2023-24 Razorback basketball

[Thin Red Swine]

Would you take May over Muss? He caught lightning in a bottle last year. Brought back the same group and underachieved. Before last year was mediocre at best.

We will see if they really underachieved. The conference was pretty competitive this year. I think they could give UConn a battle in the second round.

[Barton Fink]

He was 66-56 the four years before. He hit on one transfer class.

He would've been ran out of Arkansas after his 2nd year with those resilts.

[Lurk]

I hope Muss comes back.

I think you are more likely to strike lightning in a bottle with the coaches in their late 30s to early 50s. Certainly the really good ones can carry on a while. Guys like Muss get that itch to move on and clearly he's chasing money and job security after a shit season in which HE FUCKED THE DOG. Who in the hell leaves an Arkansas gig for fucking SMU? What the actually fuck. Does the Louisville thing really fly. I guess maybe momma wants to live in the big city market and he doesn't have to go far to find good talent. Not a terrible gig I guess going into the ACC. Maybe the Arkansas gig isn't the gig it once was.


My Short List...and I'm leaving plenty out that I don't figure we could get.

Tier 1

T. J. Otzelberger
Greg Gard
Preston Spradlin
Dusty May

Tier 2

Andy Kennedy
Kevin Kruger
Steve Forbes
Somebodies killer assistant I've never heard of that know$ how to get things done

[BASS]

I fully believe he's trying to put pressure on the administration to give him a raise and extension. Who knows if he's bluffing, but so far we aren't seeing as much chatter with the staff contacting guys in the portal.

I can see a guy like Will Wade going to SMU, though.

We better fucking call his bluff

I wanted to post Andy Kennedy a while back when rumors started to surface about Muss leaving. But I didn't want to post a duck for cover gif, neither.

I would take AK in a heartbeat. His players have always played hard for him. But he's never been at a winning program or a program w/ real resources. He's only in his mid 50s.

Definitely Kennedy over May. May seems like a Stan Heath recency hire.

[DrMongoose]

where was the extension when we were winning? Why now? that logic makes the pittman extension even worse.

I call bullshit on muss turning down louisville. they have had Dusty May #1 on their list and it appears to be done.

if he wants to go to SMU let him.

everyone portalling out to going mid-major or lower which means the talent eval was garbage.

if Muss does leave and Hunter pulls a pittman type hire instead of landing a big time coach, he can hit the bricks too.

[jdcatty]

Screw Muss if he wants to go to SMU.  Bunch of little rich kids there. 
They will never have the passion of an Arkansas crowd.

exactly, anyone who is worried about the program is an idiot and has no concept that this is a national respected and proven winning program. This is not a pie in the sky bullshit program.

[Barton Fink]

SMU is an awful fit for Muss.

[red death]

I hope he leaves.  He's a turd.  Oh sure his poor sportsmanship and lunatic sideline demeanor we could swallow when he was going to the elite 8 but now? 

He's a shitty person see San Diego and now he wants a raise after having the worst season since Pelphrey?

He's always been a shitty fucker. That's why he was basically a grad assistant when hie antics got him run out of the NBA, which he only got because of his dad. 

I hope he reads this next part:

Eric go fuck yourself.  Or sign your damn contract and be lucky you have a job after that abortion you put us through and get your ass to work.  And take your wife with you she's a big phony too.  I read people for a living I can tell.

I believe Otzelberger's buyout is $17MM so you can scratch him off.

Bucky McMillan (Samford) bares watching too but probably need a larger sample size.

[Guardrail]

If your girl, who is pretty good looking and used to give you a good BJ, is actually contemplating giving the ugly chubby guy a handy in the parking lot after work, do you really want her to stay and beg her not to leave?

Is it better or worse, if she's only threatening to do that to make you jealous and to make you say that you love her?

Sorry, but I'm not watching any dude do anything bare, I don't care the size of his sample.

[DirkPiggler]

SMU is an awful fit for Muss.

I don't know about that.

They have money for NIL.  Going to a basketball first league.  Have always been willing to stretch academic standards for the right athletes. 

His sister is apparently engaged to a fairly significant SMU booster as well.

All the oldest money will lose there minds if he goes because they will have SWC flashbacks and then there is the whole Arkansas obsession with all things Dallas.

Still, to go from 3 straight sweet 16s to a below 500 is a massive failure.  There are better coaches out there.

It must have been horrible for you when he was winning.
