HY just has to survive another month. Then it’ll be basketball season with probably a top 10 team.
Why would you want to be rich if there weren’t poor people willing to do things for your money.

He can’t even keep delivery day promises. Why would we want him in charge?

Sounds like you need a therapist and not a doctor.

I think we’ve got to stick with the guy that got us here. He’s been here 10 years and understands how impossible it is to win football games. His predecessor understood this when he said we’re not a win at all cost program. Our best bet is to sit back and do nothing and hope congress gets those successful programs to stop trying so hard. It’s really smart to do no fundraising and no taking on debt. We’re going to be in a great position to not spend money later.

Sure we all want that but that’s not all we want.

Take solace in the fact that we’re a no debt program.
Gus was a one trick pony. Once everyone adapted to tempo he had nothing. He wasn’t successful anywhere else. Auburn was right to fire him, they just made poor hiring decisions after that.

4th in the SEC in football ticket sales? Anyone else shocked by that? With this shitshow over the past 15 years? That’s South Carolina level masochism.


Very misleading as it’s just the face value of the ticket and not the donation required to get the ticket. The data is basically useless without knowing the total cost.

I was agreeing with you. HY had no plan to attract a good coach because plan A was for Pittman to keep winning 6 games and going to bowl most years. When he effed that up plan B was to hire Petrino who wasn’t in a position to make demands. When that didn’t work there was no plan C.

Names like Franklin and Lashlee were floated to give fans hope that the financial piece was fixed but we ended up with another hire that had no options.

Hunter fired Pittman hired a coach no one wanted and didn’t worry about NIL.


HY fired Pittman in response to the backlash of him saying out loud he doesn’t think we can compete for championships in football. As damage control we got lip service from HY and exactly the same level coach and NIL as before.

Just kidding. 8.1

Show some respect. We dominated Tulsa this past Saturday. We should be at least 15b.

My group had a contract with a hospital. Hospital lawyer made some threats about breach of contract. We hired a lawyer to navigate the situation. One call from our lawyer reminding them how they caused the situation in question squashed all that.

I learned 2 things from the situation. Hospital lawyers are weakest of the legal profession but still you don’t want to take them on by yourself.
Taking care of business the first half. Meanwhile uga and Utah look like playoff teams. Maybe we aren’t complete dogshit. Nevertheless fire HY.
I’ve noticed it struggles with unique questions. If it’s been asked something a thousand times it has a polished answer.

I disagree. We’re on a 12 game sec losing streak spanning 3 different head coaches. Nothing is getting fixed until HY is gone.

Yep. The irony is he’s actively lobbing for a salary cap for the players and refuses to engage in bidding wars for football coaches. We’re too poor to hire a football coach that anybody wants yet he’s paid like a top 15 AD.

No. I believe a bot term is 10 years. Should be a whole new set of blue hairs.
Arkansas athletics is a billion dollar franchise that’s being run like a Burger King that just had a Chick-fil-a open up across the street. HY is incapable of doing anything other than managing the decline.
When LSU had an incompetent AD the governor of the state said the AD wouldn’t be allowed to choose the next coach. He was soon fired. In Louisiana the politicians understood how important it is for the flagship university to have a successful sports program. It’s good for the whole state. They’ll find the money.

Our politicians could learn a lesson and put pressure on the university to get rid of this incompetent bean counter AD.
