Dowell Loggins

[RazrRila99]

Since we are throwing names out there.  How about Dowell Loggins?  Hes been getting rave reviews in the NFL as OC for several years.  Even been talk about hes on the short list for a lot of teams should they start looking for HCs at season's end. 

My worry - does he have the connections to build a college staff?  Does he have the right "recruiting stuff" for college? 

[Kevin]

would you know who he is, if he was not a hog

[Wildhog]

Average OC at best.  No frickin' way would I want him as HC.

I dont want him as our next coach but calling him an average oc is not accurate.

I've watched a ton of his games.  You can cite every article in the world, but Loggains is a very average OC.

I wasnt saying he was great, avg, or anything like that.  There has to be something there that others are seeing.

Him being a former Razorback does help as I try to follow Razorback related things.  That said, I think he'd be at least deserving of a looksee. 

Another name - Matt Patricia with NE, rough year this year, but his defenses always seem to get better as the game goes on.

It is not like the Bears have given him a ton to work with though.

He hasn't been better than average anywhere he's been.  Not saying he sucks.  Just...meh. 

[snoot hoggy hog]

The list of coaches Arkansas fans didn't want but later regretted not taking is a mile long. Loggins will probably be another one.

He's an NFL OC. There are 32 of those jobs in the world. He has one of them. He's not average. Maybe average for the NFL, but the guy knows football.

There are a ton of NFL coaches I wouldn't want anywhere near our program.  Mike Sherman won a damn Super Bowl and went 25-25 at TAMU.

Whatever happened to defense wins championships?  Our defense has been terrible for decades, let's get a defensive guy who thinks defense first. 

[redneckfriend]

I think this is the guy! His team threw 7 passes last weekend and gained 12 yards in total offense in the second half. A brilliant offensive mind.

I know of a guy that played Defense for a good coach, became a defensive position coach and then later a Defensive Coordinator and was promoted to head coach at a P5 conference school and went to three straight major bowl games. Maybe we can get him................no wait, never mind we already have him.

Too soon?

Loggins is nothing unless he's working with Jim Messina..

As a Bears fan all I can say is look at the personnel he is working with.  It was actually very smart to have him call 7 pass attempts.

I'm not ready for Dowell unless a HC wants him as an OC.

I won't go that far. He has no wide receivers to work with and Trubisky is raw but really, 12 yards total in a half. I could probably coach that. In addition to being a very average NFL OC he has no experience as a college head coach and it is all about recruiting- especially at Arkansas. Proposing him as a head coach here is laughable if not pathetic.

[PorkRinds]

He's also never been a recruiter. Not what we need.

[ipigsooie]

Im Alright with Loggins. I just hope he doesn't cut Footloose when we get in the red zone or as he calls it the "Danger Zone."  I am not saying he is the best hire, but im sure you could Meet Me Halfway with the opinion that he would be a decent hire and Im Free to state my opinion.  He might rock this team like an 80s soundtrack. Ya never know. 

[PorkRinds]

I'd rather have his cousin Kenny.

[Wildhog]

Honestly, I don't even think I'd want him as OC.

[ipigsooie]

Not his brother Patton Oswald

Not excited about him at all. Not sure i want anyone coming from the NFL to our team after the past few years.

Carolina dominated the clock.  I think they had 3 drives during that half.  But I totally agree he's not ready to be a college HC (and said so in the other part of my post).

I was a big fan of Lovie Smith, but even with NFL head coaching experience he's finding it's a different game at the college level.

Seriously...why would DL be a good head coach at Arkansas?
He's fairly good at what he does.  But geez, c'mon man...do you really want
Him at the helm of our program? Must we parade every guy who once wore a Hog uninform past the powers that be? Sorry to vent but some of these names & arguments being tossed about are ridiculous.

[12247]

It never fails to amaze me the thousands of opinions offered up here and secondly, how it seems to hurt some folks feelings if nearly everyone doesn't happily agree. 

Arkansas is a small, southern state that is at or near the bottom of nearly every advantage that is felt to be worthy of having.  It is not located well for Football recruiting.  It would be a plus if we hired a HC who knew Arkansas, the state, well and Arkansas the school, well and Arkansas, the football program, well.  It will matter a great deal what schemes the new HC prefers to run as Arkansas has a deep history of not getting certain position players who excel at or above the level necessary to have any chance of being successful in the SEC.  The most important attributes of any new HC is that he be a workaholic, energetic person who also knows and understand the mental aspect of the game and operates a scheme most suitable to winning football games.

[LZH]

I am happy for his success so far, but not sure he is ready to run an SEC program. Maybe one day.

[hoggusamoungus]

But look where we would end up.  We've already been there and it wasn't pretty.

PRJ, you are beginning to make me nervous with this Tim Horton idea. Please tell me you have a good beer buzz and are just goofing on all of us.

I can't imagine that would ever happen, but I have been so far off base on some hires, who knows.

If that's the case he's been drunk for about 5 or 6 days now, because he's been posting that same name pretty steady during that time.

Or maybe he knows more than the rest of us.

No. There are some yokels with more money than sense that have actually mentioned their man would be Tim Horton. Arkansas boy....strong recruiter....

More than that it shows just how many factions want their hands back in the Kittie and will do whatever they can to get back in power....including some who like Tim. And they have alot of coin....and then you never know if Jeff is left standing just who he will Trot out...Les Miles...who knows.

You just know that when Tim Horton is mentioned, there is more money than marbles and they are desperate for control.

Me thinks Jeff doesn't know what is coming. Especially when he trots out his "Bret deserves another year" one more time.

Is Loggins a new up& comer I've never heard of??

[hawganatic]

If Dowell Loggans wants to be the head coach of the Razorbacks, he should start working some of his contacts to get a head coaching job at a smaller school (maybe next time Jonesboro has an opening), and prove his chops at the coaching level.  After he learns the college game and how to run a program, then give him a look.

Right now I don't really think we are in a position to take somebody with absolutely no head coaching experience, or even any coaching experience on the college level.

***than.  Gooder to know.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

I think if you know so little about a coach that you cannot spell his name correctly you shouldn't be starting a thread about him.  It's Loggains FCS.

Dowell Loggins sounds like a character on a show like Dukes of Hazzard when they need the dumber cousin to make a guest appearance.
