This is a bit of a surprise because Arkansas had a freshman kicker this season who was the #1 ranked kicker out of high school and he had said he was coming back. Guess the new staff just preferred Gilbert, wonder if there were any prior connections.

Arkansas doesn’t use any taxpayer or student money either, but fans have been advocating recently for them to at least start with a student fee like almost every other program is doing. One of those things where it doesn’t get as much attention when you’re a winning program like LSU but when...

I will say, Silverfield seems to be off to a great start on the recruiting front with in-state kids. Pittman and his staff had started completely ignoring Arkansas recruits but Silverfield has gotten three flips this morning including a couple of 4 stars. Have to start somewhere.

NFL rules prohibit Jerry from giving to NIL while he’s an active owner. The Waltons don’t give much at all aside from sponsorships. Tyson is mostly basketball. The potential is always there but it just seems like it’s always more of a concept than reality. There are like 12 billionaires...

Fans already talking about pulling a Schiano on this hire. AD has to be toast.

Not really. Tyson is, but mostly for basketball. There was a rumor Tyson was going to donate a ton if the hire was Franklin, but that’s the problem sometimes is they’re not willing to give unless they get their way on the hire. It’s been said that Arkansas plans to try getting more toward 8th in...

Remember when Vitello was hired he compared Knoxville and NWA pretty favorably to each other (Smokies vs. Ozarks) so hopefully it won’t be too different for him. His wife visits Arkansas every month to see family still.

Cincy and BYU are solid programs but an SEC team should be expected to win those games against G5 teams (BYU wasn’t in the Big 12 yet at the time). Overall I just don’t think Arkansas’ expectations should be any lower than what Ole Miss is currently able to achieve with a good coach. Those are...

Arkansas has a Russian boar as a mascot so this has always made sense if you think about it

The portal windows and pressure to start recruiting ASAP don’t help things either

The 2022 team was preseason #19 and he lost to Liberty with their backup QB at home. It was a disappointing year relative to preseason predictions but without the Liberty loss he probably still would have been fine. Then 2023 was 4-8 which any fanbase would be upset with.

That’s exaggerating a bit. Pittman was about to have his 4th straight season of less than 8 wins. Bielema only won 8 games once. Nutt averaged just under 8 wins per year and he lasted for a decade.

The AD Yurachek can’t stand Sexton ever since Arkansas was battling Ole Miss for Kiffin so I would find this hard to believe. Most of the rumored candidates have been Clint Dowdle clients.

Believe it or not that’s one reason some fans don’t want him as silly as that sounds

Yeah it sounds like they’re still trying there but there’s been so many smokescreens no one really knows. Golesh, Morris and Wommack continue to be the other three mentioned.
