This is his first year as DC so he may not be the hot name. It is amazing the longest tenured OC is Todd Haley.

Wow you really think aTm is a better program than Arkansas? You need your head checked. They are on the same level. Both of them are better jobs than oSu.

I believe the same coach will have more success at A&M over Arky

For example, if you could clone a coach, he will win more at A&M because he will get far better recruits.


That is the whole basis of this argument. What programs would be better for Gundy

Gundy would do the same at Arkansas and aTm. They are the same program. When you line them up over history and now, they are the same level.

oSu is the step below, until recently. I am sorry you do not get how much money and facilities are in Fayetteville when it comes to football.

Gundy would be smart to never leave oSu and he wont unless somebody offers him NFL type money.

According to your logic, it is easier for the same coach to win at Nebraska than it is at FSU, UF, or LSU

True but purely looking at which school will naturally recruit better isn't the only factor if we are trying to judge future landing spots.

Unless said coach doesn't want to deal with the unrealistic expectations at A&M.

According to your logic you just win based on recruits and you and I both know that the bigger the newspaper and the more money he spends to go to a camp, the higher the ranking a recruit gets.

sure, but that is the main difference when comparing a&m and arkansas. arkansas has money, just like a&m does. arkansas has facilities, just like a&m does. but a&m has an easier time recruiting than arkansas does

I could believe this if everything is in a vacumm but that really isn't the case with Gundy. I seriously doubt he ends up at either school though.

True. I am speaking at where I think it is "easier to win." That is my way of ranking.

For example, it is easier to win at Bama than Vandy, but some coaches make like Vandy because there is less pressure and fits their personality more

Several of those jobs on your list are not even step ups. And most arent significantly better jobs to warrant a change

And Arkansas has the edge when it comes to personal reasons, no telling how serious that is to him though

Absolutely when we are talking about a clone coach. How can someone disagree?

The same exact coach is going to win more when he has better players.

I think we would offer more money for a staff and I think our facilities are nicer (though Arkansas' are very nice as well). The difference isn't huge though and I doubt that translates much to on field success

I think the biggest difference between the two as far as attractiveness to a prospective head coach is the natural recruiting base. I think we are ahead of Arkansas as far as being attractive to a coaching candidate but I don't think it's by a lot. I'm also biased
