Chris Beard. The Muss bus got close. Beard is next level.
Many thanks to Muss and hoping the bus drives well at USC. Chris Beard. As a long time criminal defense lawyer in Texas, the ease in which these kind of accusations are brought is well documented. The allegations were dropped, by the way. Beard is a proven winner on the court. He likes Arkansas. I like him.
It will be interesting to see what, if any, kind of impact Petrino may have on KJ's decision. Lamar Jackson had a similar build and skillset at Louisville and won the Heisman by running and passing for an insane amount of yardage. Regardless, many thanks to KJ and wishing him all the best.
Mix thoughts, but it will be interesting, regardless. Petrino coached Lamar Jackson, a dual threat quarterback, into the FBS record books. Jackson had 3,660 passing yards, 1,601 rushing yards in 2017; 3,543 passing yards, 1,571 rushing yards in 2016. He won the Heisman trophy at Louisville. KJ may want to hear him out.
If you're truly looking for a fit, go after someone who runs a Briles like offense. The vast majority of the players came to the Arkansas to play tempo offensively. Their skillset is compatible with the same. Unless you're of the Bret Bielema fan club, Enos was a horrific hire. Hindsight is always perfect, but Sam should have known better.
Legitimate points. I read somewhere that Malzahn wanted to eventually retire in Arkansas, but not coach there. His wife was quoted, though I'm not sure of the validity.
Agree on Traylor. I don't like the Morris connection, but he is a legend HS coach, here in Texas. Excellent recruiter and UTSA has risen from the ashes.
There are a number of OCs who run a Briles like tempo offense, some of whom likely do it better. KJ's decision may have much to do with the style of offense that Sam has in mind, assuming that he is still the HC.
Personally, if the Razorbacks are going to bring back an Arkansas native, I would much prefer Barry Lunney, Jr. Lunney successfully ran a tempo offense at UTSA and though struggling early, likely having something to do with Bielema, the Illini lit it up last weekend against Indiana. He also recruits well.
As with most, I love Pittman, but honestly, the season has been a disaster. Given the skill set of returning players, Dan Enos was a terrible fit. That's on Sam. It's an expensive undertaking to attend a ballgame in Fayetteville, and fans have a right to expect (much) better.
Like most, I love Sam Pittman. The Enos hire was horrific and brought an offensive system which has not been compatible with the available talent. The issue has been corrected; though @ mid-season, which obviously may be problematic. The defense has been salty and for the most part solid, to Pittman's credit and the new DC. The next few weeks should be interesting. Hoping for the best.
I would agree. Pitt may have made a bad hire with Enos, but it happens. He's strong on recruiting and the portal and probably more of an Arkie than I am; having lived out of state for many years. Good luck to you guys the rest of the way. Go Hogs.
Best wishes to Barry Odem at UNLV. Dog days of summer, but we're slowly getting to some football. Woo Pig.
Love these guys, and hopefully, they will land with the right team[s]. Go Hogs!
Regardless of outcome, I love this kid. He and Anthony Black were warriors this past season, every game. Hopefully, he will get some solid information from the NBA folks.
Welcome to Khalif Battle. After Anthony Black's announcement, number 0 seems to continue to be in good hands.
AB played hurt for much of the season and is a true warrior. Love the kid and will miss him, but totally understand the decision. Go Hogs.
HUGE. TB was gaining momentum and on his way to a magical season before the injury. His return should solidify the team with a veteran's presence, and hopefully, help make for a deep run in the NCAA tourney. Love this kid. Woo Pig.
I've seen multiple reports, and supposedly the group handling Smith's NIL business has done the same thing with some of their other athletes/clients/whatever. Again, hopefully, the reporting is false, but I would agree, the "knee management" thing sounds a little hokie. If the reporting is accurate and the agency plans to represent Smith at the next level, it sure seems like a conflict of interest, under the circumstances. It would likely present an uncomfortable situation for Muss and the other guys on the team, also.
It has been reported that Nick Smith's NIL management group, soon to be his professional agency, will not allow him to play. Hopefully, the reports are not true and unfounded. If true, imo, Smith should return his scholarship. An ongoing, season long distraction, I would think, regardless. Go Hogs.
I always liked Dan Enos. He's a smart guy and an excellent quarterback coach. If KJ stays - and hopefully, he will - there should be some major benefits to his passing game. On the flip side, the current Razorback commitments, especially at the skill positions, are a bit of a concern. Time will tell. However, the Maryland offensive statistics were impressive. Taulia Tagovailoa threw for more than 3,000 yards and the running game exceeded 1,800 yards. Not a lot of rushing yardage with the quarterbacks. It will be an interesting fit. Woo Pig.
Mixed emotions about Enos. Excellent quarterback coach and a smart dude. Little concerned about his style of play and how it will impact recruiting class.
Happy to hear of DMc's return. New DCs off to a good start.
I would hate to see Briles leave, especially given the KJ situation. If true, Barry Lunney would make for a viable OC, imo. As a former Razorback coach and quarterback, he should be able to "coach up" the position and recruit well.
Very pleased to see KB stay another year. The manner in which KJ Jefferson has developed is remarkable. Most OCs will call a few bad plays, but the body of work on Briles speaks for itself. Woo Pig.
I could have sworn that Petrino was just hired as OC at UNLV? Some things never change.
Other than a few obnoxious fans, as will be the case in every major college venue, NW Arkansas is a very nice place to live. Briles is liked by most and well paid. The money will continue to flow. Imo, he will stay until the right HC opportunity comes along.
