The NEXT Coach

[Feral]

I'd prefer Mullen over Gus or Gus lite.

At least Mullen and Gus would bring a hate boner for an opposing SEC team.

I'm tired of being at least one SEC coach's personal vendetta. Let's flip the script for a change.

That said, I don't want either.

[Barton Fink]

I'd like better as well.

[Pig Benis]

This. 

Lashlee plus significant NIL from the Jones family could move the needle. 

Correct. He's nowhere near the top of my list but if he secures major NIL money then he's the only choice. I think Bobby would coach circles around him with the same NIL budget. So would Gundy. And yes, I would prefer someone younger than either of them but I don't think Lashlee is on their level.

[jethro]

Right now, I kinda like Golesh.

[buff2.0]

Right now, I kinda like Golesh.

I like that Florida would hate us hiring him

[Guardrail]

It's time. Come home.

[Too Big Pig]

It's time. Come home.

Thank you for my first laugh of the day. This is why I pay my woopig dues.

Lashlee has the support of one of the biggest Hogs supporters. Industry sources told The Athletic this weekend that Jerry Jones — as in the Dallas Cowboys owner and former Razorbacks offensive lineman — and his family are squarely behind getting Lashlee to Arkansas. The 42-year-old Arkansas native, a former Razorbacks quarterback, is 31-14 at SMU and led the Mustangs to the College Football Playoff last season.

If Jones is so high on Lashlee, why hasn't he been offered a spot on the Cowboys' staff?  Or has he?  Agree with Son of Spam...Jones needs to stay out of it.  He's been on record saying he's not giving to NIL at Arkansas.


I know no one asked and it probably means little to nothing to the vast majority, but I've been on the field with all of the following (of the names listed in this thread so far) and I would choose GJ Kinne based on my interactions with them.  I think some of them would be fine, but I think a young, up-and-comer trying to prove himself is what is needed right now.  Kinne fits that bill. 

Petrino, Lashlee , Malzahn, Nutt, Saban, Mullen, Sumerall, Pitbull, Briles, Kinne

thanks.  i always like your input.  winning 8 games at texas state in back to back seasons is a fanfuckingtastic job, especially considering they just moved up from fcs to wac to sunbelt between 2011 and 2013.  that place has always been a perennial door mat.  they won more than 7 games once back in the fcs southland conference.  before that you have to go back to when they were d-2 in the early 80's

The first time I went down there, I couldn't understand why they weren't any good.  They have pretty good facilities and are right in the middle of Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.  They should be getting a ton of players who just didn't quite make it at Texas, A&M, TCU, Baylor, etc.  With NIL, that has changed some, but I think they should still be able to pick up some of those.  I'm not sure if Kinne has done that or not, but he's doing something right to turn the program around.

Refresh my memory...which one is Mr Worldwide?

[Usafhawg]

Refresh my memory...which one is Mr Worldwide?

It was my attempt at humor:

Nicknames for the rapper Pitbull include his stage names Mr. 305 and Mr. Worldwide, as well as his earlier name Lil' Chico.

Pitbull, I believe.

Sorry, that one went right over my head.    I remember him from Vandy.

Thanks for this. I think it's valuable.

Maybe there's a chance to have our cake and eat it too.

Let Petrino re-stabilize things for a bit and then someone like Kinne might still be available in a few years. If Petrino turns back into BMFP, then maybe we miss out on Kinne but it would be worth it if we get high end results.

I just hope that, when this Bobby Petrino era does come to its end, we learn our lessons (we won't, because Arkansas) and don't try to replace him with a coach who is complete opposites in worth ethic and practice and game style.

You know damn well we'll move on from Petrino and hire a coach who runs the service academy Flexbone.

If you are looking for a realistic "big name" that would take this job...his name is Bobby Motherfuckin Petrino. He deserves it really. 

Mullen: I'm not a huge fan but if we're measuring success over the long haul...this is a guy that was 20+ games above .500 at MSU and his record at Florida really wasn't terrible it just wasn't measuring up to their standards. He's 53 years old and still has a lot of years left in coaching if he wants them. Knows the SEC well enough to probably get another opportunity here. We could do much worse. 

There may be other names pop up (Joey McGuire?) but those two make the most sense in terms of "experience". 

Lashlee I think will probably coach his way out of getting the opportunity. He's 2-2 right now in what has been a let down season thus far. 

I'm hoping the Gus faction just pounds sand.

If we got young these names below will likely be the ones considered. 
No particular order.

Sumrall, Kinne, Morris, Golesh,
