Kiffin to Ark may not e good move for him- per McElroy and Kannel

Said it’s a no brainer for Arkansas.
However they said for Freshwater not so much.
Key points
- he would be entering the west and recruiting against all of the others
- roster is so depleted that it would take years to get to respectability
They concluded:
that if it drags on for another day or so it would be because Fresh is digging deep into the current state of the program and seeing its to far gone for him to tackle.
- he’s got a good thing going at FAU and if he can just keep it going a better opportunity would ultimately present itself.
-They ended with, if I’m Kiffin i would want some strong, very strong contract language that Arkansas is going to give me a LOOOONNNGGG LEASH because the program is so bad that it will take years and years to rebuild to respectability. Aka guaranteed 8-10 year full salary ala Jimbo at ATM

frick Greg McElroy. That dumbass was hammering Arkansas last week for firing Chad Morris and now he has the audacity to say the “program is too far gone” or some bullshite?
fricking hope he gets mouth warts and grows into a wart infested Shrek and never works another day in his life in broadcasting. Tool.

I’m surprised kiffin’s name hasn’t come up with FSU

Arkansas is going to end up with Leach

If I'm Joey F I pass on this one. They are in a massive hole.
Keep slamming OT 7 cougars in Boca and wait it out.

CBSSports(Dennid Dodd) said something similar in relation to the Ole Miss job. The Ole Miss roster is head and shoulders above Arkansas.

Lane Kiffin, FAU coach:
I'm starting to think that when/if Kiffin makes the jump back up to the big time, it's got to be a perfect situation. Ole Miss is not that. And does Kiffin want to go against his old boss (Nick Saban) each year? At last check, Kiffin was more than happy in Boca Raton with sunshine and a luxury home in South Florida.

McElroy can frick off

SEC West is a tough league. Full story at 5

Of course it better for Arkansas then Kiffin. Arkansas need to hire Gus so Auburn can Hire Kiffin. Kiffin at Auburn would be a blast for everyone but Saban.

McElroy is better at playing with balls than talking about it.

I don't think it's as far gone as they believe. I just think they've been incredibly horribly coached the last two years.
It's not a complete rebuild, maybe a 2 year project.

Any decent coach would have won 6-7 games at Arkansas this year.

We would have given Morris plenty of time to build his team if HE didn’t suck arse. He literally gave us every single reason to fire him and not a single reason to keep him. We had 4 games against non-P5 schools this year. Had we won those 4 games, or 3 of those games plus 1 SEC game, he’d still be our coach. Not only could he not do that, he managed to lose to both San Jose St and his former QB who he ran off came back and whooped his arse. He was hired for his offense but he made every single QB WORSE! And there were a lot of them.
At Arkansas, as long as you give us any sign of progress, you will be given time to build. After that, if you average 8.5 wins a year and keep your losses at least somewhat respectable, the job is yours for a long time. Unlike AU, Bama, or LSU where even if you average 10 wins you are on the hot seat if you aren’t winning championships.
Arkansas has great facilities and support, the biggest (only) show in the state, enough access to talent to put together a championship run every few years but not with super high expectations, and the opportunity to do something no one has ever done at Arkansas - win a SEC Championship. Whichever coach wins us a SEC Championship will go on our Mt Rushmore. Winning a SEC championship at any of the Big 6 schools, it’s like “that’s nice, but whoopty do.”

After defending Chad Morris McElroy went on to suggest Arkansas should hire Ken Niumatalolo and run the triple option

IMO, these are the conditions Kiffin would thrive in. Stack the deck against him and watch him thrive
Posted on 12/3/19 at 11:42 am to Covingtontiger77
he was 5-7 last year at FAU.

Some are really downplaying Arky's potential. No, Arky doesn't have the natural recruiting footprint some of their rivals do.
But they reach all over TX and they can siphon off a lot of the LA leftovers. That's more than enough to be competitive.
And they have great facilities and fan support.
