As far back as I can remember when it comes to coaching searches and everyone wanting this coach or that coach...it's never ever those coaches that get hired.

So it matters not if you mention Matt Campbell because now that he's in this thread he won't be hired by the UA. 

I do agree though that baring a total meltdown Sam Pittman will be making bad judgement calls for the Hogs this time next season.

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.

Someone needs to make a meme of Mizzou and A&M as a "My Two Dads" type thing.

Fuck it.  Make Aggy the daddy and Mizzou the first-time babysitter.  We're getting violated either way.

Good point. 

I also don't really care if anybody likes me.   I'm a real asshole in real life, not like the fun loving happy go lucky genus everyone here thinks I am.

People were saying the same thing about Bert throughout the 2017 season until Long got canned.

but yurachek ain't getting canned.

I just don't see Sam at his age, with his money, wanting to stick around and put in the work, particularly if he wants to retire in Arkansas.  If he he leaves after this year, he'll still be popular down on Lake Hamilton.  He will still be able to drive the old Tritoon up to the dock at Sam's Pizza and sit out and drink a cold beer.  But if he tries to hang on too long, not only is he going to be miserable, he is going to damage his retirement plans.

How strong are the different donor factions these days?  Seems like since before Nutt (and moreso after) the PTB factions chose their guy, and refused to support if their guy didn't get the gig.

Maybe I am imagining this.  Don't we have big dick money donors who don't want to see us hire Gus, and just as big factions who want to hire him?

I wish the Waltons cared about sports these days.  They could give us the best team money can buy, and a coach to go with it.  There are three of the 2nd generation living in NWA full time now, with a combined net worth over $200 Billion.

We don't need a Billion, Alice, Rob, Jim....we just need about 30 million per year.  In other words, about 1/10th of what you each make on investments per quarter.  Just one of you stepping up could change us for decades.



I'm on smoko, so leave me alone.

I thought the Aggie game was done in Jerry World? When will we stop playing there?
I need help and I know it.

The Lord wants you to put your foot on their balls and believe in it. 'Cuz that's what wins football games. Not jumping offsides like a bunch of wimps and faggots. I don't care what those pinkos over in Russia say. You want to be a loser? You go live in Russia. I'm a winner. I'm an American.

After that, they can start abusing us in our own stadium.

Would it be worth it if we were the wokest athletic department in the country because that is what it would take to get any of that money.  That is all they care about.  I think that is even ahead of making money for them at this point, gotta virtue signal their way into Heaven.

There is the chance they will pay us for the naming rights to Razorback Stadium. Of course, we will change our colors to blue and yellow, and instead of calling the Hogs, we say, "Welcome to Wal-Mart.

Long wouldn't have gotten canned if he would have agreed to fire Burt. 

The boosters and BoT got that one right at least, even though they shat all over themselves with the football hire that they (not Julie Cromer Peoples) made.

True.

I still simultaneously laugh and insta-rage whenever I see the dumbasses in our media (usually the elf) talk about how Julie Cromer-Peoples hired Chad Morris. She had as much to do with hiring Morris as I did.

Ferret Top has been doubling down on that all weekend, and I've been calling him on it every time he does.  He even dug Wally Hall out of the crypt to vouch for his shit take on the subject. 

They all fell for the CYA messaging from the board after Morris flopped.  "No way we would have hired that dumb bastard.  It was that stupid skirt pretending to know about sports.  She shoulda stayed in the kitchen.  We had Gus and Mike Norvell lined up and she overruled us."

Either they were dumb enough to hire Chad Morris, or they were dumb enough to sit back let an interim AD with no determined future at the university hire him.

Irwin can suck all the asshole he wants, that doesn't change the fact that no one involved knew wtf they were doing.

Yep. They'd require a Dylan Mulvaney type person be a position coach or even head coach. Then they'd have to have a DEI manager on staff and provide safe spaces for those that feel like the coach was being a poo poo head to them when things got tough.
The same people demanding everyone embrace your beliefs, have zero tolerance and condemn another for embracing theirs.  Oh, the irony.

For some reason I was in an email exchange with Wally in 2019. It's been long enough now.

Me:
I take issue with one thing from your column -- absolutely no Razorback fan believes that a female interim AD made the Chad Morris hire or "recommended" it.


Wally:
She made the announcement. I know there is politics but how much I don't know.

If by "politics" he means other people made the decision, he's right. A lot hidden in that word.
