I think Fritz is exactly what Arkansas needs. Give him a few years and he'll be able to rebuild that program. Drinkwitz doesn't have enough experience, IMO. I'm not sure why Aransas cooled on Napier. But Fritz will do a damn good job.

LoL

Arkansas is CERTAIN they are getting Kiffin.

Ole Miss now seems CERTAIN they get Kiffin.

I love coaching searches... as long as Auburn isn't doing them lol

Ole Miss, in accordance with their tradition of hiring Arkansas leftovers, is closing in on signing Chad Morris.

I talked with a couple of people close to Tulane’s program. Willie Fritz is staying. Tulane is talking with Fritz about giving him a raise (likely $3 Million) and increasing his buyout. I don’t believe he was ever a top candidate for Arkansas or Missouri.

He’s just trolling. We’re hiring someone who is coaching this weekend, not Drink.

I will laugh if its Drinkwitz

He inherited a strong program and has only been there one year. How has he proven he can turn a program around or build one?

Did Arkansas’ AD fly to Boca Raton?

That's why we won't. We can't afford to do that after Morris.


Yes, we were in Boca for 4+ hrs for the interview. This was reported by national media as well.

He’s been to Boca and a few other places... but Boca more than once. He’s sitting at home this weekend if that tells you anything.

I've seen more than one national "expert" state that Napier isn't ready to be a P5 HC. So I'm sure State will hire him next

It kind of tells me he’s relaxing because he feels confident in getting a deal done.

Arkansas has moved on from Kiffin. I'm hearing they're looking at giving Rhule a top 10 salary in a last ditch effort to save face. Drinkwitz is the most likely option.

Ole Miss boned the Hogs. As I've been saying all week, OM is just a better job at the moment.

Napier wants to coach at either Tennessee or South Carolina if he lands in the SEC. He may take one of the current openings, but that is where ho would rather be than coaching in the west.

I've heard this as well.

Arky made a run at Tom Allen at Indiana. That's why he got the extension that he got.

No.

Football Scoop is an Ole Miss homer, he’s spreading false info to make it look like we are scrambling.

This is the oldest looking 36 year old I've ever seen. Either way, he's an Arkansas guy. It makes the most sense. This is more than likely the new HC
