He should be our first call, honestly.  But he's likely too unknown for the "name" crowd and too unNorvell for the Norvell crowd.  He's a far better fit in every way, except he didn't play for an Arkansas team.

I mean...personally, I feel like if we're hiring the HC from UTSA, that is a last option hire. He very well could be a great HC, but you show me a coach in the SEC who hired a guy who is 11-11 as a HC from a conference like CUSA that panned out.

Not to be mean or anything.

I'm not gonna lie. I started to scoff at this idea and then i read the 24/7 article. This guy is legit. He sounds like the real deal. Not a bad option.

What was the record at the program before he got there? Just so we can put his record into context.

[SONofHAM]

He checks all the boxes...except being from Arkansas or having played here.

If I remember, he took them to their first bowl in a while? Or am I mixing up the schools down there. I might be thinking of UTEP.

That's not a box for me. I don't care if the new coach is from mars.

Right.  Which is why I said he should be a fallback option.

True, you did say that. My bad.

Just looked it up. They started football in 2006 with Larry Corker as HC. They weren't eligible for bowl games, but they actually would have probably went bowling had they been. Wilson took over last year, and lead them to their first bowl game, but not their best overall record.

So it's a really new program, and he's took them bowling, which is a positive for sure.

He’s more than likely going to get a big gig in 2 years. I see him eventually at LSU

[Hawginj]

I am a fan he is in my top 5

That's the only negative is that he would leave for LSU if he is successful.  He has coached at Tennessee as well.

What about Bill Clark from UAB who beat UTSA last week in San Antonio as a TD underdog?  He has done a phenomenal job there getting that program back on track.

I agree 100%
