The NEXT Coach

[obijuana]

Dabo Swinney would be poetic since Ken Hatfield bolted for Clemson without even visiting the campus.

I'd take Dabo in a heartbeat. My second realistic choice behind Bobby. Unless Saban has a fever for the helmet.

The way all these assholes are oohing and ahhing, it better be Saban.

Most of Dabo's current issues are due to hiring crappy assistants or to micromanaging them.  A new start might do him some good, but he's not going to get the same success he had at Clemson here at Arkansas.  He will stack the team with talent though, and once in awhile that might be all we need to at least be in contention for a CFP spot.

But I hate Dabo. His personality makes me puke.

Even though Cal was the enemy, at least I LIKED him before he came over here.

Little Bo and Chuck the cuck say Franklin was always a pipe dream so preparing people for disappointment.

He's got some Gomer Pyle tardation going on, but he's had a run at Clemson that's been beyond impressive up until recently. I always thought he'd be Saban's replacement but someone didn't like his goofy ass in Tuscaloosa.

The difference in the realistic candidates is negligible as far as I'm concerned. Arkansas is tough gig, no matter the coach. NIL is the great equalizer if our plethora of rich boosters wants to gift the university to purchase players. They just can't hire another Pittman or get conned by a used car salesman like the Chadster.

Every hire is the biggest hire in the history of the program. The PTB on the Hill have gotten it wrong for almost 15 years. It's time to make a good choice because none of us are getting younger.

So we probably never gave Petrino a serious look because we threw all our eggs in the James Franklin basket, and now we're being softened for the most underwhelming hire in this year's carousel.

If that's true wouldn't we still have plenty of time to give Petrino a serious look?

I thought we were all in agreement he had to win a couple of games to be given a serious look. He obviously hasn't done that.

It was never going to go any other way unless they hire Petrino. No one else wants to touch this job. We are lucky someone of his caliber wants it. Hire him and give him lots of NIl to buy good players and he will win big and and make the job attractive again.

Drake Lindsey and PJ Fleck looking pretty fucking mediocre against a good Oregon team.

We already look like that when we play bama, Georgia, etc.

You mean to say "pretty fucking qualified" right?

Like Dabo is looking qualified with his Clemson team against Louisville right now.  I'm not sure if I'm watching really good football or really bad football.  The Klubnik effect.

Jesus.

Disagree, I don't think Piggielicious is Jesus. Although Jesus would probably pick a handle like that.

He'll love it here.

I remember when everyone wanted Fleck. It was couple of years ago. He, apparently, was a flash in the pan. We will probably choose a flash in the pan. Someone who is doing good this year, but will fail miserably here.

Yup.  I was in that boat (pun intended).  I'd argue that the program would probably have been better with him than Sam.  However, he's not as good of a coach as I had thought at the time... like you said, flash in a pan.
