Why would you want Gus?  He can't win the west with the recruiting classes he gets at Auburn.  He'll do worse at Arkansas than he does at Auburn. He's winning 7-8 games a year with top 10 talent, I just can't see how any one could think he'd do better here playing in the exact same division. At least when we first Hired Bielema you could pretend what he was doing would work here and he could compete in the SEC west. You already know exactly how Gus can do.

Umm he won the west and made the NC game. Sitting at 7-2 now. Thats pretty darn good.

I'd take Gus in a heartbeat.  Should have been the hire instead of Bert anyway.

Great! More mediocrity.  He can't win enough at Auburn, so what do you think he will do with less talent and a slightly harder schedule?  Great.

I don't think Gus will be offered the Arkansas job. Too toxic and he'd come in with 50 percent of the fan base against him. I think it's more likely he will be offered the A&M job, at least from SEC schools. As for the $2.5 million he'd owe if he leaves, he won't pay that because the school that hires him will pay that. If Gus goes, he'll go where he can be worshipped the most. Yes, his ego is that big. That's not Arkansas.

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.
As is the case with every single hire, it all depends on who the new hire is.

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


Yes let's hire Gus and divide the fan base on day one. Excellent plan.

I am afraid Les Miles has already been offered and accepted.  He wants to coach again, particularly in the SEC.
I think Miles is a last resort mainly because of his age

That was in 2013, and since he's won 8, 7, and 8, games and this year he's won 7 and likely going to lose 2 of his next 3 and have another 8 win season.  Now I may be wrong, but I can't see how he is going to even be able to do that good at Arkansas given that his last 4 recruiting classes have been ranked 10th, 6th, 9th, and 6th, and ours were 22,23,29,23 nationally. He would be playing the exact same teams but with less talent. Hiring him makes no sense whatsoever. With a lot of candidates you can look at their body of work and try to guess how they may do here against the type of competition we face weekly. With Gus you already know exactly how he'll do, not very good.

No to Gus




Hopefully he has a no compete clause for SEC schools!!!

Hopefully it's Norvell or Frost.

I like Frost too, but his ties to Nebraska go way back.  If those folks up there should fire their coach Scott Frost would seem a natural for them.  Even if our opening came up first and we got him here I'd always wonder if he was looking to bolt to 'Big Red' at the first opportunity. 
I don't like to plan my day because then the word premeditated comes into the conversation.

Of course those that want him see this present situation as their best chance in five years to get him and they are going after it for all they are worth. I don't think they will succeed. The GOBN is far strong than the Springdale chapter of same club. And that's assuming the GOBN can get anything done anymore.

I never pretended Bert would do squat at Arkansas.  He was a bad hire and like many others then, I knew it.  Sounds like you didn't.
Gus... he would have been the best hire for us at the time.  We would NOT be in the position we are now, had Gus been hired instead of Bert.
The issue isn't if Gus would be an upgrade over Bert today; he would be.  The question should be is who would be an upgrade over Gus that we could realistically hire?  It really doesn't matter anyway as Gus would never take the Arkansas job.  Sadly, Auburn is a much better job than Arkansas is today; thanks to Long and Bert.

So, you knew this back in 2012, I'm guessing since you were posting back then that you were still in school at Shiloh?

I really don't want Gus coaching Arkansas.  That being said, I'll fully support the next coach for at least the first three years.  After that they will have to earn my support.

This fan base has been fractured for far too long.  It's time everyone get behind the new coach, whoever that may be.

You're darned right I knew back in 2012 that Bert WAS NOT a good hire for Arkansas. Lots of informed people did as well.  Bert was NEVER going to be successful bringing big 10 football to Arkansas.  That plus his hubris was his undoing. 
Posts on hogville...LOL.  My goodness, what a baseline for relevance.

I'm hoping its Greg Schiano.  Fits the profile of getting another northerner, so Long is happy.  He's a solid recruiter, pulled in some good classes at Rutgers, which can't be easy to recruit to.

Plus he has the benefit of being a hell of a defensive coach.  Pair him with an OC who can work with that side of the ball, and I think he could turn us around next year.

Although he failed in the NFL, there's plenty of other guys who failed there and came back to college to succeed. 

If we can't land him, I'd settle for Gundy.  My dream candidate would be Leach, but I don't see any way he comes here.

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.


But you would have a rather large contingent that would immediately start trying to run him off just because he's Gus.  It would  be just as bad as if we tried to bring back BP or Hootie.

I just don't think we should be trying to hire a coach that has such a large group of people already lined up against him.

It may take a dip this cycle, but every coach has recruited about the same.
That's why we need a dynamic recruiter.  We need to be close to the level of A&M, Tenn, SCarolina and beat the Mississippi schools in order to move up in the SEC on the field.  Hire Brent Venables!

Maybe Norvell can recruit, I don't know.  But we won't be able to compete consistently unless we recruit better than we currently are. 

grayhawg

This speculation we have in coach searches is a barrel of fun, and 99.99% is pure speculation it's usually someone we didn't even think of. We learn who knows something and who is blowing smoke by the time we have our new coach. So let's keep it up. ;D

Agreed. Gus would last maybe 3 years. There is too much animosity over what happened in 2006.

My sprint guides just informed me that Norvelle is the next coach and two of the present coaches will be retained. We will get the DL coach from ASU and the offensive line coach from Iowa State.

My spirit guide just informed me that Coach O just gave a rallying call to his team in a strange unknown language. They are cheering and frothing from the mouth.

My guide just slipped into the Razorback locker room and the coaches are eating blueberry pie with their hands.

I've tried to make this as simple for you to understand as I can; I'm sorry you can't seem to get it.  Let me try it one more time as remedially as I can.  I (as did many other insightful people) knew, when hired, that Bert-ball would fail.  I'm sorry if you can't grasp that.  Posting or not posting has no bearing on that; irrespective of YOUR worldview, Mr. 42,000 posts, that posting matters.  It doesn't.

If? It's already a done deal, friendo. As for ramifications of change in coaches, we will go from a bad head coach (his team has won 11 SEC games in 4 5/8's seasons, to a new head coach with energy, new potential and hope in the fanbase. Hope is gone now. No brainer to get someone else in there.

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.

What is your source? Just a guess?

People on Radio/TV have said firing the coach now (Before season end) will do no good.

I say people are not going to show up for the remaining home games, because they don't want to take the chance that their attendance, is in any measure, is perceived as support for BB to be retained.  If they let him go now..the commitment to change would have fans more likely to attend, just to show the players their support and will be there for them next season with who ever is hired to coach them.

Next 2 games will be full due to the freak show that U of A football has become. Everyone enjoys a circus and a car wreck. Get to see this entire staff coach their last two games at Arkansas.

I have read on this message board for quite sometime how this coach won't work and the other one would not be a good hire. And another one would split the fan base. So, I have three questions.

1. Is Arkansas a 1st tier or 2nd tier school?
2. How many games does a coach have to win on average for the fans to be happy enough to keep?
3. And Which coach would Arkansas have to hire for this to become a reality?

Who supports Gus? You heard Paul Finebaum mention that it would be interesting, and you took that as the gospel. I don't know who they'll hire, but it won't be Gus.
