"He that is without sin cast the first stone." We all make mistakes and we all want second chances when we do, I've never met one who didn't. I hope Bobby will come back and I salute Sam Pittman for having the guts to go after him if this is indeed the case.

Thank you LSUSMC for mentioning this. I appreciate it very much. I hope many will read your post.

Just a few years ago. Not that many.

Actually he was. He improved A&M's offense by 12 points per game. That's pretty good for just one year.

Hasn't Lane Kiffin made some mistakes over the years? I always believed in him and praise the Lord for his successes. We all make mistakes do we not? I know i sure have but I have learned from them and come back stronger and better. Why such a harsh attitude towards others that have had failures. We all have them.

I can only hope that this is true. He should have been disciplined for lying to the AD. Coach Pinkle got a DUI, he was disciplined for it. Lost alot of money. But was not fired. Nor should he have been. Neither should Bobby P. Frank Solich went through several similar incidents at Ohio U. He was disciplined but not fired. Pat Dye was "escorted" home by the Auburn police for various incidents but not fired. I could bring up many more examples. Jeff Long screwed Arkansas's program not Petrino. Now maybe we Arkansas fans can have some hope again.

My thoughts exactly. He totally mismanaged the offense. A throw away year is the result. Maybe he can fix the O line. That has to be fixed or it doesn't matter what else he does.

Couldn't have said it better myself. He's done a spectacular job.

Very much so. Stoops has proven he can coach I don't know why any school would'nt want him. I would love to have him at Arkansas.

Does anyone have an idea on why he was really retained? Boosters said no on the money to fire him and staff? Yuracheck just can't bear to fire the coach that HE hired? Yurachek tested the waters and no decent candidate was willing to come to Ark? Why was Miss.St. will to fire a coach in less than 1 season, but Ark not willing to fire a losing coach in the Fourth season? Is Miss.St just more committed to winning football than Ark? I can't figure it out.

Somebody Lincoln respects needs to call him and tell him that in order to go from a good to very good coach he needs to get his defensive priorities in order as well as offensive. Line of scrimmage also. If he can do that he can be great.

Of course there is something he is not telling us. Arkansas has no advantages in the SEC. Talent , coaching, schedule, whatever. It ain't good folks. We are now a Basketball, Track, Baseball and Women's Volleyball school. I wish i was wrong.

Very good article Ethan. It is impossible to predict what the team will do going forward but it is what it is. We don't have near the talent that Florida has nor do we have any better coaching either. Sam fixed the D that was broken and absoulutely ruined the O that wasn't broken. The last 2 seasons kj was running wild and now the short-sighted fans want him replaced but kj isn't the problem. The new scheme is and the O line is plus the departure of our good recievers is. Just too bad. I think Arkansas is the USCe of the west division only worse.

My bad "east's version of Arkansas"

I used to say USC is the west's version of Arkansas. But we have been SO bad under Morris and now Pittman I don't want to insult USC by saying it anymore. It's a tough job in the SEC. If you could of stayed in the ACC I don't think it would. Same for Ark. if we could of gone to the Big 12 instead of bolting for the SEC. Good Luck

I can't believe he didn't stay home and play for the Hogs. Really bummed out about this. He didn't even have us in his top 3! Wonder why? Oh well I would rather ya'll have him than Alabama or LSU.

I once dated an X-Ray tech. I think she saw something in me!

Does anyone know why Walker White didn't come to the UA? He didn't even have us in his top 3 I read.

Important to get coaches that aren't recommended by people that don't like you like coach Bielema got when someone (pro coach forgot who) recommended Curt Anderson for the line when coach Pittman left. Well that's the story I've heard it might not be true. Anyway they sound like good hires to me.

Also, many people thought he couldn't be successful running a smash mouth offensive system at Arkansas including myself were wrong. It was his defense that fell off starting with year 3. I figured it would be the other way around. You just never know.

Bert is a very good coach in my opinion. He did a very good job at Wiscky winning 3 championships and they haven't won the B1G since he left. His last 3 teams were year 5,6 and 7 so there were none of Alverez's players left. So when Wiscky fans talk about the former coaches players being the reason for his success they are lying. I also believe Bert learned alot while he was at Arkansas. Especially starting with his 3rd year. He is an even better coach now than he was then. I am glad for his success. Sure he ran his mouth a bunch and pis-ed off the Texas high school coaching fraternity which was dumb. But he learned. His teams played hard and behaved themselves off the field very well. Team Academics were good too. Just my take.

Baloney on talent not being there. According to 247 sports team talent rankings UF has the 14th most talented roster in CFB. Oregon St. has the 54th. Billy is just over his head.

UF beat Kirby just 2 years ago. They can beat him again.

OSU is 10-3. Doesn't sound too average to me. Actually a 6-6 team should'nt be playing a 9-3 team to start with. But it was a serious but whoppin.

Correction on number 7th ranked roster that's for 2021. For 2022 it's the 14th ranked roster according to 247. Still pretty good top 15 lot of schools will never have that highly ranked roster.

Very concerning. Lots of transfers. I know it's happening all over but this is troubling. Kansas liable to pull out a V over us. Sure will hate to see it.

I wanted Geoff Collins. But I don't think that many coaches want to come to coach the 10th best roster in the SEC. (According to the 247 team talent rankings)

I don't know where all this Dan Mullen didn't recruit nonsense comes from. ON the 247 team talent rankings Fla. is ranked #7 in CFB. Number 7!!! There is talent all over the field for Florida. Billy Napier is just trying to get things figured out at a school where you better know what you're doing when you get hired and that's the problem. Also Too many sun-belt coaches on his staff (just like chad morris when he came to Arkansas.) Billy is the problem. Should've kept Mullen 3 very good seasons out of 4 ain't bad. Y'all screwed up.

With all the opt-outs this was probably going to be a loss but this was an old fashioned but-whoppin, no an ambush! It's not fair to match a 6-6 with a 9-3 from the outset but with the quitters missing from Florida's roster it really was unfair. We're going to see more of this from SEC teams because so many of our teams have NFL talent but it's hard to watch. Still 9-3 should not be playing 6-6 in bowl games that's just plain not right. In closing Mullin should not have been fired off just one bad year after 3 very good years. Fla. kind of asked for this to a certain extent. He just should have been told to fire his D coordinator and reevaluate his recruiting priorities. Now you have to start all over again.

It worked out pretty sweat for O.M. fans. Get to keep Kiffin, NIL gets blown up in a way that probably was not going to happen before. I'd say O.M. fans should be pretty happy. Leach is a winner. He finds ways to keep beating teams he shouldn't. The SEC just keeps getting tougher. Makes for an interesting future.
