Welcome, you have some talent in place, so lets add to it this offseason, and take the West next year.

Welcome Coach Pelphrey.  I hope you don't mind beating your former teams (Kentucky & Florida), because that is our intentions.

GO HOGS GO!!!!

I hope you are here 30 years!!!
The first thing I heard today was that he grew up on a pig farm. That's quite a start in my book. And my last memory was watching him hang 70 on Nebraska. Just those two facts are enough (for me to like him). Then, I hear that he's out of the Hayden Fry-Bill Snyder-Barry Alvarez coaching tree. Oh, that's enough for me to like a lot. Then, I hear he's got a 27-year-old wife. Okay, we can stop. I like him.

Arkansas is expected to go 3-0 in the Sun Belt this season. The Hogs had only one other spot to add a Sun Belt team, but filled that nonconference spot with Division I-AA Chattanooga for War Memorial Stadium in October.

Pelphrey turned down USF. Give him a chance and I think you will be surprised. He has good mentors and I guarantee you these coaches that he worked for will help him to be successful.

It's just you. With a new coach in place, it serves no purpose to continue bashing anyone.
Utmost priority now is to re-recruit current players AND begin to sell the program to recruits. Further griping on this or any other board is detrimental to that end, and only brings more of the same.
I have been a darksider on many issues but what is done is done....let's get behind JP fully.
To think that a bunch of annonomous posters is going to inluence the PTB is foolish and fruitless.

So let me see if I got this right... Heath was fired, got hired by USF.  USF had the choice of Heath and Pelphrey and they took Heath.  Where did we upgrade in a basketball coach????

He pulled his name from consideration at USF.  They wanted Pelphrey and Marshall, and when they couldn't get them they went after Heath.  Kind of like Mark Turgeon pulling his name from consideration at Arkansas yesterday and pursuing the A&M job instead...Sad!  And i'm sure bigger name guys like Kennedy, Anderson, and others turned us down as well.  But i think we've got a good one, so let's make all those idiots out there who turned us down sorry when we routinely wipe the floor with them.

Welcome Coach! I feel refreshed as a fan and excited to have him here! Funny how the guy never mentioned is the guy who gets it done! (hopefully)...Eddie Sutton, Nolan Richardson...both "unknowns" when they arrived at Arkansas and put the Hogs on the map! Hope he is as hungry to win as we are!!!!  GO HOGS GO!!!!!

I will fully support you after 48 hrs. I just wanna make sure you aren't gonna go Altman on us.

After that PC I take this back. This guy is awesome. I think we finally did something right and hired the best coach for the job.

Welcom, Coach Pelphrey!  and to those who are wondering, this is a great hire!

now, for those of you who are screaming for a big name coach, let me ask you people something: When the *%&*% do you think U of A became a big time hiring program???

Get real!!!

In my lifetime, UA has hired Eddie Sutton (from tiny Creighton - worked out pretty well), then Nolan Richardson (from UTEP - two trips to natl championship, one title), then Stan Heath (from Kent State - not so great)!!!

I am a UA alum, and love the Hogs!  I love the Bball team and Walton Arena and the whole shebang!!!

but to say we should be able to hire big name coaches with the same ease as UK or Indiana or Kansas or UCLA is really a joke!!! 

We need to be real... the UA is NOT 'one of the best 10 bball jobs out there', as some seem to believe!!!  Especially with JFB at the helm... he will ALWAYS try to hire on the cheap!

and we usually hire someone who does OK... now... when we win two or three titles or consistently go to the sweet 16 or final 4, then we may be the kind of program you folks are fantasizing about...

but for now:  WELCOME JP!

It was great to see the press conference and realize that we finally have a coach who knows something about the SEC. A lot of other names have been mentioned for the job but did they were all  :razorback:pretty much clueless about life on the road in our conference. Lets hope our new guy gets the fan support that will enable him to always bleed "Razorback Red" in place of "Kentucky Blue"!

Arkansas made a great hire in John Pelphrey.

As a player he was coached by Eddie Sutton and Rick Petino.  As a Coach, he coached under Sutton and Billy Donovan. Nice pedigree!

His teams are exciting and his players are loyal to him.  This was a great hire by Arkansas.  He is a very good recruiter.

Players should love his style and program.  There were a lot of people wanting him for the Sooner job when OK replaced Sampson.

This will be a home run if the fan base quits going stupid and Wally Hall will shut up!

Pelphrey withdrew from the USF search before Heath was hired. He would have stayed at S. Alabama rather than go to USF.

Looking forward to watching Hog Ball again!
