Short list:

1. Paul Rhodes, Arkansas DB coach
2. Bob Diaco, former UCONN HC (fired)


quote:

CFBStats goes back until 2008, and 2016 Arkansas’s 7.8 yds/play allowed (vs conf teams) is the worst in CFB in this span.

Dude has gone down the shitter. I wanted him to replace chavis a few years ago.

Promote rhoades. Proven and solid D.C.

Darrius Philon, Trey Flowers, and Martrell Speight made him look like Nick Saban for 1 season.

Rhodes is a really good D.C. Seems like an easy transition

I heard Aranda was looking to go to Arkansas to be dc. Called it the "end all be all" of coaching jobs. Said the natural recruiting base of Arkansas talent was the main draw.

so your OC gets a pass for not being able to move the ball thus keeping their D on the sideline

Smith was looking promising a few years ago. Not sure what happened.

Outside of this game, offense has been an overall positive the last season and a half and defense has been the liability.

the offensive line is not the oc's problem. i would not be mad at all if enos took over for BB honestly. he's probably the best coach on the staff

After giving up 38 to LSU and 42 to MSU, it's looking more and more likely Arkansas will be searching for a new DC.

Arkansas will have to find someone stupid enough to sign a noncompete like their last legendary defensive coordinator did. I think that leaves you with Paul Rhodes, Kevin Steele, Jon Tenuta, Brian Van Gorder level of folks.

Arkansas gave up 21 second half points to 3 win Missouri.

Let the search begin.
