That’s not the point. Point is he’s willing to put in the hard work and do whatever it takes. It may not translate to wins but certainly a breath of fresh air compared to what we’ve been seeing.

I admittedly wasn’t a fan of how the search went down or the initial announcement. Trying to hold off on drinking the koolaid but I’m starting to see why we hired him.
Most coaches preach accountability and effort and are demanding…but the good ones are leading from the front and not asking you to put it more work than they do. The difference between a boss and a leader.

Hasz had 2 catches for 25 yards at Ole Miss this year. Guy should have never transferred.
Is Santaga (sp?) the only guy we’ve lost to the transfer portal that had an meaningful impact? Maybe Paul or one of the DBs that went to LSU?
Point being we’ve benefited more from the portal than it’s hurt us IMO. Hopefully we are smart enough to track this stuff internally and use as a selling point when trying to retain guys.

The question is, if you give him 1M do you get more than that much back in donations from people who do think Archer is the second coming. I think it's an interesting business situation myself
I don’t think it would impact our overall NIL but I’d imagine he’d personally be getting local NIL deals at a higher clip than he will out of state.

We have KJ Jackson and Trevor Jackson (Florida St. transfer) along with Grayson Wilson possibly returning. Not sure the NIL demand he has is worth it if we keep those 3. If he wants to come great but not at the 7 figure deal he’s demanding.
Yeah I don’t think we can risk that much NIL for a QB who probably needs a redshirt year, given the roster overhaul we need this year.
He performs at Utah he’ll have plenty of options to transfer, if that’s something he wants to do.

His past history does not warrant me buying anything yet, I still think we have the second coming of Chad
I wasn’t excited initially and still cautious. However other than coaching in the AAC they are nothing alike.
His resume is much better. He spent several years in the NFL, which frankly is probably understated just knowing how to manage guys getting paid. Chads only claim to fame was coaching HS in TX and recruiting Watson.

I hope so. One thing about RS radio interviews that brought back some bad memories was his comment about coaches reaching out interested in a job. We heard that twice from the last 2 and ended up with less than impressive assistants after being told otherwise.

It’ll be interesting to see how Auburn does going forward, considering they basically just got the staff a lot of fans were hoping & planning on.
I expect they’ll be in the playoff hunt next year or the year after. Primarily due to keeping Durkin and adding an offfense. Though I will say Golesh isn’t a Time of Possession guy ( somebody posted that here I think) so we’ll see what impact that has on their defense.

re: Is Lack of Talent and Insufficient NIL to Get Quality Talent the Reason the Program is Bad
Posted by GoldenSombrero on 12/1/25 at 2:28 pm to Litigator
No our program sucks because we’ve had 3 hires in a row that either sucked or checked out. We haven’t been well coached in quite some time. NIL keeps teams from winning 10+ games…but no excuse for many of the failures we’ve had over the past seasons; other than coaching and not building a winning culture.

Agree on the importance of in state kids. Happy to be proven wrong but Archer reminds me more of Kodi Burns than Ole Miss QB. Except I think Burns was a little bigger

wonder how much if any NIL is helping right now.
Probably not much. Not sure the other staff put in much effort with the 3 we’ve flipped so far. Guessing RS has previously connected with them. So far I’m heard good things about how he’s tried to recruit Arkansas in the past from HS coaches.

Would be cool but I don’t see Archer as an SEC QB.

Between the last staff not recruiting instate and the Ole Miss chaos should be able to flip some guys RS probably has already tried to recruit in that region

Hunter again proves how bad he is at the job he's paid to do.
Good post. This really sums it up. He doesn’t have a f’ing clue what he’s doing and it becomes more obvious everytime he opens his mouth. I don’t think he could sell free water in a desert.

So I’ve bitched and moaned about the Silverfield hire all day….but apparently he has better connections or respect from a large number of the high school coaches. I didn’t know it was that bad till talking with a coach a few months back. Said Pittman and Morris didn’t seem to give a shite about in state talent.
Kids are begging to play for the Hogs….but it’s not so much about the record as it is they aren’t really recruiting them. Which makes sense given our records lately. We have no culture or pride within the program. In state talent is prettt critical especially when SHTF.
Winning 6 games here isn’t difficult.
-Don’t let all the in state kids leave
- Build some culture/ pride from within
- Don’t turn the ball over and quit racking up 100+ yards in penalties
The above is the difference between our 2 wins vs 8+ this year. And that’s with the worst Defense I’ve ever seen on the field.

We fire a career Oline coach, but we hire a Oline coach with a GM.
Sad that him bringing his own GM is the highlight of this hire but here we are.
And while I don’t like the hire the fact he’s bringing his own support personnel is a positive, and should be yet another reason for HY to hit the road.
I’d probably gain some respect for Silverfield if he points out how f’d up our football infrastructure is and what he’s doing to fix it since we don’t have a clue.

I like watching good football. Who keeps watching TV shows that suck or kill off the best characters; while giving fans of said show the middle finger. Why should my support of Razorback football continue when it’s obvious the program doesn’t give a shite about the same things I do.

What if he retains BP as his offensive coordinator? Could there still be hope? And a fat NIL.
Literally the only thing he could do at this point to make this palatable.

stated way back in this thread, Silverfield and Wommack might be good hires but not exciting and that’s what the fanbase wanted/needed. I get the pushback
Wommack is an unknown. Not ideal but could be spun.
Why is Silverfield a good hire? What did he do at Memphis?
I’ll give him credit for rebuilding his roster last year with a ton of transfers. He isn’t an offense guy, nor defense guy. Sounds like we just hired a younger Pittman.
