🏈 🔥 Hot Seat 2025 / Coaching Carousel:

[BamaFan615]

Deion’s personality is the opposite of what I would want in a coach.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

My best guess on Arkansas.... they will look at a handful of guys who have been there and understand some of the challenges. The NIL support is actually pretty good as long as they are winning, but it's still a bottom tier SEC job. Fist off, if Petrino takes over and goes on a run to end this season, he will absolutely be a strong candidate. A lot of the big money guys really like him. Surprisingly, a lot of that group still are enamored with Gus too.... and while I'd imagine the bloom had fallen off that elusive rose the last few years, his apparent resurgence at FSU (mainly his performance vs. Alabama, will have them talking). Beyond that, a couple of guys with Arkansas ties are Rhett Lashlee and C.J. Kinne, 2 guys that I think would take the job. Last go around, they offered it to 6-8 people before they settled on Pittman... it isn't a job most of the big hitters are not going to want... they'll reach out to the Sumrall's of the world, but most of those guys will wait for better opportunities.

I don't know if Gus wants back in SEC. I wonder if Gus really want to get involved with NIL. I thought that was the reason why he left UCF?

Yeah, he was looking for a way out of UCF and was about to just retire. Just my guess, but I think Arkansas is the only HC job he'd take a serious look at... for him, it was the girl that got away. And for reasons I don't understand, some of those money guys are still enamored with him. If I had to make a prediction, I'd say the time has probably passed on him/them making it work, but I have little doubt his name will be pushed by some boosters.

I cannot believe that dirty bastard Petrino is back to leading a college football team. And the same one he got fired from due to a cheating scandal. That is some early afternoon Maury/Springer/Ricky Lake type show stuff.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Starting to look more and more like Petrino is going to have an opportunity to earn the job. It’s gonna be an uphill battle with their remaining schedule, but he’s apparently up for it.

AD said he will be in the mix when they having their search.

Petrino porkin' wasn't the reason he was fired. I mean, he pulled a Bo Davis essentially.

Farrell has noticed the Freeze bandwagon and decided to hitch a ride:

Would love to get Williams on board as a analyst. He can recruit.

DC Grantham fired amid Oklahoma St. shake-up

Oklahoma State, which fired head coach Mike Gundy last week, has also fired defensive coordinator Todd Grantham after the Cowboys gave up 612 yards in a loss to Baylor.

I had no idea Grantham was at Okie State.

If I'm a coach, after hearing this.... I wouldn't touch this job.

That's quite concerning to hear that

His name always come up. Jon Gruden.

Sounds like petrino may be the only realistic choice, lol.

If it was new, I'd agree. He's been beating this drum. It's almost been a year, to the date, where he was in front of the media talking about the NIL. Either Saturday or Sunday I made a comment in this thread about how he'd been beating that drum again this year (but that one was statements around women's sports.)

How badly can one man screw up a place? I thought Jeff Long did a pretty good job when he was there. Now that he's moved on the program has gone to hell. Cal, now Petrino ... reminds me of another SEC school that didn't mind wading in murky waters with their football and basketball coaching hires. It's funny how the schools are intertwined.

Goes back to what I mentioned... he was a lame duck coach, so the giving dried up. But the money is there. If it wasn't, they'd have never been able to lure Calipari.

He's getting his tryout. I don't know if he'll turn them around this season or not... sure won't be easy, but I wouldn't be totally shocked of they picked off a few that they wouldn't have under Pittman... like A&M for example.

Arkansas has one resource, but he's too damn stingy... his name is Jerry Jones owner of the Dallas Cowboys.. you would think he and Jimmy johnson would do a lot for that school... It wasn't for that school. They wouldn't exist right now, in the capacity we know them..
