Talent rich state with no school to fight for recruits with
Les miles was an OL coach who took advantage of that too.
It’s the main reason I thought O would succeed.
Didn't think that's what you meant.
I think the coaching model is possible if you're willing to spend money, a la LSU and Clemson's coordinators.

Those models work at those schools cause they pay well and it cones with high exposure
Is Arkansas willing to pay? Cause the profile certainly isn’t there
The lack of interest in that job from anyone of note will also reflect in the hiring of assistants. Just my opinion. An OL coach isn’t moving the needle.

You guys thought Morris was God's answer to recruiting. Now yall hate him. I don't see a position coach without any head coaching experience being successful at Ark. unless 8-4 years are considered successful in the SEC West. Not being hateful, just realistic.

He had previous HC experience.

I don't get this move by Arkansas if this is the move. Why go for a position coach who has never called a game on either side of the ball and let coaches like Drink, Napier, Clark say no? Unless every coach they've approached said no, and I mean every one, then this move makes no sense.

Why? How many times do we have to point to O and Dabo?
Can we recruit LSU type players? Yes but not as a whole. We're at this point, just trying to win one damn SEC game.
Pittman can build the rest with the right staff. He will be given time to do so.
And yes, AR can and will pay.

Because recruiting is more important that scheme. We need a proven recruiter. Sam Pittman is that.

And? He's a damn good coach. We'll see if he can get a great staff and let them do their jobs.

You can’t say they will pay if they hire a nobody as the HC

Basically, every coach worth a crap that interviewed with them declined the job, or simply wasn't wanted by the boosters.

Don’t forget that the last HC was fired before finishing his second season. Not a good look when trying to convince a proven HC. Maybe not coordinators either.

Not saying it's gonna work at all, but LSU hired a DL coach who completely failed as a head coach prior, and he has LSU as the #1 team in the country. Just saying.
Posted on 12/8/19 at 8:40 pm to Lester Earl
Coach O wasn't a much bigger name. Same with Dabo.
Posted on 12/8/19 at 8:41 pm to Cincinnati Bowtie
My God. Look what Morris did. And tell me he didn't deserve to be fired on the fricking spot.
Posted on 12/8/19 at 8:53 pm to This Little Piggy
I'd jack off to 8-4 again

I'm just happy to see 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and Chavis leaving.
Pittman will not be worse than Chad. I'm certain of that. Dude will rebuild the OL and we will play physical football again. After Pittman said adios to Bert our OL went to shite and it still hasn't recovered.
Besides, if we would have hired Kiffen, Norvell, Drink, etc. we still would have all the rantards telling us it was a shitty hire.

True Ed O couldn't win previously at Ole Miss. However, his former assistants at Ole Miss have said that no one could have won with those players that Ed O inherited from his predecessor.
Not to mention, that Ed O's tenure wasn't all bad while at Ole Miss, as ED O's replacement, Houston Nutt, was able to win immediately with the recruits that Ed O brought to Ole Miss.
However, because Houston Nutt was a piss-poor recruiter, as soon as Ed O's players all graduated, Houston Nutt started losing before getting fired by Ole Miss himself.
In fact, Hugh Freeze has said when he was still the head coach at Ole Miss that had the Ole Miss administration not rushed so fast to remove Ed O before the final year of his four-year contract, that in all likelihood Ed O would still be the head coach at Ole Miss today.
Anyway, the Ole Miss job turned out to be a great learning experience for Ed O and today he is absolutely one of the premier head football coaches in college football at LSU today. Geaux tigers!!!

But Ed O had proven he could get the job done by being an interim head coach at first USC and then subsequently at LSU, and everyone knew he could recruit his arse off. Cause he was largely responsible for all of those outstanding recruiting classes at USC under Pete Carroll.
