Everything is fine, Remy is here to save the day.

"I think we have to just find the right players," Cofield said. "I think overall when you're competing with money, the money is the money. I think at end of the day we've got to get the right people for Arkansas. I think that's the biggest thing, and our fanbase wants us to be extremely competitive."

Why did he leave the Celtics after 12 years to come here? Was Cal behind it? Did we offer a lot more money? Just please tell me the guy isn't retarded.

I had to look him up. A Celtics guy in the football thread threw me off.

I'm not accustomed to us having nice things. Something has to be wrong here.

How does he feel about... statues?

Quote from: BleedinRed on Jun 26, 2025, 03:05 PMNope. We are due on those two and A&M and Missouri. We will beat Texas. There will be no bad loses.

We are not "due" against Mississippi St. We somehow bit*h slapped them last year in Starkville.

If your prediction holds true on the season record, I'll buy you a steak dinner of your choosing.

State has owned us for 12 years. It's our time now baby!

I like my RibEye rare.

Quote from: Hogfan58 on Jun 26, 2025, 09:03 PMTrue, but they couldn't say come here and play in the SEC. Once that happened, we lost the 1 advantage we had.

I think besides hiring clown coaches, this is the most important factor.

Slight advantage, not "owned."

Pretty confident I won't be buying you that Ribeye, but we shall see.

since they have joined the sec, we've lost to a&m because of mind numbingly stupid plays and poor coaching decisions.

not because of their recruiting. that excuse is a red herring.

I think he meant that our recruiting advantage in Texass was lost due to aTm joining the SEC, not specifically losing to aim.

I do agree most of our losses to the Fucking Aggies is mostly due to stupid plays and poor coaching.

We're fucked and won't win another game

vegashog · Jun 27, 2025, 03:20 PM

didn't see it mentioned, but the athletic department laid off like 10% of its employees.

no names were released and no coaches were among those let go.

Saw that. Maybe if a coach would be unselfish and reduce his pay, they could keep some around.

Seems like a sharp guy.

I'm fascinated by the dynamic between coaches and the GM. It seems to me that there is going to be some built in tension between coaches and the GM. Another guy Sam can point at and say "if he had given me more money instead of giving it to Cal, we would be better.". I bet Bobby could be tough on a GM that won't pony up for a QB. Surely at some point the GM will have input into coaching personnel.

BleedinRed · Jun 27, 2025, 05:20 PM

"the money is the money."

"We need to find the right people."

How is that any different than the story that has been sold for 4+ years now?

Next thing you know, he is going to say something "All we need are the guys in the room!"

HogOfWar · Jun 27, 2025, 05:45 PM

"The right people for Arkansas" aka we only can get who is willing to come for what we are offering.

Does the cap affect NIL? I think it will just drive payments to players under the table again.

vegashog · Jun 27, 2025, 06:02 PM

the cap is for the house money i believe.

Quote from: HogOfWar on Jun 27, 2025, 03:43 PMSaw that. Maybe if a coach would be unselfish and reduce his pay, they could keep some around.

i have no problem with getting rid of people in a bloated athletic department.

ou just did the same thing and i'd guess this will happen at most schools.

Spiderham · Jun 27, 2025, 08:37 PM

I just want to know if "they love the helmet".
Those are the keeds we need.
Of course the only keeds we need are the ones in the room.

It's either cut my salary or get rid of some folks...

Been nice knowing you Jerome. Good luck at your next job.
