Quote from: FNG on Oct 27, 2025, 03:09 PMThis 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.
this is really what HY and others are gonna decide and I'm not sure which is best at this point. The idea of hiring Lashlee gives me PTSD from Chad. But he's young.

I would like to see us take a DC from the top defenses in the Power 4 conferences as a head coach.  Arkansas would be a lot better off if the baseline for the culture was that we will always play great defense.  Give them all the resources that they need to be successful.  We also need to stop imagining ourselves as a destination job.  Coaches that see us as a destination are looking to augment their retirement plans.  I would much prefer to have a coach that is trying to head somewhere; he'll be hungry, than a coach that feels like he's "home". 
Never squat with your spurs on!

He's sitting in the head coach's office right now. The best coach since Lou Holtz to walk the sideline at Arkansas and they're going to just send him packing, AGAIN. Unless they've found the next Saban then Bobby is the best option. PeriodT. 
I'm sorry Elvis......for all of it.

I sort of agree.  It won't hurt my feelings if he is hired.

Early on he was mentioned as a dark horse candidate.

I like this mind frame.

Quote from: Guardrail on Oct 27, 2025, 03:30 PMWith 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.

Green misses that read at least half the time now. You want to complicate it by making him add distance to the exchange?

Ain't that the truth. He'd get kilt or fumble.
The same people demanding everyone embrace your beliefs, have zero tolerance and condemn another for embracing theirs.  Oh, the irony.

Look at his Texas tech record. No thanks and that was with Mahomes.

FWIW, I've been told that Dillingham at ASU is "very much in play" for the Hogs but it could easily be BS.

His name has also been linked to the corndogs and Pedo State.

Isn't he an alumnus of ASU?  I'm not sure he would leave.   But if he would, he has ties to the Gus mafia and an SEC pedigree. 

We could end up with Dillingham as HC and Norvell as OC or....Gus. puke

I don't know whether you are right or wrong, but if he's that great, why haven't other programs been trying to hire him? 


Quote from: DrMongoose on Oct 27, 2025, 11:14 PMWorth a call, he wins

I had him in a game last year and was impressed.

Yep; area native, ASU grad, and he's been quoted as saying coaching there is his "lifelong dream".

Good news is, Fat Jimmy is not his agent.

Sounds like people talking to Gus and getting his recommendations again.  That worked so well the last time...

People simply cannot operate with common sense.  Dillingham is not leaving his alma mater for Arkansas.  Will he take a call?  Sure.  Are we trying to contact him?  Absolutely - make him say no.  Is he coming here?  Fuck no.


BASS

Hire a coach with a lopsided losing record against ranked teams to coach in the ever loaded sec. Bold strategy, Cotton, let's see how it plays out.

So they didn't get anything right about the last two football hires or the last two basketball hires, but now they're insiders again?

kiffin is 11-24 against ranked teams at ole miss. i guess none of you would want him as a coach. there's like 10 current p4 coaches with a winning record against ranked teams, none of whom are coming to arkansas.

those two guys don't know shit. if this search is anything like the other recent ones, it will nobody that's being talked about right now.
