Razorback Football

They have not taken over my spot as of the 2022 season.  We'll see when 2023 rolls around.

I've only glanced over at the baseball one.  But I'm sure it's pretty lame too.

I went to a tailgate a friend participates in that was set up by this group before one of the 2021 games.  It was pretty good for someone who wanted a turn key, I don't want to do a fucking thing except show up experience.  The only issue we had was a shortage of ice, probably caused in large part by the fact that it was an 11am start and everyone was drinking bloody marys.

Pittman has killed it in the portal addressing needs.

I just hope he stays out of Enos's way and let him do what he needs to do to win.

Lasso Tits is a good recruiter, but not a good coach. Yes, I know this is just his 4th year, as a head coach, but he has a lot deficiencies, we can't afford.

Do tell us more.  Care to explain what those deficiencies are?

Winning games when his star QB is injured.

Winning games when his star QB fumbles on the 10 yd line and the opposing team returns it for a TD.

Winning games when his star FG kicker bounces the ball off the top of the upright.

Winning games when there is no "clear recovery".

Winning games against Alabama or Georgia.

All glaring deficiencies.

How about blowing leads going into the 4th quarter of a bowl game, to have to win in two OTs.

Knowing how the other team's defense is going to attack the offense before the game, and still not do anything to counter it.

Game time management.

Icing your own kicker, causing him to miss.

Lack of having a decsent back-up QB in case your star QB goes down.

If can prove to me that he is willing to win this year and build, then I will admit I am wrong, but I think he is going to hang it up after KJ leaves.

I feel all educated now.

Great spelling and quoting ability there.

That said, bowl game....YET IT WAS A WIN.  Freaky things happen. 

"Knowing how the other team's defense is going to attack the offense before the game, and still not do anything to counter it"

Yep.  You can throw this on the head coach because he's ultimately responsible for everything but a lot of this is on Kendall Briles.   Who I did like AND defend often....but this was a noticeable deficiency.  In both the OC and HC.

The next 2 are questionable.

On the backup QB, I'll agree with you.  Either develop the backups or get someone else from the portal. 

Right now, I'm willing to bet a LOT of these things look better in 2023 with Enos and T-Will at the helms of the offense and defense.

We'll wait for you to admit that you're wrong.

Please list ANY coach, or person for that matter, that isn't willing to win?

I will.

I should have worded it differently.

I don't think he will put in the time to build a winning program.

 His recruiting for this year and next look good, but I am not sure about his coaching. I just hope he will let Enos coach.

Good god, I'm all for healthy debate, but that is an idiotic statement.  The guy is a life-long grinder.  You think he's working half days or something?

 * Everyone had complaints about Briles - some more than others.  He's gone and replaced with someone who can gameplan and work with QB's on mechanics and nuances that Briles did not develop.
 * Worst pass defense in D1 - wholesale coaching changes and a house cleaning on the players' side.
 * Depth at the QB position we haven't seen in years
 * Bodies at DL like we haven't had in years
 * Many LB and DB's brought in through the portal.

I'd say Sam is acting like he wants to build something sustainable.

[Barton Fink]

When he was hired the criticism was that he has never even been a coordinator. Will he be able to handle HC duties? Considering his background it's hard to say he has not exceeded those concerns. Is he Vince Lombardi, no but the guy knows football and knows what it takes to compete in this league. Probably moreso than any coach we've had sans Petrino.

If that doesn't shut him up, nothing will.

For me Pittman was probably a bit too loyal but in the end we had glaring issues after last season and those issues were addressed with new coordinators and position coaches. You can't keep fucking the same chicken...at some point you have to swap out.

Clock management...he's basically HDN 3.0

Lack of development at QB beyond the starter was a major fuckup in year 3. That shouldn't happen. This was on mainly our OC but certainly our insistence on hiding our awful backups in the spring and preseason the last couple years lets just say it was real obvious to most of us that our QBs behind KJ were not good at all.

The last bit of this is more about how the play calling last year seemed to get over ridden by Sam. For better or worse. I think you have to live with some of that. At some point if the head coach is in your ear to run the ball or pass the ball and he's having to continue to tell you what he wants...you aint gonna be there much longer and that's what happened. I don't see him doing that with Enos but all head coaches will get their play that they like in at some point.
The last on the list is special teams (hasn't been addressed) and continues to be a glaring issue. We have a full time special teams coordinator that was really neat with Georgia talent but not so much with scrubs that probably couldn't have played at North Texas. The roster has improved a lot since Pittman's first year and it's flipped some more since then. At some point there should be enough talent to go around where that excuse shouldn't fly anymore.

[hit_that_line]

All the dumbass play calling was Briles.

What is up with this?
