Time to start the thread of the future.

What are we looking at?

Petrino - no interim tag
Gruden - wants SEC
Gundy -  hard pass
Lashlee - decent pick
Mal-a-zahn - divisive
Nutt - loves the helmet until he doesn't

My wife has a vote in for Kliff Kingsbury.

Hate to say it, but it will be underwhelming. Please prove me wrong.

Calapari & Saban are quite the pair of icons.

Saban with Bobby as OC.

More seriously, I hope we swing for the fences. We landed Cal.

Bret was a disaster but he had a great record at Wisconsin and we snatched him from there (as opposed to the unemployment line).

If Bobby finds the old spark for the rest of this season, I'm good giving him back the keys that never should have been taken from him.


I just want no part of the Gus family of coaches.

The way we do things, I figure when the next coach is announced, we will be going , "Who?"
Well, shit...

Give Petrino 3 years at the helm is my vote.

This right here.

There are actual fans online calling for... Gundy.  Yup, the guy so bad at Okie Lite that they canned him before we canned Pittman.  I don't know who the next HC should be, but should NOT be a wash out.  I also do NOT want any of the Gus bus in town.  I don't think Lunney Jr would go well here, either. 

I've seen several talking about Kinne, but I know nothing about him.

And the next coach needs to be young and not nearing retirement age. Fuck giving these old bastages retirement packages to do nothing.
Well, shit...

that's where I'm at. give a younger guy 4 years, a competitive salary a manageable buyout.

if he works out you got a guy that you pay to stick around, if not you don't have to hear all this we're broke shit.

I asked Grok what it thought our best options were.  It came back with:
1) Lashlee
2) Sumerall
3) Gus
4) Golesh

I asked specifically about Kinne and it put him as dark horse behind those 4 as options.

I'm just not that high on him. Living in the market where he is coach, he just doesn't inspire a ton of confidence in me to be able to handle this job on this scale. He reminds me of their Josh Pastner hire. Not that he hasn't done really well here, but it's not been too hard to win and has been paved a pretty good road of past success from previous coaches. Had he come in from outside and sustained the success, I might feel a little different. Idk. I could be wrong but just my gut.

I like Silverfield and feel like he's been mistreated as far as criticism in Memphis. He's won and I think with a different NIL budget and conference, he might be really good. He'd for sure be on my short list.

Memphis wants so badly to get into a power conference but nobody wants them and that's not happening anytime soon. Also motivation for Silverfield to leave.

Wasn't it Briles' offense that could go up and down the field ... but only between the 20s, and then get inside red zone and completely collapse? Rope a dope, too much movement and get like one yard Briles?
He can take that to okie state.
I can't so much as drink a damn glass of water around a midget or a piece of antique furniture.

Barton Fink

Yep. He did OC the Horn Frogs to national runner up. He'll get a HC at some point.

Okie lite would be a good spot for him.

I would like someone that needs to prove themselves for whom Arkansas isn't the dream job.  We've had too many that got here and relaxed.  Need someone that's hungry.

Winning all of our games besides the big ones would be a step in the right direction, but too many of our games are big on some level.
