
As bad as we shit on Hootie I have high confidence right fucking now he'd be doing better with this group.
Of course HDN would be doing better. He was mediocre. We were tired of mediocre, we wanted to be good.
We would kill for mediocre now. Morris will probably remain the worst D1 head coach I've ever seen, but dang if Silverfield isn't trying to give him a run for his money.

Agreed. If we had a QB, we could've won 5-6 games. KJ is f'n terrible.
We made a terrible hire and are at a minimum stuck with him for another year. Compounded with the least talented roster in the SEC.

HY, the BOT, chuck and bo, all say we're going to have our shit sandwich and be happy to have it.
If we'd gone and failed on that 4th down what we'd all be shitting on Silvercuck for would be that 3rd down call that made it clear "two plays to get the first down" never entered their minds.
If he's a CEO type that lets the coordinators coordinate, he still has to know in that situation that we're going for it and he has to tell the OC that at the start of the drive.
We got a younger less fat Pittman.

Agree. We all knew there was a low chance of us winning with either decision, but your best chance to win was converting the 4th down with all 3 TOs. We have a glass half empty coach.

On the bright side, maybe he is already feeling the heat and/or actually has reason to feel it. That was a scared decision, not a decision from a guy in his first year with nothing to lose.
Go for it and win or lose you could make the narrative about improvement and all that. But he froze and made the one decision that could defeat that narrative.
The punt decision was beyond horrible
Read the room Ryan
Your defense just gave up a 5 play 94 yard drive allowing them to take the lead and all the momentum.
Even if you go for it on fourth down and don't make it you are still going to have to get a stop, have all the timeouts, plus field position doesn't matter for them as they are only trying to get a first down, scoring is not the objective but 10 yards is. Nothing changes by going for it but the field position which again is meaningless.
Anyone who thought punt was the play obviously didn't watch the previous Tennessee drive.
Granted he has lost a lot of the fan base with his choice, I wonder how much of the locker room he lost as well.
Kelly was right. Best case is we force a three and out and then get the ball back at the same spot on the field only with less time and no timeouts.
I need an actual honest practice report because I'm getting the vibe that we do shit like we did in the Chad years and use practice to just walk through plays.

That is a shot fired by the Memphis AD
G5 teams normally look at their former coach who left to a P4 school like, "Yeah, we understand."
Memphis on the other hand is laughing at us.
Thinking back on the game, we really only had 1 good quarter. We were awful the first half. KJ was terrible. We ran the ball good in the 3rd, but that's it. RB distribution was a head scratcher. Again, coaching and play calling was suspect. We also benefited from awful QB play from TN. I think TN played down to our competition more than we played up to theirs.

Yesterday answered the question about whether it is just about Jimmies and Joes. TN didn't beat us just because of talent. We matched up with them pretty well. We got outcoached and out-executed, which is another extension of coaching.

Eh, we have a talent issue. Especially on offense. We may have 2 guys that could start for half the teams in the SEC. TN played a green QB who wasn't very good. We had 2 good drives all game. TN played down to us.
We have looked competitive in 1 quarter out of 12 in SEC games. Coaching may be the bigger issue but both exist.
We have a talent issue but we will always be of equal or lesser talent in our league. A coach who can't win with equal talent and snatch games from teams with better talent will never win here.

Let's look at our coaches in the SEC.
Crowe - 'nuff said
Ford - mediocre at his best. couldn't beat SMU
Nutt - great in 98. then sucked. then did less with more.
Petrino - winner. had to have his agent beg for an interview twice. we wanted jim grobe.
Johnelle - stupid. we should've looked for a coach then when we had momentum.
Bert - wanted to play Big10 football at arkansas. drunk and cried a lot
Morris - antichrist
Pittman - only person dumb enough to take the job. figurehead
Silverfield - a statue
Forgive me if I don't think hiring the right guy is gonna happen. For us it is literally like catching lightning in a bottle.
However, for the first time in our history in the SEC there is a real way to get better talent. Yet we have an AD that thinks it's gonna blow over. All while schools like OM and TT are overcoming historic talent disadvantages to become playoff contenders.
If things stay as they are, and we're looking for a for coach that can win AT LEAST 5-6 games every year (floor) with bottom of the league NIL, good luck with that. I don't see it happening. Someone (AD, etc.) has to change the course and find a way to give the coach a fighting chance.

Ford did lose to SMU a lot but he also got us competitive in the SEC, including winning the West in '95. Beat Alabama twice on the road, and they weren't on probation yet. Also recruited all the talent Nutt won with his first two years except for Cedric Cobbs.
He won more than 5 games once out of 5 years. He likely would have won in '98 like Nutt did but he laid an egg in '97.

You're right. Well technically he won 6 his first year but one was a Bama forfeit. So 5 on the field twice in five years. I'll still never understand what he saw in Pete Burks.

Correct. Firing/hiring coaches alone probably isn't gonna make much of a difference in the state we're in. Unless we get lucky.
Coaching matters, but talent moves the needle far more often. You could give RS Georgia's roster and win 9 games. Give our talent to Kirby, etc. and he would be lucky to get 6 wins. Flip coaches in the UGA a couple weeks agao and we still get our ass handed to us. I know we will never have UGA talent. My point is worst coach + best talent vs best coach with worst talent and the best talent will win out.
The SEC landscape has also changed. Prior to aTm and Mizz coming in we were far more competitive. Since their inception, that has been 2 more losses every year on our schedule. We lost USC as a common opponent because of it. Now we've added 2 more programs that are much better than us in TX and OU, and we've added an extra SEC game to the schedule. Winning in this conference today is harder than it has ever been for Arkansas.
Again, I hated the RS hire. HY has failed adapting to the new landscape in college athletics. Get rid of them both if we want, but there's a very good chance we are staring in the same mirror in a year or two.

I didn't know the spread but wondered about this. I don't think he's shaving but with our luck he used it as a measuring stick.
That punt was so bad. I mean if everything had worked perfectly we get the ball back with less than a minute and a half at least 80 yards away with no timeouts. Have to pass the ball on every down and can't throw to the middle. Just ridiculous.
But if we convert we have all our timeouts and pretty much have the entire playbook open. With our offense it's slim pickings either way but the choice is clear.
It is one of those decisions that only gets worse the more you look at it.

I vehemently disagree that RS would win 9 games with UGA roster. Nothing he has shown to date indicates that he would be above .500 with any roster in the SEC.
But that doesn't matter because even if we had a billion dollar NIL fund we wouldn't ever have a Georgia roster. Obviously we want as much money as possible, but giving it to someone like Silverfield would be flushing it down the toilet after wiping your ass with it.
Bielema was the kind of coach where adding that kind of talent would move the needle. Nutt was to a degree. Give either of those guys a significantly better roster and they would get some kind of results. Give them average and they finished .500ish. If we had a coach like that giving money would be a difference maker. Obviously if you have a BP-caliber coach giving more money can take you even further. Until we get a coach who can do something with the money given to him we're spinning our wheels and wasting future resources to throw more money at the problem. Unless you consider going from 2-10 to 4-8 worth the investment, which I don't.
Honestly if we had an extra $20MM per year in future marginal revenue we'd be better off to buy out Hunter, hire his replacement then repeat the process with the coaching position once a new AD was in place. Take one more year of being shitty to set up future success, then give the better coach that extra money in year two.
You're a lot more optimistic than I am on our leadership abilities and seem to be more complacent with losing. We will very likely hire the next Silverfield and Yuracheck. We keep repeating the same cycle with no results. But this time it will be different, right? We've moved from "wait till next year!" to "wait till the next hire!".
HY is so clueless now. It's really sad. Not only did he hire a reach, he hamstrung him. He cut both their throats by guaranteeing a guy almost no one had faith in was going to be bad his first year.
The formula now is to go big your first year and pull out all the stops to immediately turn over the roster and win in year one. That's how it's done. And I would say if you are forced to hire a reach, then you bend over backwards to get him more money so that he can get even better talent.
HY just does the exact opposite of whatever is the right move. He is just fucking awful.

We watch other teams make good hires and turn it around in a year. Kentucky for god sakes. We've got Silverfish meanwhile Georgia has the coach that tells his team after the game "fuck that shit we don't sit back and run it and punt it back to them we go win the fucking game."
KY hired Stoops (solid hire) and Stein (looks good now) in the last ~10 years. We've hired a fat drunk, a clown, an Oline coach with 0 experience, and another clown. Every coach we've hired has had at least 1 0-fer in conference, right? (since BP)

We've moved from "wait till next year!" to "wait till the next hire!".
We've hired nine permanent coaches since joining the SEC (counting Crowe who was already here when we moved). Two of those have had an acceptable level of success - Petrino and to a much lesser degree Nutt. So 23% of the time we've gotten it right.
Retaining Yurachek guarantees that we won't be able to test the percentages on your hypothesis. He's proven himself incapable of managing NIL or raising adequate funds for football.
Keeping Silverfield, regardless of how much player payroll you give him, is guaranteed failure. Just like keeping Pittman would have been, but arguably with even less chance of success.
I'll take the 23% chance we strike gold on the next coach over 0% chance that results from giving two retards a blank checkbook all day long.
As for who is complacent, I'd argue that doing the same thing we've been doing...employing incapable people and hoping they magically improve...is more of a give up strategy than resetting and trying again, even if the odds are low that the next group is any better.
It's like the AC unit in your house went out in the middle of summer, and you have no clue how to work on it. You can randomly ask guys walking down the street to help you fix it. Odds are they are just as lost as you are about it, but you may strike gold and find a capable AC tech. When he tells you what it takes to fix it you can buy the parts needed to get it working. Or you can just randomly order a bunch of parts, stack them on top of the unit, and hope that the machine fixes itself.

The solution to continually making bad hires isn't to stick with the last one and hope he morphs into a competent coach.
Getting rid of the person who made the last few hires is a good place to start.

Stoops wasn't great, but he was stable for 12 years there. I'm curious how much that actually helped Stein come in with fast success, compared to our "crash and burn and then hire an inexperienced coach to try putting out the fires with a bucket of gas" approach.
I hate RS. He's actually a downgrade from SP, but he's under contract with a $30M buyout. He ain't going anywhere soon. So we know for a couple more years his coaching isn't gonna get us more wins.
We've botched the last two AD hires as well. The one before that gave out golden handcuffs to a clown and ran off the ONLY coach that got us a national title in a major sport during the modern era. So yeah, let's bank on that being the solution.
Something has to change outside of playing musical chairs. Fuck it. I keep saying it. We are who we are.
I'll give RS credit...he's clearly going for that big buyout retirement option way sooner than I would have thought.

That's kinda the point I'm trying to make. There is no stability in our program. We have nothing to sell. Guys like Franklin won't even look in our direction when he's looking for a job. So what can change that narrative now? Cause the longer we wait, the worse that perception is gonna get.

On paper Bert was a far better hire than Stoops, but he didn't pan out here. Because we're Arkansas, there were wrong decisions to be made, those are our specialty, and so we didn't let him finish out the season before cutting him loose or encouraging him to find another job back up north... and then we hired fucking Chad over any of the guys that kicked his ass every time they played.
It sounds easy but my guess is we need to figure out what our identity is going to be and then go hire a coach to guide that ship for a minimum 4-5 years. Bobby Petrino in his prime was a Viper ACR who will get you where you wan to go in a hurry but might also overcorrect and slam you headfirst into a wall. We replaced him with a reliable but slow as shit late-80's F-250, and then that got boring so we traded it in for a rear-ended Pinto that was already on fire. Could have followed Bobby Prime with an offensive coach - we made the wrong choice and instead got one that acted offensively. Could have at least tried to follow that Bert/Enos offense up with a power running pro-spread look, instead we made the wrong choice again and got a guy who thought smaller offensive linemen were the secret of the future. And then we got a career OL coach, and to follow that up and show the fanbase we weren't sorry we hired another guy that was a career OL coach before he fell face first into the Memphis HC job.
We struggle to find coaches because no one knows what the fuck we want to be, so we keep trying to change identities like some kind of shapeshifting skinwalker every few years.

Bert was fired at the end of the Missouri game which was at the end of the season.

I was there in the rain. Picked up a classic razorback foam seat left in the north endzone. Saw Peoples walking across the field too.
I think some coaches are fed up with all the BS NIL has done to college football. So, they offer to come here and get paid without having to actually win. Then they retire into the sunset, laughing all the way to the bank.
Getting pulled into a room in the hallway and told to pack your bags is close enough.
But yes, Bert wasn't terrible on paper but was a complete 180 from Petrino. Which echos your point on identity.

Hindsight is 20/20 but we probably should have given Bert another year, provided he would do an offseason rehab program to get off the sauce and get rid of his OL coach Anderson. He definitely deserved to be fired, but again doing it at the same time as we were looking for an AD probably guaranteed us terrible hires in each position.
Which is why I agree that Silverfield will get at least another year and probably should in spite of earning the shame of being fired over the loudspeaker in the 4th quarter Saturday. No competent coach with options is taking a job where he doesn't know his boss. Unless the next AD has a competent coach ready to come with him you have to get rid of the more immediate problem which is the AD. The fundraising problem may not be solved with Hunter being fired, but it definitely isn't getting fixed if we keep him.

Fuck no. We shouldn't give Bert another year even if it was to reduce his buyout. He got lazy and it would have been as bad as it was under Morris.
I read on Twitter or Facebook that Long was let go when he was, was because Malazahn hated him and it was to entice him to be the coach. I am beginning to believe that and why Peoples rushed the field to let Bert know he was gone.

Boy it sure didn't sound like it in the Tyson interview. We have one of our largest boosters, who's a billionaire, encouraging anyone with $10M to donate to step forward.
Hell, if $25M only gets us 2 wins. Why not offer $0 next year and double up the second year.
I'm just going to keep telling myself what someone says to the public and what they actually think aren't always the same thing.

That was the play when I decided #5 doesn't get to have a name and he needs to change jersey numbers to anything else
What about #52? He couldn't even slow him down while holding.

The collective IQ on that play from the entire offense was sub 100.

I wasn't for keeping him at the time for sure.
Firing Long at essentially the same time was the biggest problem. Hopefully we never try that again.
This guy struck a chord with his little write up.

Quote from: DirkPiggler on Oct 12, 2026, 11:45 AMI vehemently disagree that RS would win 9 games with UGA roster. Nothing he has shown to date indicates that he would be above .500 with any roster in the SEC.
But that doesn't matter because even if we had a billion dollar NIL fund we wouldn't ever have a Georgia roster. Obviously we want as much money as possible, but giving it to someone like Silverfield would be flushing it down the toilet after wiping your ass with it.
Bielema was the kind of coach where adding that kind of talent would move the needle. Nutt was to a degree. Give either of those guys a significantly better roster and they would get some kind of results. Give them average and they finished .500ish. If we had a coach like that giving money would be a difference maker. Obviously if you have a BP-caliber coach giving more money can take you even further. Until we get a coach who can do something with the money given to him we're spinning our wheels and wasting future resources to throw more money at the problem. Unless you consider going from 2-10 to 4-8 worth the investment, which I don't.
Honestly if we had an extra $20MM per year in future marginal revenue we'd be better off to buy out Hunter, hire his replacement then repeat the process with the coaching position once a new AD was in place. Take one more year of being shitty to set up future success, then give the better coach that extra money in year two.
I agree 100% with these points. I'd add that in today's game, talent evaluation and roster construction are just as important if not more important than being a brilliant gameday X's and O's coach. It always bothers me when some of our fans (and for that matter our Athletics Director) make it seem like the only reason are roster is awful is because fans are not giving enough money. I might be in the minority, but I absolutely believe if you gave Curt Cignetti or for that matter Bob Chesney, Will Stein, Eric Morris, Morgan Scalley, or Willie Fritz the exact same amount of money that Silverfield got this year, they could assemble a roster that could win 6-7 games. In fact, to drive home the point of how important roster construction is, I give you the most expensive football roster in the world today- Your Dallas Cowboys.
Before I heard about the punt, I was willing to cut him some slack. Replacing 80 of 85 players would be tough if you were a good coach, which he's not.
Silverpunt keeps doubling down on his decision and he is just making it worse.
He would have gone for it on 4th and 8 but an additional 2 yards is a bridge too far.

I will forever believe that Malzahn was coming here until Auburn won the Georgia game.
If they lose that game, they're 8-3 going into the Iron Bowl (the outcome of which would have been meaningless in terms of the SEC West), and they probably wind up 8-4.
But they beat Georgia, and then roll into the Bama game controlling their own destiny, and by that point he was too good for our job.

Don't put that kind of hate on us. We've got it bad enough as it is.
Stat nerds chimed in..
3rd quarter runs
I think it was something like 5 off tackle, 4 leads...for 84yards and a td
4th quarter we completely abandoned both the runners and the run plays to the tun of 19 yards
That's some fine coaching.
