Arkansas is like the guy that always talks shite but has no reason to talk.

I know you all are slow in MS. I wasn't speaking of him being impressive. He's just a much better sell than Barry Lunney. We're not settling or we would have trotted out Butch, Drink, Petrino, Nutt...even Leach who extended with no raise. Also not signed yet fwiw.

Sheesh

Why would Kiffin care if he can come right in and win next year? He wouldn't.
If someone is offering you the same amount of money to do the same job, but one job is going to be easier than the other for the first two years, why would you not take the easier job?

This isn't to troll or piss off Arkansas fans, I'm legitimately asking

And FWIW, I'm not celebrating just yet until he signs the dotted line

Arkansas is at absolute best the 5th most attractive job in the division. Probably 6th.

not to mention a couple schools in the East are obviously better.
and then non-SEC schools from neighboring states that are also more attractive.

makes for a tough time hiring the right person.

Oh trust me I completely understand, and the fact that you’ve been forced to use Houston Nutt as a benchmark is why I was laughing at you.

The only way you'd beat the offer is if you went TAMU level with your contract or LK commanded such. That's one thing or AD made clear when we hired him. He doesn't like the direction there contracts are going with the huge guaranteed money whether you suck arse. He will go big, but we won't get fricked again with that shite when there's plenty of other options out there.

Do I really need to explain why one would use a low mark to make my point on not settling? Meh. You all are hurting my brain.

This isn’t going to end well for Arkansas.

The Arkansas job now comes with 4 built in losses.



This. Every year you are playing 4 teams in your own division with vastly superior recruiting ability. Even if you can build up the Arkansas roster to a competitive level, your odds of a division title are less than 10% in any given year. And this is a full 3-4 year rebuild job just to get to that level. Combine those depressing facts with an unrealistic fan base that fired a coach with two division titles, and you have a job that a coach would take only for the money.

We'll be fine. Can't get worse, man.

I'm of the opinion there will be a WAOM moment but we'll see. And I'll be back to congratulate because I don't claim sources nor am I trying to pretend I know people.

I'm not real scared of being wrong on an anonymous message board. I'm not going to be embarrassed. I'm This Little Piggy on the SEC Rant.... don't care if you all OOOOOO me.

Dropping like flies.

If Lunney is named HC I wonder how may Ark fans will stick around this place.

I have better to do like watch some real football then sit here and argue things that aren't done yet.

I'll be back when it's over. We won't get real news until Kiffin is done or we are definitely going another direction.

If you want to sit around and listen to he said/she said shite all day, more power to you.

Well, yeah. Rumors are a pretty big component of the coaching changes board. The Kiffin/Lunney rumors just happen to not be in your favor and your butthurt is consuming you.

Now that Kentucky is becoming somewhat respectable it honestly might be one of the least attractive jobs in the conference.

I'd put it behind

The Big 6, A&M, South Carolina, Kentucky in it's current form and now apparently Ole Miss.

IMO they're on par with Miss St and Missouri and only ahead of Vanderbilt.
