I don’t think anyone has said that, but if you think a single sane person would pick Arkansas over auburn I don’t know what to tell you. Nevermind the fact he’s an alum

I hope he is ready to prove you and other Auburn fans wrong about him not being a good DC as of now.

An Auburn All-SEC linebacker and former position coach?… uhh, I think we could get him.

Good recruiter, good LB coach, not good as a DC.

I would expect Arkansas to land some good LB and get better play there, not that it was bad to start with.

Gus Malzahn has now lost his OC and DC. Ouch.

Isn't that a good thing since he needs to get better OC and DC?

Good recruiter but just not experienced enough to be DC at a SEC school to me.


Defense is 90% recruiting. Doesn’t matter what D you call if you’re getting beat physically. I’ll take an A level recruiter with light experience over a known entity who’s not known for recruiting. Arkansas needs players.

Are you really the actor Jon Ham?

Freeze tried to hire him too. Just fyi.
He was only considered with the task of co-DC. He was passed over by better options.

Travis Williams, himself, threw his name in the ring to be Auburn’s DC. He’s a former Auburn player and former Auburn LB coach. If you think he chose to be Arkansas’ DC over Auburn then you’ve lost your mind.

It’s also no surprise he was announced to Arkansas AFTER Auburn filled their position.

He wanted out of UCF pretty badly what I’ve read.

It wasn’t bc of Auburn. It’s Freeze. He doesn’t have a great reputation among respectable coaches.

Ha. Pittman interviewed and passed on Roberts. He’s a dinosaur and runs an archaic complicated defense, that’s why his mentee fired him.

He’s taking a CO-DC title at Aubie.

Bragging about hiring Williams fortunately will probably be the death nail for your coordinator reliant coach

Why he wanted out of UCF pretty bad? Is it Gus the problem or will Travis get to a better DC at Arkansas?
