The NEXT Coach

[BASS]

But he is a proven winner according to Jerry Jones.

This is Arkansas.  If we don't hire Lashlee, he will go on to be another Arkansas guy that Arkansas passed on who went on to win multiple national championships at a place like Kentucky.  If Arkansas does hire him, he will go 0-8 in conference two out of the next three years, get fired, and be out of coaching for good by 2031.  And during that time BMFP will have some no name school in the playoff talks each year. 

This is the Razorbacks way

[BASS]

Why?

The only real similarity I see is that they would both be coming from SMU. 

Rhett has won there, fairly consistently while playing in a tougher conference.   Morris barely had one over .500 year, which only happened because the officials stole one game from Tulane at the end. 

PTSD

Because the only reason he's been a success at SMU is by being able to outbid the other schools for the players in that conference with that fat SMU NIL.  He might be able to outbid a few in the SEC but not many.  Plus he's only 2-2 this season.

That's not true though.   Their NIL is supposedly not any better than anyone else's.  Their boosters are having to come up with $45 million per year to run the athletic department for the first ten years.   The only way they could get into the ACC was to agree to take no media rights money for the first ten years.


Last year they won the ACC regular season with probably the 8th best roster.

In all fairness, the ACC was awful last year.

We're going to beat Tennessee and settle all this shit.

National media would have a fit.

I'm not saying he's a candidate (or should be), but Lunney Jr has a good offensive scheme at Illinois.

This right here.  SMU sold their soul to get in the ACC, which has a questionable life expectancy in that.  They still suffer from the same problem most private schools have: all their fans are alums.  TCU has done well because of Patterson to try being the school for Ft Worth but it's limited. It's upside down to so many schools like Arkansas where most of the fan base never went to school there. 

I think lashlee is a pretty good coach but I think he's comfortable in his current place and being in Dallas.  He should not be chased.  I like the Tulane coach much better as well as a few others.

While I prefer Sumrall and Golesh, I find the Chad comparison to Lashlee, laughable at best. If hiring Lashlee will greatly increase our NIL, then that would be a great hire.

I think folks just have Chad PTSD.

Likewise I'd prefer either of those, but as you said, if Lashlee brings in the NIL then he has to be the guy.

[Barton Fink]

If we offer Lashlee more NIL than other coaches, then our donors are dumber than I thought.

Why is that?

[DRYANKNPULL]

I'm not saying he's a candidate (or should be), but Lunney Jr has a good offensive scheme at Illinois.

If we are going to get somebody that loves the helmet, I'd just as soon it be him.

[Barton Fink]

For one. there are several better options. Two, support the program. You wanna hold out because we didn't hire youe favorite candidate, that's petty HS shit.

If the Springdale Mafia want to spend big money to get their precious boy back home, so be it. I just want to win, I don't care how the sausage is made.

Here's a little news flash for you guys. If you want to hire a good coach or even okish coach and make him want to leave a gig that he's probably going to win 10 games a year at...it's going to cost more than 6 million a year.

Me too. I'll pull for Lashlee and donate the same amount if he is hired. He's not my top choice.

Yep, why I said this hit will show how much we will commit to winning football games.

[bigpig]

I won't be excited for Lashley, but then again we haven't hired a football coach that had me excited on day one since Bobby.

If he hires top shelf coordinators and gets enough money to buys us, not just a few skill position guys, but great OL and DL, then I'll be excited.

But then again, I'll be excited anyway if we have good coordinators and enough NIL to compete in all phases of the game.

Screen door and what not.
