Kiffin is coming to Fayetteville, Arkansas.

I said questioning decisions is expected but I trust a guy that has proven me more right than wrong. When you're job is on the line, you're gonna not take many risks on winning. I think KJ will be a very good QB but I think the difference between him and TG is significant today. Maybe Petrino's peril is he expects perfection. Both QBs are perfect, TG wins in a landslide but that hasn't been the case with TG.

Point - All these other schools that have great offenses are putting up points without Bobby as their OC. If he doesnt stick around as either HC or OC, it's not a guarantee that our offense will fall off a cliff.

Counterpoint - Arkansas, traditionally, struggles to field consistently good defenses, forcing us to rely on better than average offenses. The few times in our SEC history where we were a legit good-to-great football team happened becuase we had great offenses and good enough defenses.

Having an OC like Bobby ensures we will have an offense that can put up points over and over again. Can we find another OC (or HC with an offensive background) who can do as well for us offensively, in light of our defensive handicap? That's the real challenge.

We tend to hire offensive minded HCs with that handicap in mind. I'd like to see us hire a defensive minded head coach and task him with improving our more natural deficiency, while leaving the offense to a great playcaller (of which there are many).

My first post on Green after the UAPB game was about how he didn't seem to be able to throw across the middle. That never changed.

I think NIL had something to do with staying with him so long.

I know I'm excited to watch the next Kendal Briles led offense.

Not long ago we had rumblings of TWill replacing Pittman.

I'm a little surprised Briles hasn't moved up into HC gig. This may be the year with some good G5 jobs coming open.

We are #2 in scoring in SEC play, which means against SEC defenses NOT Arkansas. Some of the other teams got to play against Arkansas' defense which fluffed their numbers as well...

Do you think we have the second most TALENTED offense or amount of talent on offense?  If not, what would you attribute our ability to put so many points, and yes POINTS, not yards or whatever else idiots on here like to try to use to complain about, but POINTS, which are what matters, on the board against SEC schools?  Could it be the offensive coach?

yeah we're getting Wommack
Things of that nature

To be clear, I want Bobby to get the gig.

Of all the non-big names out there (Golesh is one of those) Wommack is the one I would prefer.

I'm almost there. He wants the job and grew up here. Golesh clearly has others ahead of us.

One of the many reasons Yurachek needs to be fired is the fact that we could have (and should have) fired Pittman after the Mizzou collapse last year, been the only program hiring, and thus avoided this shitshow of pecking orders and bidding wars. 

But no, in typical Arkansas fashion, we're a day late and a dollar short.

Always reactive, never proactive.

My only holdup with him is I don't want any remnants of the Houston Nutt years to ever return.  At least he has a 13-11 winning record as a Sun Belt HC.

If we are going to revisit any of the Nutt circus, I don't remember Dave Wommack ever being one of the clowns.  Heck, give me the 4-2-5 Swarm defense from Alabama and I'll find a way to be happy as long as we get an OC that doesn't call plays with wild gesticulations and/or retarded cards on the sidelines.

We've been saying this all year, and the longer the season goes the truer it becomes.

Quote from: Barton Fink on Nov 29, 2025, 09:10 AMSo you know who is the better QB right now better than Petrino? The guy that has coached QBs his entire professional career and watched these guys practice side by side day in and day out the last 2 years.

I've learned that people that are really good at what they do, you trust their judgement. I may question their decisions, but I'll trust their judgement.


We talkin 'bout practice? Not the game?

You know, the games, which are where 15 of our team's 20 turnovers have been committed by our starting quarterback.


Some guys shine brighter in games than in practice. Some don't.

The Lord wants you to put your foot on their balls and believe in it. 'Cuz that's what wins football games. Not jumping offsides like a bunch of wimps and faggots. I don't care what those pinkos over in Russia say. You want to be a loser? You go live in Russia. I'm a winner. I'm an American.
