Altman or Heath?

[HOGness4life]

Who would you prefer?

[wooo]

Altman
Altman
Altman
...everytime

[PiggyBack]

We owe coach Heath an enormous apology....

[Razors84]

Give Altman five years and I'll let you know.  Or 3.

[Bomis Hawg]

Altman.  I'd take Altman over Majerus.  Maybe Mike Montgomery.
Nice upgrade.
Arkansas and maybe South Florida are getting two good coaches.  Both should benefit.

[BIGHOGFAN05]

I would have to say Altman, since heath was already given the boot...preferably neither

[sooie dog]

We owe coach Heath an enormous apology....

What the Hell for?  He is the one that can't coach.

[Pigonometry]

Altman ---- he has a lot more coaching experince if nothing else...........

[Lokirain]

Heath. This Altman hire is worse than the Heath one. Broyles fired Heath thinking he had Guillespie, now we are stuck with this guy. Good lord it's great to be a Hogs fan.

[ICEman]

Bring back Heath.

[PiggyBack]

We owe coach Heath an enormous apology....

What the Hell for?  He is the one that can't coach.

Really?  Altman lost in the first round to Nevada.  Upgrade?  I think not.

[Tortfeasor]

Altman.  At least with him we can hold out hope that he can actually coach his players.  With Heath, we knew that was not the case.

[jdlew]

ALTMAN.........ALTMAN.....ALTMAN........





I like Stan....but we had to make a change.

[PLAYBOAR]

Altman >>>>>> Heath.

And it's not even close.

[ceegar]

Altman.  No question.  Maybe not my first choice but an upgrade from what we had.  imo

[notreseveredname]

Altman,

Nothing would have changed with Heath.

[PrescottHog]

Heath. THinks to Frank we now have a down grade, Heath made the tournament this year and Altman didnt

[Bomis Hawg]

Really?  Altman lost in the first round to Nevada.  Upgrade?  I think not.

Creighton was a 10 seed.  And lost.  Arkansas was a 12 seed.  And lost.
I recall Arkansas losing as an 8 seed last year.

[Lokirain]

Heath wasn't a great coach, but Altman will be worse. This sucks it bigtime, as usual Arkansas fans get to relive the glory of yesteryear while the rest of the SEC can focus on their future.

[sooie dog]

We both know Heath was a bad hire.  That is a fact.  Why not wait and see what Altman can do at Arkansas.

[granny grunt]

Stan Heath......

[RevHog77]

Heath and it's not even close.  Altman wanted the Iowa job and didn't even get a sniff at it and he's from that area.  And the recruiting, I'm excited about getting a bunch of white guys that can shoot, woo-hoo.  At least we should be able to get Rotnei Clark now I guess. 

[BlakeHOGfanatic]

Heath....I was ok with Heath's firing to get a high profile coach like BCG but to end up getting DANA i feel like we downgraded. Creighton has never made it to the elite 8 with Dana in all his years

[LL COOL HOG]

Nolan was right.

[ErieHog]

Altman, and it's not even close.

I don't care if he can't recruit as well as Heath;  I do care that his teams are always tough, and never give up; they play above themselves, rather than down to the competition.

Overachievers > Underachievers

[Bring Back Heath]

Heath

We save ourselves the national embarassment, humility, and every negative thing that has happened in the last week.  

[UAfan]

Altman.  If he can do what he did at Creighton at Arkansas than you might as well multiply that by 10.

[UAfan]

Heath

We save ourselves the national embarassment, humility, and every negative thing that has happened in the last week. 

And settle for mediocrity!

[RedSatinHog]

We should have held onto Heath for another season and let him leave on his own terms.

[RedSatinHog]

Mediocrity is what we ended up with anyway.  What's the difference?

The way I see it, we'll be lucky to break .500 next year.

[Bring Back Heath]

The only person happy with Altman is probably Preston Cranford because he knows Altman is used to dealing with slow white boys who can shoot like himself. 

[LL COOL HOG]

Altman.  If he can do what he did at Creighton at Arkansas than you might as well multiply that by 10.

Multiply what by 10.  His Tourney record? I'm trying to stay positive because he hasn't coached a game for us yet.  But my gut say's WTH.

[Gonzo]

       Looking at their records after similar points in their carreers, it looks like a tossup. If that's the case, I think Heath should have not been canned. For a clear ugrade, maybe, but I don't see this move as that right now. I hope it winds up being one.



Go Hogs!

[Lokirain]

We should have held onto Heath for another season and let him leave on his own terms.

That's sorta what I have been saying. We needed to let a REAL AD hire a basketball coach. Broyles screwed us one last time.

[hogfan064]

Altman by far

[No_nuts]

I would of prefered to keep Heath over Altman.
I would have hoped we could have shelled out some
money for a big name coach.
I just don't think Arkansas is willing to pay enough
for a top coach to come here.

We know we would win 20+ games with Heath and
the current players and make the NCAA again, with Altman
we don't know if he can coach to the level of the SEC yet.

As long as we win the SEC west and make the
sweet 16 next year I'm ok with it.
Thats the same requirement which would have been
made of Heath.

[OzarkHighs]

Altman all the way...

[dfresh]

Leave on his own terms??? That would be at the end of next season with 7 open scholarships.  No Thanks.  Welcome to Arkansas Dana, ignore some of the fans.

[bigyellowdog]

Altman

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

with Heath we would get Bush and Beverly.

[gduchar]

Altman.

[hawgdog2005]

Stan Heath and oh by the wy fire HDN now

[hawgdog2005]

[jostrowski]

Heath. THinks to Frank we now have a down grade, Heath made the tournament this year and Altman didnt

check your facts before you post.  they lost to nevada.
Altman might have more coaching experience but I don't want a mid-major.

[taoteching]

It is a moot point now. 

I kinda like the idea of having a coach that enjoys the science of basketball. 

[Razorfox]

His teams play hard, that's enough for me. 

[LowDownDirty]

Stupid question!

[redbug56]

ALTMAN.

[The real Hogules]

Heath
