Hutchinson Community College head coach Rion Rhoades is set to join the Arkansas staff, sources told FootballScoop on Tuesday.

quote:

Rhoades has been the head coach at his alma mater since 2007, going 99-50 with 10 postseason appearances over that time. The Blue Dragons went 10-2 with a win in the Salt City Bowl in 2019.

quote:

Located in Hutchinson, Kan., Hutchinson competes in the influential Jayhawk Conference, which produces dozens of FBS players each season.

quote:

Arkansas offered a defensive end and defensive tackle from the school during the weekend. The previous staff had offered two defensive backs from the school as well.

quote:

The two Hutchinson players offered this past weekend were defensive tackle Latrell Bankston, 6-1, 299, and defensive end Kirmari Gainous, 6-4, 255.

Arkansas is going to need a lot of talented jucos to fix their mess, so it makes sense.

“Rhoades – The Blue Dragon linebacker When Sam Pittman took over the Blue Dragon football program in 1992, he was taking over a struggling team in much the same way that Rhoades took over the Blue Dragons. In the three previous years before Pittman, the Blue Dragons were a paltry 5-22. Pittman’s 1992 Blue Dragons finished 5-4-1 for HCC’s first winning season since 1985. Among the 1993 recruiting class was a 5-foot-11, 220-pound linebacker from Liberal named Rion Rhoades.”

No need to be sarcastic. I’ve tried really hard to defend Arkansas’ really underwhelming hires

Farmer Fran is 13-0 and did a reverse Arkansas in the SEC. You idiots haven’t won an SEC game since 2016. You wish you had Henry Winkler as your head coach at this point. So frick off.

This worked two years ago.

Has Arkansas won a SEC game in two years?

You wanna have a circle jerk about the pitiful state of Arkansas football and how joyous everyone is over this soon to be National Championship level hire? There is a board for that.

If you want reality, i.e. Arkansas football is on a Rutgers level right now, stay on this board.

Your choice.

Solid point. It will also help Pittman to surround himself with guys that have HC experience.

Pittman seems to be taking a solid approach to rebuild. He's also not a d-bag like Bert was or as disengaged as Morris was.

Pittman going to have to find some men to out in both sides of the line and find us a QB. No pressure, right?
