Anybody actually listen to Neighbors?  I did.  He says this weekend was Petrino's last chance.  He says HY is out of the process completely.  He says boosters have come together and are willing to spend $9 to $12 million per year on a head coach with commensurate commitment elsewhere necessary to "blow it up" and send the message that Arkansas intends to be a player. 

Sounds good.  But I've been an Arkansas fan for too long to get much excited yet.  It will take that sort of commitment.  I guess, we'll see.

I can only imagine the success Petrino could have if that money were put to buying D linemen.

Good chance that he's full of shit.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

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.

Maybe it's just copium, but I have a hot take that the LSU job isn't as attractive as they think it is.

When they fired Miles, the best they could do was promote Orgeron.

They fired O less than 2 seasons removed from a natty.

They fired Kelly for losing 3 games in a season. I just don't know if coaches are going to clamoring to throw away their current situations to go coach a program where you'll get fired at the drop of a hat. If you're Kiffen, why are you leaving the comfort of Oxford for that bullshit?

Just look at DeBoer if you need a cautionary tale about leaving a good situation for a supposedly better one.

corndog fans would kick and scream but i can see them going after sumrall.

ole miss has south carolina, the citadel, and florida at home before finishing at starkville for the egg bowl. unless disaster happens, they are in the playoffs and with some crazy shit with a couple of teams ahead of them, could get a bye. good chance kiffin is coaching into at least the 2nd week of january. that's after the portal opens. who the hell is going to wait until then to hire a coach?

Quote from: vegashog on Oct 27, 2025, 08:40 AMonce he gets the roster squared, franklin will get you 9 wins a season with 10+ every few years.

don't think he'd come to arkansas but after the last 15 years, fans would be fools to turn their noses up at that.



4-22 against top 25 at Penn St. Big Game James.

No thanks.

Are people really wanting Franklin now and think that's a possibility?
Yep. I'm not trying to be a dick about it. It could have lived. It didn't. Not by my choice. -Elvis

Anybody who wants Eli drinkwitz to be hired after as snarky smarmy and shitty as he has been towards Arkansas, is a Kamala voter who likes to eat snickers upside down because he likes the way the ridges feel on his tongue.
Make-a-wish Pitbull? No.

I don't think anyone wants Drinkwitz.

I wonder how much fat ass Jimmy Sexton has rolled in this week?  How many of those former coaches were clients of his? Does he get a percentage of each coach's salary as their agent?  If so, what about the buyout? Jimmy ain't gonna let money fall through his fat greasy fingers.

I'm sure he has a list of what client coaches he wants to go where. We've got Yuracheck as one of his AD-clients, I think.

What did we do to piss him off?

Someone brought up Jimmy Sexton on the Paul Finebaum Show the other day. Sexton even has Paul Finebaum as a client. Even Finebaum said the Jimmy Sexton set-up was gross. Sexton gets to deal with a client AD to discuss the hiring of a client coach. Who benefits from all of this? 

Fat ass Jimmy Sexton.

I can't fault Sexton. Sure he's a slime ball lawyer, but he offers a service and he's very good at it. Can't fault the coaches for retaining his services. He's going to get them the best deal. Athletic directors are the dumb asses in this equation. All it's going to take is a couple of them saying no. We missed a golden opportunity with Sam. It's the only way this is ever going to come in line. Coaches can not continued to be incentivized to fail. It needs to be the other way around. Pay them for wins.

Just go get Paul Simmons at Harding in Searcy.  He's averaging 11 wins over the past 7 seasons.

Just as risky as anyone else.  I like the thinking outside the box.

Yeah and we can run the triple option.

This begs an intriguing question. Which is the better business model for 2nd and 3rd tier D1 programs in today's collegiate football environment?

1. Hire a promising but relatively unknown HC and his staff on the cheap and throw the absolute bank at fielding  a team of the best athletes your money can buy.

2. Hire the best HC and staff you can afford and spend what you have left on a few highly talented difference makers in hopes that your coaches can get the best out of the rest of your athletes.

Hey, we ran the power I against Auburn and the fans loved it.  Why not sprinkle in the wishbone?

With Green that might work. The only decision he'd have to make is keep or pitch.

Idk. We cant hang on to the ball as it is. We'd just fumble on the exchange.

Hire the absolute best you can afford AND fund them to match and GROW the business with increased demand for your product.
