The NEXT Coach

[Thin Red Swine]

What hindsight? We never got to see KJ earlier to know what he'd do.

The results KJ put up against Texas is compelling evidence that the offensive success is WAY more about Petrino than Green.

The fact remains Green has made 75% of our turnovers and we lost several games due to turnovers.

Another thing that our fans get wrong is, "Yuracheck should've fired Sam after last year."

No, Sam should've been gone after 2023. 4-8 (1-7) and a failed OC hire should be enough to get your ass kicked to the curb for any serious SEC program.

Completely agree.

No other coach would be given that, even if they built up good will.

Did LSU give Orgeron any grace after that NC?

[Barton Fink]

Easy for us armchair QBs to say.

[DirkPiggler]

Amazes me that 40 points per game is looked down upon.  We have members that think we realistically should have averaged 50+ a game?   And because we didn't it means the coach is washed??  Is that really the position some are taking?

It's clear to me that Arkansas suffers from retarded fans as much as it does from a retarded administration. 

Correct all the way around.

I'd have been fine with firing him after 2022.  He took a team that should have won 9 or more and barely got bowl eligible.  That should have counted as his first down year towards the firing countdown at the very least.

The loss to liberty gave me serious doubts the rest of his tenure. Only took another 3 years.

[The Whyte Boar]

I knew he was done in 22.  That was a ten win team that barely got to a bowl.

I'm going to say something that probably will piss a lot of you off.  Been thinking about this for a while. 

95% of us sit around and bitch and say something like "Well the Waltons (or the Hunts, or the Tysons) need to step up and buy us a program (effectively). We aren't serious about football"-- like it is someone else's fault.

Look at Ole Miss.  According to what I read, they started a collective and hoped to get 10,000 members contributing $100 a month.  That's a million bucks a month.  They actually got 12,000 members. 

We can't get 1/3 of that number of contributors at $100 bucks a month. So when some of us say "we aren't serious about football", maybe we need to start by looking in the mirror.

Where were they before they hired Kiffin?  You know, the guy our AD got butthurt about when he asked for another $500k.  If we had hired Kiffin, we'd be where Ole Miss is today.

That's right, blame it on someone else.

Didn't Alabama become the fastest growing college after Saban started winning everything there?  Students want to be part of those environments.

[Thin Red Swine]

Yeah, there's no chicken-and-egg quandary there. We've had too many head-scratchers to get excited and open the wallets.

kiffin lost five of his last six and finished 8-5. then went to the fans and got the collective going enough to buy an 11 win team the very next season. in what scenario does that happen at arkansas?

[obijuana]

Most of us have child support for 3 different baby momma's, are behind on our double wide payment, and the judge won't take off this GD ankle monitor until the fine is paid off.

We broke as a joke, bro.

[The Whyte Boar]

That's right, blame it on someone else.

It is the fault of our leadership.  Jeez, do you even pay attention?  Kiffin wins.  Second he works the fans AND the donors for NIL collections.  Meanwhile our AD fought against NIL and badmouthed every chance be could.

Go ahead, try to donate to an Arkansas NIL collective today.  You can't.  There isn't one.  We're the only team in a Power Five conference right now where there isn't a collective for an average fan to donate.

[Show-Me Hog]

Easy for us armchair QBs to say.

That's why they pay me the big bucks.

Wait they don't. Having all the answers on here is my only outlet.

Yes, the 2023 one is a no brainer.

What I'm saying he also should have been fired after last year as well, which would have worked out nicely in terms of quite literally no one else hiring at that point in time.

But Yurachek let the national media narrative following the Tennessee win about how Pittman had saved his job dictate his inaction.

Not to mention the fact that we don't have any idea what Sam could have done with an extra 12 million to spend on players. 

I know y'all will diss that statement.  But it is true.

I know a job opening that pays pretty well

I don't know.  Maybe in the same scenario where a coach actually asked the fans to contribute instead of merely saying stupid shit like "blue light special athletes".  Maybe in a scenario where an AD embraced NIL and told the public this was the chance for Arkansas to compete against anyone instead of pissing and moaning about it and fighting against it at every level.  Oh, and putting together a functioning collective for fans to donate if they were so inclined.
