Oh yeah! Do they play in the SEC?

Go back to watching ETSU football

I think that could have been a good choice SD, howdy btw, but a lot of that has to do with how he conducted himself while he was here, and I'm not talking about the way he left. It was his dream job, he got some bad advice, shoulda listened to his dad.

He's 10 years older now. Here is Arkansas' take on Kiffin.

"Kiffin's success at Florida Atlantic can't be understated. That's going to land him a job in the SEC; it's just a matter of which one. This would be a risky hire for Arkansas, but if he brings offensive coordinator Kendal Briles with him the Razorbacks will put up points right away. There's a high-risk factor here, but Kiffin's success can't be ignored much longer."

I agree, but...you know the Kym Jung Un tweet, sure doesn't help...He also didn't burn Arkansas with NCAA junk and virtually a whole class that didn't pan out.

He is a BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT offensive guy and I'd swallow my pride to win some football games...but I COMPLETELY understand how anyone left from THAT admin would want nothing to do with him...and you should too.

How's Donnie doing?

I got a hunch the tweet was fake news. Makes no sense. Can you even imagine the buyers' remorse if we get Leach and Arkansas gets Kiffin especially when they start beating Alabama?

On your last question, the suit against the NCAA is close to being filed in federal court. It is a long process. Last year he was an assistant coach for Raptors 905, the Toronto Raptors Development league team which won the 17 team league championship. This year he is scouting for the Raptors.

I'm gonna slow roll...7-8 wins first year, recruiting picks up and then we win an extra game for a year or two toward the SEC East and then who knows...patience has to be a part of the "fan" plan...realistically can't really expect to win the SEC East the first year...I mean c'mon man...let's don't get too stupid...:):)

GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering how long that would take and as it turns out...fry up 4 strips of bacon and to legomyeggo waffles and off to school he goes...

I admire your persistence SD.

Have a nice day.



Arghhhhhhhhhh!

Arkansas is primed to hire Kiffin of we don't. Got to wait till after the championship game. "Kiffin's success at Florida Atlantic can't be understated. That's going to land him a job in the SEC; it's just a matter of which one. This would be a risky hire for Arkansas, but if he brings offensive coordinator Kendal Briles with him the Razorbacks will put up points right away.

Schedule next year is pretty brutal-no matter who the coach is.

I would be thrilled with a minor bowl game in 2018 (6 wins) with noted improvement as the season goes.

From there an 8 win second season should not be out of the question

After that, from the third year forward to compete with the big boys

A coach that can actually figure out how to beat another team with lesser talent. I do not think Butch ever out schemed another team.

I know I'm quoting Arkansas but if you think we're a laughing stock now can you even imagine what it would be like if Arkansas steals Lane Kiffin out from under our noses and starts beating Alabama while we are stuck in mediocrity with Leach or some other unnamed coach?? They are licking their chops waiting on us to blow this up.

Clay Travis quote on Arkansas quest. "As for Arkansas, do you know who my top target would be if I was hiring for the Razorbacks? Lane Kiffin.

I’m serious.

Kiffin’s FAU offense put up over 800 yards, scored on 11 straight possessions and finished with 69 points against North Texas this past Saturday. In his first year at FAU Lane Kiffin is going to take an FAU team that finished 3-9 in Conference USA last year and he’s going to win the conference."


I think Kiffin at Arkansas would have the chance to be special."
This is the team FAU is playing in the championship game.

My goodness, what a difference a week makes and by the way was a finalist for the Division 1 Coach of the Year (8 names).
