Dowell Loggains and Barry Lunney Jr will have a fight to the death. Winner is forced to coach the Razorbacks. 
"I got fired for using free speech" yea imagine getting killed over it

Too many are directing their anger at Silverfield. He didn't do anything, at least he really wanted the job.

Be pissed at Yuraceck (especially), the BOT, the boosters, whoever.

Not Silverfield's fault our administration is inept. If he says no it could get even darker...

And Durkin was just an example.

But I guess we should just curl up in the corner.

I hope he doesnt read the twatters
The same people demanding everyone embrace your beliefs, have zero tolerance and condemn another for embracing theirs.  Oh, the irony.

This is how I feel. Who were our options? The dude took our job and wants to make us better. Who else does? I feel bad for his wife and kids who are going to have to listen to a lot of shit.

Same. As I said, I'll support whoever we hire. I just want to win football games. I'm skeptical, but I'll pull for the guy to win here. Got his work cut out for him.

You can't say he was just riding Novell's coattails. Won 10 and 11 after it was for sure his team.

...and honestly that means that much more in an era that everyone transfers every season anyway.

Transfers and NIL make roster churn so much faster.

some consolation but florida and auburn fans aren't exactly dancing in the streets over their hires.

Also should kill the hell out of this loser talk about "what about the kids"...what about them? They are all going into the portal regardless.

They had a really good QB (Hennigan) that started all of his 4 years. Impressive RS was able to keep him from getting poached by a bigger school.

I'll take a wait and see approach and like the guy based on the many interviews I've heard on sports talk over here. Not my 1st choice of course and not a splash hire but who knows.

Asst coach salary pool, his asst coach connections, and NIL will be the biggest factors in his success (as with any coach).

his staff choices could temper some of the angst. got a 4* oline re-commit the other day so maybe keeping mateos?

I'm more positive on this hire than most on here, but he could go a long way with our fans by hiring a good staff, starting with a stud DC. Land a guy like Durkin or Brent Pry and then everyone will fall in line.

I sure forgot about this guy. Fuck it $15k to the collective tomorrow.

Brey Cook effectively said the same. Hoping to see more of it.

Pretty sure Silverfield is taking a cut in NIL moving to Arkansas. Memphis is getting $5mil/yr from FedEx alone.

Yes, that was the sentiment behind my question.

Wasn't Brey Cook one of the ones telling HY what a great hire Sam Pittman was going to be for us?
"That's embarrassing.  Looks like Josh Duggar when his parents asked him to babysit."

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.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

Everybody got it wrong.
