Northwest Arkansas is a more affluent area and nicer place to live than most of the towns in the SEC though. I mean heck Baton Rouge is pretty run down and dirty but Louisiana’s in-state talent and the prestige of LSU’s program is what attracts recruits. I’m not sure any of that matters as much now with kids following the $$$ over everything else like what Texas Tech is doing.

What’s the word on the coaching search for the Hogs around town?

Some smoke around Matt Campbell. Iowa St has kind of fallen off the past few seasons, but that would be a solid hire for Arky.

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.

He was talking about Drink to Auburn. The Barn is in a tough spot right now. Their system for success is outdated. You can't rely on the whims of one super booster to sustain success on the football field since the implementation of NIL and the portal.

Auburn as a program has never really sustained success in football. They've always been a very volatile, up-and-down program going back to the Shug Jordan days.

The coach that probably brought the most consistency to their program was Tuberville, and he was a fairly inconsistent coach.

He'd be an absolute idiot to take that job. Arkansas wants to run coaches off the second they start winning less than 8 or 9 games even though they've never been a consistent 8 or 9 win program, and he'd have no equity there because their fanbase (or any SEC fanbase) doesn't respect what he's done at Iowa St.

The most Lane thing ever would be him stringing along both lsu and florida until he finally says no thanks after they are well behind everyone else. He wins because he weakened 2 SEC rivals. He wins because his employer has a pay raise prepared. He wins because his name has been in the media more than the Dallas Cowboys. Love him or hate him, he plays this game like nobody else. And manages to bounce back even more popular each time.

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 grumbling about Pittman began in 2022 and then there were widespread calls for his firing during 2023. When Petrino was forced on him before the 2024 season, he was a dead man walking.

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.

I think it was more about the massive falloff in quality of product once Kendall Briles left. As long as Pittman had him on staff, he was somewhat steady.

He also beat a pretty good Cincy team in the opener, a South Carolina team that ended up finishing #19, a decent BYU team in Provo, and upset an Ole Miss team who was ranked #14 at the time and had been as high as #7.
