The NEXT Coach

[piglosopher]

Weirdest stat of the day is Golesh being 0-3 vs Silverfield.

I thought we'd take Kane Womack over him and thought he definitely wouldn't say no.  Perplexed.

Football program is sinking deeper into quicksand

Silverfish inherited a way better situation at Memphis after norvell than golesh did at USF.

[Feral]

Hunter panicked.

Failed on getting the first two or three (Franklin, Golesh, Sumrall, Wommack, etc...)

The Kiffin saga dragged on and on. It became obvious Mississippi would be looking for a coach and Golesh, Sumrall, Wommack, Durkin, et al, would be battling for Mississippi, Florida, and Auburn positions, Hunter panicked.

Silverfield is Hunter's panick hire. Silverfield was not being looked at by Mississippi, FLorida, or Auburn and knew he couldn't compete with those schools for Golesh, Sumrall, Wommack, or Durkin.

Whose fault is it that Arkansas can't compete? Yurachek. While watching every other school do circles around our program by raking in money to purchase players and coaches, Yurachek was talking about #integrity and how Arkansas football wasn't in a position to compete for a national championship. And the reason is Yurachek.

This is Yurachek's MO in coaching searches, and it played out with both the Pittman and Silverfield hires.

Zero in on a candidate, fuck around and lose him to a rival SEC school, and then panic and make a random hire.

Silverfield is NOT the guy I wanted and I think the Memphis fanbase being glad he's gone is quite bothersome BUT...

If Memphis thinks they are better than this record I think they may be due for a bit of a reality check

not defending the hire but hell, WE would kill for seen years of that record.

Yes we would-in the SEC. That conference has a slash mark in it.

[Thin Red Swine]

But if all things are equal, i.e., level of competition, then there has to be some value.

[Piggyback06]

Hard to rebuild when the decisions keep pushing us backward.

[Pumpkin Escobar]

I guess all the people who didn't want Golesh got their wish. Enjoy.

Sure it has some. I mean, if he had lost 4 or  more games in his tenure, Shirley he wouldn't be a candidate. There are probably a couple other coaches in the CAC/AC that had comparable records over a similar period. I guess they didn't win the ernie, menie.

We've heard ad nauseum, "who else are you gonna get?"

Well, this is the answer and it's not gonna change.

At least he's been competing for that conference near the top end. We've lost almost 80% of our conference games since the beginning of the Morris error and almost 75% since Petrino.

[Barton Fink]

Memphis didn't have bottom of the conference talent year in and year out. They had one of the better NILs in the American due to Fred Smith's donations.

[Thin Red Swine]

So, if he has players he can be successful. It's what we've needed all along.

The FedEx deal was announced in 2024, so basically one football season has been impacted, possibly two. He had success before that.

[Barton Fink]

I applaud your optimism.

Not sure where we are going to get the talent to compete. When BP had talent, he at least has a record of winning big in this league.

I mean, he beat us with lesser talent, and that was before our season was washed (we were 2–1 with a near win against Ole Miss) and our players started making business decisions.

I went back and rewatched that game this morning. I'd forgotten that we went up 28-10 right before halftime. Instead of laying down to have a good bleed, Memphis came out with their piss hot and scored a TD in less than a minute to cut it to 28-17 going into the half.

They came back out after halftime and went FG and TD to go up, and then scored a late TD that ultimately was the deciding score. 

They fought the hell out of us and never gave up. Comeback wins are reflective of coaching and culture on both sides. They had it, and we didn't.

They also lost to a UAB that was a 25pt dog after they had canned their coach.
