Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

any more of a nightmare than what he's doing at ole miss as far as arkansas is concerned?

Yeah, I think it's a win for us if he left. LSU will always be tough. OM could take a step back.

I rarely include Arkansas in any football discussion. 

A nightmare for everybody. You get a coach that can keep the homegrown talent home and a retard can win a championship(see Orgeron). He won't be having to buy linemen every year at LSU like he will continue to have to do at Mississippi.

This is why I think giving a coach an enormous buyout is BS. What incentive does he have to even win? He is getting paid regardless.

Kelley came before nil and portal.  Still that long contract is stupid.  Indiana is gonna regret that 10 year deal with Cignetti.

If you're having trouble keeping up

Arkansas
Florida
LSU
Penn State
Stanford
UCLA
Virginia Tech

We're not done as there are more firings, and coaches will get pulled to fill.  Bmfp will get an offer by or two if we don't hire him if the offense produces like it has. 

Auburn is on clock. Sark and deboer could leave.  I think lanetrain could go to corndog u. 

[Pig Benis]

I think there is a realistic shot Kiffen would go to LSU. More so than FL.

Absolutely. I think that's where he goes now.

Ok State is lurking out there too...

Yes it's no cinch that Petrino stays at Arkansas even if offered the job. Wouldn't blame him a bit for taking a better situation and at the end of the day he may not want the smoke of being head coach at his age. He can probably make a couple mil doing OC work for an IS'er program. 

I think we're going to see a lot of these fired coaches take their money and go to the house as opposed to getting another gig. It's damn hard to build a program in what amounts to a G-league concept scaled up for football. G-league sucks for a reason. 

They've got to slow down this portal shit and maybe removing the spring portal will help. Fans are losing interest..even in a season like this in the past you would at least be able to look forward to the future by watching some young guys "grow up" but who the fuck are we even developing?

There are many negatives for Petrino but I truly believe he desperately wants the job and would give it his all, and that it might work out better here than say, Louisville, because it's ultimately where he wants to retire.

On the flip side the many extra things he did in the pre-NIL era in terms of discipline, etc may not be as effective now, he was harsh and might drive players off in the revolving door era.

The best coaches a decade ago aren't necessarily that great now.  One thing that concerns me about Franklin as well.  Some just haven't adjusted to the modern era while guys like Kiffen have.

I see it a little differently with Petrino.  Money can buy compliance.  I don't believe that this generation of kids needs or wants discipline any less than previous ones.  Sure you'll lose a few pussies, but those are the types you likely aren't winning with anyway. 

My biggest concerns with Petrino are which coaches would work with/for him, and the fact that he just lost to the second worst team in the SEC at home in a game where he had a nice lead in the second half. 

[Barton Fink]

We lost the lead because we had 4 turnovers in the second half. I'm guessing Petrino gets the blame for those? If Nick Saban had coached the second half we still would've had 4 turnovers.

[HTL]

It's his handpicked QB so yes he gets a ton of blame.

[Sus-Scrofa]

A few more big jobs open up this cycle (pun intended) and the decision on Petrino will be made for us.  He'll be the best option available for Arkansas.  

I would hope we get a charitable discount on his contract.

[FNG]

TG is capable of winning games with his legs but he is equally capable of losing them with his arm and (even more so) with his infectious lack of confidence.

Fozzy Bear, or whoever the analyst guy in the booth was, said that TG's teammates all commented on how his demeanor never changes. That's great...if you are a PGA Tour pro but it sucks if you are the guy in the huddle that everyone is looking to for inspiration to go score when it's do or die.

If BP gets word before season's end that he is The Guy, I would imagine we will see a lot more of KJ Jackson.

If we're using stupid logic, I guess if you had ponied some of your cash pile we could've had a better QB that didn't turn it over. So maybe you're to blame.

[Vito Porkleone]

This right here.  I know we lose a lot of the huge runs (KJ isn't a slouch), but man he sees stuff a lot quicker than TG.  I'm all for it.

It's always easy to spend others money. So, coaches are never to blame when players habitually make the same mistakes for multiple years.

[Barton Fink]

These kids are getting paid good money to perform. When they don't, they can accept blame (and should).

[jdcatty]

I agree with this.

According to the WooPigs, turnovers are a direct reflection of the head coach.

[animal]

turnovers have off and on plagued this program since about oh...2012. 


In more recent times when you are soft fucking team with a head coach that literally used the excuse that we didn't get enough "hot days" during fall camp as to why we lost to a Memphis program that has about 1/8th the budget. 

We didn't get enough "good players" to go around he means.
