I don't get that vibe at all either. He just seems to be positive and as he said, he is trying to shed the loser mentality. You have to be positive considering our program has been in the shitter for so long.

I'm not going to piss my pants about mid 4 star in state recruits. That's realistic, not weird.

Being that you aren't gonna piss your pants over 4 star in state recruits, does that at least make you somewhat happy?

I mean shite, at least Silverfield is getting in state guys. That is one of the main things that every fricking Hog fan bitches about when it doesn't happen, including myself. Silverfield has to start somewhere. I feel pretty good about it and it is a good first day for him.

That is pretty much what I am thinking as well. HY is the real issue. A ton of misplaced anger towards Silverfield which he doesn't exactly deserve. Is he the hire that most wanted.....absolutely not. But HY fumbled this hire from the start.

Most everyone had far greater expectations than Silverfield. Considering the time HY had to make the hire along with the overall importance of this hire coming off of Morris and Pittman. Silverfield is just caught in the middle of HY's shitshow. This is no sunshine pumping from me or accepting mediocrity, but I am willing to give Silverfield a chance to prove everyone wrong. He has to absolutely kill it at the press conference on Thursday. That is the first step and he just has to get that right.

After the dust has settled, my love for the Razorbacks is still there. Yeah I get pissed off but I know I'll still watch every game and follow recruiting etc. This program is just too engrained in me to pull the plug, that isn't gonna happen. I can still follow the program and refuse to accept HY's dumb shite along along the way.

I don't believe for a second that Golesh decided not to be our coach because of the media leak. That is a completely lame excuse considering that it is damn near impossible keep much under wraps these days with social media.

Golesh just didn't want to be here and another offer came along. Which the Auburn offer is better and for sure a better football program, no brainer there. Despite having many weeks to have a plan A, B, C, and D...HY managed to somehow frick it all up.

I don't blame Silverfield at all. He wanted the job and got it. This falls squarely on our AD.

Bottom line is Golesh didn't want to be here and waited for other options to become available to him. There was plenty of time to sort the deal out and Golesh simply wanted something else.

HY and our athletic department in general isn't serious about football and it is pretty clear at this point. This was the most important hire in a very long time and we end up with Silverfield. Just a damn shame.

At this point in process, anything done from here until the announcement should just be a formality. The deal should be done and right now all that should be going on is planning the press conference and where they want to go eat dinner tomorrow night.
If there is anything other than that and we get screwed again, show HY the door Monday morning.

I am 100% good with Golesh.

Nothing I would like more than for this to have worked out for Petrino. A clean slate is needed but damn, wish he could coach us again. It is for the best to move on.

Those JP games are very nostalgic, as bad as those broadcasts were.

I can agree with you, this program is bad and I have not denied that. We are the worst program in the SEC right now. So the fact that we are in the shitter is not lost upon me. My head isn't in the clouds as the state of our program.

And I do realize I am just hoping for the best here and probably have a 'glass half full' mentality with this hire. All hires are important, but this one has to be right, considering our last two hires. Silverfield may get hired at another school and do well. We just don't need another OL coach to run the show for us right now. I'll continue to watch every game no matter who the coach is. But I'd prefer to have someone that at least injects some excitement back into the fan base and gives us all a reason to give a shite about football again.

Yes our program does deserve better. Why not? I know I am not content with shite hire after shite hire. Why should anyone be?
