We dont have the recruiting base to be a giant....but with the right coach we can be a perennial 8 win program with a few really good seasons every decade where we are competing for the SEC.

With our resources we should be at the least a solid SEC program.

Hogs to offer Matt Campbell 5 years and anywhere from $5.15M to $7M a year, depending on if he says no a couple of times or not.

If not, Kiffin is ready to sign for 5 years at $3.5M a year

Don’t believe it.

IMO Campbell is going to wait for a top 10 job. Why risk your rising stock to take over Arkansas?

We are waiting on Campbell to answer tonight/tomorrow. If he says no we are offering Kiffin and he will accept. Either way we win.

I've heard Jerry Jones wants Campbell and it is pretty much a done deal.

Why take the risk at Iowa State either? Hard to know what motivates some folks.

Rumor is he’s willIng to pay $7 mil and put up whatever Campbell needs for a staff. He’s tired of Arkansas sucking arse.

It’s campbell. Will be announced next Tuesday


The new news out today is that 2 contracts are being drawn up.

Campbell will be around 6 million. If he says no it is Kiffin's who is ready to sign right now.

Arkansas is waiting for a yes from Campbell today or tomorrow.

Should have announcement monday or tuesday.

From danny west who has a source close to campbell

quote:

I think Matt Campbell is gonna have to turn down a lot of money -- probably upwards of 5, 5.5, 6 -- and if he does, I think Lane is the guy. That's not surprising to most who have kept up, but I really believe that's where it's at as of right now, and I think that's a very safe place for Arkansas to be in this search.
We know the coaches were told not to be in the offices on Monday or Tuesday. Is that simply a break, or does that mean someone may be on campus? I don't know, but I've got it through multiple sources that coaches are not to report back until Wednesday.



quote:

I've got a pretty good tie-in with Campbell who, as we reported weeks ago, said he'd definitely have high interest in Arkansas or any SEC job. The money would have to be there, and it would be there. I know what Arkansas is up against from a financial standpoint, but I also think they know it's really not as bad a situation as some might think. The money would be there, I have no doubts.
The thing about Campbell that I think makes him appealing is that, while you've got a lot of people thinking "Yeah but he's a Midwest guy and he's gonna hold tight until Michigan State or Penn State come open," a close friend of his tells me quite the opposite. According to this mutual friend, Matt is a guy who couldn't care less about logos. It's the reason he took the Iowa State job after they'd gone 3-9, 2-10 and 3-9 in the three years before he got the job. My guy says Campbell's main priorities include working for good people who love football, are passionate and supportive about their program, and have a great place to live. If that's not Fayetteville, Arkansas, good luck to ya.

I know comprehension is tough at a 3rd grade level, but put the crack pipe down and read the thread again. Jones isnt hiring anyone, just fronting the cash for his alma mater

Our AD was seen picking up assistant AD, bags in hand, and they were not at the basketball game tonight. Stuff is going down in Arkansas. We are about to have a coach.

Campbell would be a great hire. I would be very surprised if he takes it, though. Y’all know more than me tho about the talks with Campbell tho

Kiffin just seems like the perfect fit and would obviously crawll to Arkansas.
