It’s only successful if the fanbase he’s targeting believes it, and not a single hog fan does lol. We know he’s a douche canoe

Boise and SMU

it is not nothing but they got by far the easiest draw due to how dumb they set the first year of the playoffs

There’s one thing everyone from Arkansas who actually knows something, knows. The Walton’s have not been involved in athletics consistently for quite some time, and will not be shelling out money anytime soon.
Bud was very active - since him this children, etc, have been more involved in non sports. I’d chalk this up to BS.
Yes the hunts and Tyson’s will be involved, and Warren Steven’s, but the Walton’s absolutely will not be.

Lots of Arky accounts all tweeting the same thing

Yet no one mentions a name


That's because everybody is full of shite and doesn't actually know anything.

On our board right now there are two separate tweets. One claiming Franklin and the other claiming Dabo.

Franklin to me isn’t that. Boring choice imo which wouldn’t excite me if I was a hog fan
Then you are brain dead

This is a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th down 3 with 2 outs in game 7 of the World Series hire for Arkansas if they can pull it off

At Penn State, 80% of the conference teams Franklin played were outmatched entirely in terms of talent. At Arkansas, how often will that be the situation?
And at Vandy when Franklin went 9-4 two years in a row and 9-7 in the SEC?

I'd take Franklin before I'd take Mizzou's Drink that's for sure. The fact anyone even has him on their lips at LSU makes me terrified if that's true.

I’m a realist. Arkansas is an FCS level school now and has been for a while. It’s pure 100% delusion to think we are somehow “above” hiring a guy who was deep into the playoffs LAST SEASON.

The rumor was Walton’s got pissed their choice for chancellor was ignored. Also rumor is they’ve seen the love Tyson got for the Cal hire. Walton’s worried that if a super league is formed they don’t want to get left out cus that could potentially hurt their business college enrollment (we all know successful football helps boost enrollment). It might not be the kids but other Walmart higher ups that are helping. If they pony up idgaf put a Walmart logo in the middle of the field my two cents.

Would rather have a coach that was more of a threat to winning a title, I don’t see Franklin winning a title. Also I’m not an Arkansas fan, so I by the replies from Arkansas fans I guess they are just content winning football games smh

He lost 27-24 on a last second FG in the semifinals last year. I’d say that’s threatening to win a title….

Franklin easily raises our floor. That’s all we really want. We are tired of winning 2-6 games. If we can win 7-9, sign me up. It’s been hell
