Hope he coaches as tough as his look.

[Hogeration]

Hope he can recruit.

[Hogs run wild]

ok...

[Hogberry Snortcake]

Seems really solid.  Not the big name folks had hoped for, I suppose.  NFL experience and 3-4 knowledge with time spent all across the South (incl. Texas).   

[The_Boot_stops_here]

resume isn't all that but hey, Bielema has made some solid hires over time so let's see what happens

[hogwild6700]

Based on his resume-he's a perfect fit here.

[FraggleHog]

ok...

Just curious... Who did you want? The guy has extensive knowledge of managing a 3-4 defensive line which was vital in his selection.

[WriterWrong]

Kurt Anderson 2.0.

[Hog10S]

I think he could be fine.  I just was never under the impression that TT ever played defense and that is where Scott last coached in college, just a couple of years ago.  When they couldn't stop us from running the first time we played them.

[hogblitz]

NFL Defensive Line "Assistant".   Hope it does not work out like our current NFL Offensive Line "Assistant"! 

On the bright side, there is NO WAY our defense could be any worse next season as a whole!

[Oklahawg]

The resume smacks of someone who will connect with players on the recruiting trail.

I would bet Paul Rhoads had a heavy role in this decision.

[FraggleHog]

Kurt Anderson 2.0.

Give the dude more than 1 year... He recruited OLinemen based on what he wants. Geez

[Oklahawg]

someone with a strong recruiting resume maybe.  I think Bielema puts more emphasis on coaching ability than recruiting.

I actually think this guy will become a fine recruiter.

[TechHawg]

He "resigned" at Texas Tech. Did he resign the same way Robb Smith resigned? I know everyone will spin this to make it positive, but I don't see how this can be viewed as a great hire. 

[The_Boot_stops_here]

We shall see.  Certainly nothing to indicate that at this point.  But maybe he just needs this opportunity....

[Wildhog]

Wanted a proven recruiter.  Didn't get one.

[RazorPiggie]

You just never know who CBB will hire. haha. Here's to hoping.

[Hogfan46]

All the pieces seem to be there for him. Played the position, extensive 3-4 knowledge, coached players that were successful and made the NFL, coached in a P5 conference and the NFL, and  recruited in Texas.
He's young so he should be an energetic and aggressive recruiter.
Time to welcome him to the family, support him and wish him great success.

[TechHawg]

Didn't get a proven recruiter or a proven coach. O for 2.

[The_Iceman]

Kurt Anderson 2.0.

Kurt Anderson did a solid job turning 3 new starters... one being a former DL, one being a walkon, and one never having any previous playing time....into a decent Oline group by the end of the season.

I'm not sure why so many fans hate on him. Look at what he had to work with and the final result and improvement.

[The_Boot_stops_here]

I don't know if this guys will work out or not but, frankly, Segrest probably had a better resume than this guy

Not true if you you look at his early coaching hires, it's changed recently.  Maybe he is realizing that a coach who can schmooze talk a HS kid, isn't enough to get talent to come here, and is trying to emphasize coaching.

[Big Daddy]

3 Star. But BB will develop.

[Earth Hog Fan]

Scott spent two years with the Jets and previously coached at Buffalo and Texas Tech. The hire comes as Arkansas moves to a 3-4 defense.

Geez we tuned this dude up for 450+ yds in 2014.  Not getting warm fuzzies about this.

Well, you literally just disagreed and agreed with me all in the first sentence alone.  While I agree that recruiting can't be the only focus, I do believe in a healthy balance between coaching and recruiting and I'm not sure that we have it...

[Atlhogfan1]

Brings great 3-4 experience.

Familiar with some places we recruit like Texas and Ga.


Another assistant hire with zero SEC experience.  No idea from a collegiate perspective what he will be up against 8 weeks out of the season.  Learning curve on what level of players he needs to put on the field to have success at this level of college football.  Has never recruited on a level on which we try to compete. 


No issue with the hire.  Just expect him to have some adjusting to do.  As far as teaching technique and responsibility for dlinemen in the 3-4, I trust he knows what he is doing.

saying all that, why would you have "no issue" with the hire?  He may be great but there is certainly reason to not be overly excited...

[hogcard1964]

Here's to everyone claiming it's a great hire and not knowing anything about him!!!!

[oldman1015]

ok then

[a0ashle]

I merely pointed out that he had recruiters early, and it's not provided results, maybe that explains the shift away from known recruiting commodities.

[Razorbackers]

Kurt Anderson 2.0.

Our offensive line had a DT, a GT, and a walkon starting.

We had the leading rusher and passer in the conference.

Just saying.

[rljjr]

This is perfect. If he had been a guy that Hogville loved and slobbered over then he probably would have tanked. This way you guys get to hate on him early and can be impressed (please, please, please) with the results from live games.

[Atlhogfan1]

I'm not excited. 

[Hogfan46]

Here's to supporting our new DL coach until he shows us a reason not to.

[Wildhog]

I'm not excited. 

There's no reason to be excited about anything related to Hog football.

[hogcard1964]

Once again, here's to everyone claiming it's a great hire and not knowing a damn thing about him.

[HardingHog]

Interesting and like usual, no one we would've guessed we'd hire him. He's spent time in the Carolinas, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas as a college assistant. Nothing says that he's a home run hire or anything, but I guess we shall see. Hopefully his personality, experience in several big recruiting areas along with his younger age and ethnicity will prove him to be a valuable asset in recruiting

Good luck, Coach Scott because most everyone here probably doesn't like you already

[hogcard1964]

Can't we use a wait and see approach?  Maybe?

[Hogfan46]

There's no reason to be excited about anything you post related to Hog football.

[Hayden1865]

Once again, here's to everyone claiming it's a great hire and not knowing a damn thing about him.

And the other half of Hogville saying he is an awful hire without knowing a damn thing about him.

[rljjr]

Can't we use a wait and see approach?  Maybe?

I think that's what he's doing, as opposed to you using the same meme in two separate threads.
