What will the impact be on recruiting?

Are the small number of commits hard to the UofA or BB or their position coach?

Would an early BB exit help considering we get a good/great hire?

I'll hang up and listen.

Get the right coach...ahem...Norvell....and it will improve....

I can't say for all of them, but you'd have to think they would be commits to the school as much as anything. They don't live in a bubble and they have to know that a change is inevitable.  That being said, I also know that Norvell has been recruiting several of the kids including Connor Nowland.  I don't think it matters as much with that kid though as I think he wants to be a diamond hog as much as a qb, which is awesome.

Hey PRJ

Do you feel like Norvell will be target #1?

factchecker

1. I don't think IF is applicable anymore.  It's now WHEN.

2.  The impact will probably be greater on the current roster than recruiting.  A change in coaching usually results in a change in philosophy.  There will be some players who might transfer due to style.  That is not necessarily a bad thing.

I believe he is one of Two.

I keep getting this nauseous feeling in my stomach about Gus though.

I've seen where one recruiting "guru" said he thought at least 6 would stay no matter who the coach was, I'm assuming he was thinking no JLS hire.....

We have 12 scholarships to offer.  I think Half would be Hogs no matter what.    I think any new coach's ability to improve or hurt this class is pretty nominal.

Not sure why Norvell would perform at recruiting any better than CBB.  Maybe a little excitement about being the new guy, but he'll still be a relative unknown to most recruits...selling his success at Memphis.  I like the guy, and think he *might* make a good HC at Arkansas, but I doubt he recruits any better than CBB...unless he goes all Freeze on us. ;)

No....I don't because Long isn't going to make the decision this time.

And there are some voices for Gus. The anti Gus people ain't got a dog in the fight this time.

I think he would recruit the heck out of east Texas.

We may have a dry spell for a year or so, then it will pick back up to be where we normally are. Hopefully, a top 15 class every year would be a dream.

The $$$$ doesn't want Gus, so no Gus. We won't be looking backwards. Gus has 0.0%. His name may be floated, but if they beat Georgia, it won't even be floated. Unless, something drastic changes it'll most likely be Norvell or Neal Brown.

Are you sure about $$$ not wanting Gus?

Don't be so sure about Gus. He has more support than you apparently realize. And yes, I know a lot of the $$$$.

I don't see improvement in whomever is coach is. Even with (in the minds of many) the legendary Bobby P,we stayed in the same mid twenty range we ALWAYS have.

No he says its Horton and maybe Gus...for now.

Better than the last 2 or 3 regimes?  I doubt it.  That's the most heavily recruited area in Texas, and I see no reason to be optimistic about an unknown coach being successful out of the gate.  Maybe he'll develop it, but I don't think that'll be the case on day 1... or year 1.  Someone with an immediate recruiting impact is more likely to be someone who has name recognition with a record of success at a big program.  If you look at Long's coaching hires over his career, he goes after big names...and yes, I think he will be the guy doing the hiring if/when there's an opening.  It would be a departure of sorts for him to hire someone like Norvell.  We'll see.  If CBB isn't fired, Hogville will become a fantastic spectator sport.  If he is fired, Hogville is at its best during the hiring process.  It's going to be an interesting next several weeks, regardless.

It may take a dip this cycle, but every coach has recruited about the same.

There's no scenario where Gus leaves Auburn to come here, but if he's fired it may be mentioned. If he wins against Auburn or Alabama there's no way he'll be fired. Not sure why his name has been mentioned so much lately, nor how he has gained support in the last couple of weeks. Apparently, something has changed. I'd be amazed if it happened. I think he splits the fan base, and other reasons keep him from ever coming here. Time will tell.

Yep.  The only thing you likely avoid by hiring a big name is the dip.  Bielema did pretty well his first year.

Shhh! Shut your mouth!  Think positive thoughts, no negative waves.

That being said, I heard a rumor after a funeral in Fort Smith a few weeks ago.

We currently have 12 commits + 2 blue shirts from last, that equals 14, so that's only 1 to 4 more, not a big turn over.

Mr. Porkleone

I think Gus is 1 and Norvell 1A. Gus has relationships with high schools as does Norvell in state.  I'd be happy with either

I don't see Gus coming here.  We do not have the talent that he has at Auburn and it would take too long to rebuild.

It would buy him at least 4-6 more years making $4m+. His wife would be closer to family. No one would be trying to run him off for losing to Bama and UGA.

The good thing is that we are looking at a change.    After this mess of a season I'd take anyone as an improvement.     But the names being tossed around are all great coaches.   I'm happy.    Things are looking up.

Nope don't want Gus.  He can actually win.  Just not our profile.  Lol...what a crowd.

Well, he has been a HC for more then two years and has coached in the SEC. Much better credentials then a C-USA coach who has only been HC for 2 years. I personally don't want Gus but we could do much worse. I don't think he'll be able to repeat what what he did at Auburn but he'll have some good years before he is ran out of Arkansas.
