To be clear I absolutely hate both of them, just trying to get some jokes off on the message board! We got enough stress ahead of us this week, if we can't enjoy some "Deion to Arkansas" **** posting now then what are we even doing?

no stress, run run run the ball until FSPoo can prove they can stop it. Hit the little guy with the ball on the other side.
 
Arkansas is stuck in purgatory. Yes they have a fanbase and big money boosters, but they have schools immediately next to them with just as big of fanbases and moneyed boosters. The state of Arkansas also produces much less talent than people think. Their recruiting strategy has basically been fighting for 3/4 star scraps in TX/OK/LA, and whatever talent pops up in Arkansas/the Memphis area. Whoever takes that job better accept the fact that they are likely gone in 3 years due to delusions of grandeur from the fans/school. They'll probably make a lazy hire and keep Petrino lol.

That just means Arkansas has to invest on par with Texas Tech. They have allowed themselves to get behind Texas Tech, Baylor, SMU, and TCU in Texas recruiting. They can get the money together to make themselves a factor in Texas recruiting.

You know who I could see them trying to poach?

Dabo. He fits the mold of the calipari hire they just made in basketball. The only issue is he’s not big on NIL or the portal. But I wouldn’t be surprised to hear they are kicking the tires on that with the Walmart and Tyson money.

Arkansas has money money boosters and they have won high stakes recruiting battles the last couple of years. If they get the right HC, no reason why they can’t take Missouri’s program. Not a NC threat but a perennial threat to win 10 games and make the playoffs. Arkansas is also a more coach friendly job than say Auburn or LSU, just look at how long they have Pittman. He would have been fired 18 months ago at Auburn.

They gonna offer someone 8+ million, plus staff and NIL resources. People gonna be lining up for the job.

I’ve got my eye on LSU…this Petrino thing must make Kelly happy, suddenly there’s somehow a less like Coach in the SEC.

It would cost LSU over 50 million to fire Kelly plus another 4-5 million for the staff buyout and then whatever it would take to hire a new staff.

How many years does LSU football coach Brian Kelly have left on his contract?

LSU football coach Brian Kelly enters year four with the Tigers. Here's how many years remain on Kelly's contract with the Tigers.

They don’t got that kind of scratch. Of course knowing those Cajuns, a dead hooker in the trunk is never off the table.

Most likely, Kelly sacrifices his OC Joe Sloan and buys himself another couple of seasons ala what he did with his DC a couple years ago. When the buyout is down to $25-30 then watch out,.
