Arkansas offensive coordinator Dan Enos has received a raise to $800,000 for 2017 and a contract extension with automatic salary escalators for the next two seasons.
Enos, 48, signed the amendment to his contract, which the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette received through a public records request, on Jan. 5.
The new deal will pay him $850,000 in 2018 and $900,000 in 2019.....

[Razorbackers]

Good. He definitely was on some short lists this year for different positions around the country, and that was with a young and unexperienced offense. If 2017 plays out like it could/we hope, he might be getting some serious offers.

[The Hawg Marshal]

That is a welcome development.

[Dillon]

Enos should be made a million dollar coordinator if he has a good year next year. He makes us exciting to watch, unpredictable, and coaches QB's like a pro.

[Biggus Piggus]

Smith wrote, in part, "In reviewing this season we obviously didn't meet our internal expectations on defense. To be perfectly clear, as defensive coordinator I take full responsibility for the results of the defense. In discussing solutions with Coach Bielema it has become clear we have philosophical differences on how to get better results.

"Given our differences, it seems in the best interest of everyone involved that I move on. I am grateful to Coach B for the opportunity he gave me and on behalf of my family want to say thanks to the many Razorback fans that supported and befriended us along the way."

I fully expect this thread to be full of pissing and moaning because Razorback fans aren't the brightest:

The TRUTH is this.  Coach Enos has improved our quarterback play tremendously since he has been here.  I've been to every open practice that we've had and watching him work individual drills with quarterbacks is awesome.  He puts the QBs through a series of footwork, bag, pocket awareness, and target drills like I've never seen.  I look forward to seeing Austin progress and Cole develop under Coach Enos' guidance.

[Arkansas Fan]

Well, the truth is that the offense failed to do their jobs in the second half of games. I like Enos, but he ain't perfect and still gotta improve.

I'll just wait until someone disagrees with me.

Give him an offensive line and he's fine.

[BentonvilleJeff]

The offensive problems we had last year were because of an inexperienced OL, brand new starters at QB, RB, and TE. I thought he did well considering all the new faces as starters. Glad he's sticking around. We need continuity on offense.

Defense was supposed to be our strength with all the starters we had coming back and they failed miserably. That's why Smith is gone and Enos got a raise.

[tophawg19]

not to mention the defense put the offense in a hole in the 2nd half of both those games . our field position sucked

[Arkansas Fan]

Give him an offensive line and he's fine.

Sure, I agree. However, even with a better O-line that doesn't guarantee Enos having massive success.

I am curious about the "differences".

Obviously CBB didn't think Smith's scheme was going to get it done.  I doubt Smith is going to switch to the 3-4 at Minnesota.

[Sivad]

Yes it is.

[Jim Harris]

So if Arkansas could score in the second half, would he get $1.6 million?

Everybody needs to improve..... especially on a 7-6 team.  However, our quarterback play has been good to great under Enos. It's nice seeing us utilize innovative screens for a change. Our biggest flaw on offense was protecting the quarterback.  Losing 3 offensive linemen starters caused some issues. 

The truth is that we need consistency on offense.  Enos has developed a solid game plan but will need to tweak things to ensure we stay strong in the 2nd half.  I'm glad we kept him on staff.

[Bebop]

Are you sure that it was about the defensive schematic and not something else?

[King Kong]

LSU's last OC made about that and did much worse than Dan

[PorkRinds]

Are you sure that it was about the defensive schematic and not something else?

Yeah. CBB texted me and told me it was all schematic and not something else.

[LZH]

Good play-caller and fantastic quarterback coach. Yes he has been inconsistent, but if it weren't for him we would have been 3 - 9 for the last couple of years.

[Jim Harris]

LSU's last OC made about that and did much worse than Dan

Cam Cameron took a $300,000 pay cut for 2016 from his $1.5 million salary he got in 2015, and I hope he was able to get all of that for the four games he coached. Then, per game, he did really really well.

[Smalltownhog95]

The offense was supposed to take a huge step back this year because of new faces at every position except WR. While it did take a step back it wasn't near as big as expected and many problems are solved with consistent Offensive Line play. All in all Enos seems to be worth the raise.

That's for proving me correct

[TNhawgfan]

Text him and ask if we're getting a new DL coach

[factchecker]

We went scoreless 4 times in the second half (3 were goose-eggs, 1 field goal vs. LSU).  Any game you go scoreless in a half is unacceptable.  We have to improve this part of our game.

However, Enos did have some good 2nd half/late game touchdown drives and play calls:

[HamSammich]

Didn't hogville demand, want, and applaud the rob smith raise and extension? I'll wait to judge.

[lumphog]

He said......And a Partridge in a pear tree

[Bebop]

In other words, you have no idea.

For some reason (might be my server) I can't see the videos. But the TCU game and the execution by the offense (OC, his QB and the rest of the O) in that game in the last two minutes and in OT was magical. Tons of fun to watch in person in a great stadium too. Sure seemed like TCU was winning that one with about 2 minutes or so to play, whatever it was, when they were up 28-20. Enos has been a very solid hire, no doubt.

[Jim Harris]

That's for proving me correct

If you think $1.2 million or even the $1.5 million he made the year before is the same as making $1.6 million, sure, you're right.

[HamSammich]

Yeah same was said before here about rob smith. I don't repeat history if I can bubba.... sorry some people are actually intelligent.   The problem is far deeper than assistants. Jump on that Enos band wagon. I'm sure you are right and he will be HC of Ohio state soon.

Youtube is weird like that.  Try opening the videos in a seperate browser.

I agree that the final drive and overtime performance against TCU was amazing.  Wish I could have been there.  I only missed two games this past season.  I'm glad I missed the other one (Auburn).

[Dillon]

Next year, Enos will make less than Rob Smith made in 2016. 800k isn't going to keep him here long term. When you find your guy, you lock him up. And I absolutely believe Enos is CBB's guy and worth every dollar. We are competitive with assistants and head coach pay, but Arkansas needs to step it up with coordinator pay. Enos has a bit to prove, but if he does this well again next year, it's time for a big raise or we risk losing our best assistant and settling for more turnover and a downgrade at OC.

[HamSammich]

Hogville is nothing more than a zest pool of unintelligent group thought. You all love enos and will hate him and CBB in two years. I choose to think for myself

A zest pool smells a lot better than a cesspool, don't it

I think Enos' offense worked much better with Hunter Henry AND Jeremy Sprinkle in '15 than it did with Sprinkle and whoever in '16, especially considering that Sprinkle had to stay at home and help the OL so damn much.

Absolute truth!  We lost our QB, Hunter Henry, Alex Collins, and half our OLine!  Find another OC capable of producing our O last year with the talent available to UA and then pay him $1M.  Good luck with that.

Anything less would be uncivilized.

The definition of the word About- used to indicate movement in an area.

Are you supposed to know what words mean as a professional writer?

So to prove your intelligence over me you make bandwagon two words

[ballz2thewall]

i have to agree with biggus on this one. basically every offensive woe we suffer is OL related.

[HamSammich]

So to prove your intelligence over me you make bandwagon two words

Lol

[hawginbigd1]

Here is my take, don't know all the ins and outs of the deal, however extension I would be fine with. Raise, I could agree if it was performance based. I don't believe he earned a raise, that is my sticking point. Now if BB had to do it to keep him, I can see that. More than a couple games I would say he mismanaged, and QB play regressed through the season, so raise is hard to be excited about.

Translation I Robb Smith am a moron who should quit coaching and hope for a career in the circus. I am sorry that I wasted the fans time with my ineptitude please forgive my crap of a product and I owe yall a total refund of what I made for doing a pisspoor job.

[Jonteviosk]

Its already settled. Biggus is officially calling all offensive plays inside the redzone.

[jgphillips3]

Absolutely deserved.  What he did this year with perhaps the worst offensive line in modern history and a first time starting QB was pretty darned good.  As the season wore on and teams knew they could blow past the Guards on a straight line to the QB, it came off track but he still did a good job and his offense is well designed.  It is capable of using Bielema's preferences and generating the type of gaudy statistics of the more finesse offenses.  I love our use of tight ends (similar in concept to New England's use of them in some ways) and the screens he added this year because of the line breakdowns and aggressive rush.  I look forward to seeing what he cooks up with a new batch of receivers, three healthy and experienced tailbacks (well...two experienced) and a better line next year.
