Why would that be? They were able to hire a highly successful coach away from Wisconsin last time around. What makes you think they will settle for less this time? and he couldn't win there,either....Good coaches saw this, too....the stakes are higher now because of that....I don't care where he goes to arkie or not, just so he goes somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auhud08 596 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Bielema left wisky before wisky left him. Wasnt a difficult hire albeit a “big” name. I think what plays in favor of gus is that hes “one of them”. Theyve seen him be successful in arkansas and as the Nabors stated he knows the coaching and the recruiting their. Plus less expectations, etc. wouldnt surprise me if theirs more chatter after this week. Watch bielema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,822 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Who else is salivating at the prospect of having to defend 5 plays for a game each year ran by Arky caliber athletes??? As @AUBwinsmentioned, if he regains his mojo that would suck for us but I'm not that worried about it. From the looks of it he would go directly from here without a year or 2 away from the game, giving him no time to readjust/modernize his system from an objective viewpoint. Basically he would just keep doing his same ole same ole. I'm all for it go Gus go!!! Also he's as nutless as he shows he is with the 4th and <1 calls and conservative game plans. "Boo hoo the pressure is too much to beat Bama and UGA let me run away"....SOFT. If he could beat some of the worst UGA teams in modern history maybe things would be different. But he couldn't. When he had better teams.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,822 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 How common is it for a currently employed coach to insinuate that he's interested in another school's job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gohogs14 178 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 If we have to get an Arkansas guy I'd rather go after Mike Norvell. Best hire would be Gundy since he has a son in school at Arkansas but not sure if he would leave Oklahoma State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,822 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Wait why does Gundy's kid go to school in Arkansas? That seems kind of weird considering he's been at OSU for a pretty long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doverstutts 1,643 Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 apparently, it is true that when Broyles died, there was communication between Mr. Wizard and influential people at Arkansas.....I just heard another interview mention this...If so, and I believe it to be true, he should be let go in Tatertot fashion.....I really didn't think that would be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doing a disservice to the kids to have their leader be someone who's head and heart are not in it anymore. His judgement in regards to these kids is cloudy at best by throwing a crippled Sean White out there and then blaming it on SW (lost all respect for the man after that), running an obviously injured KP into the dirt, and actively trying to kill Kerryon imagine what happens when he actually checks out.

I still wish we wouldn't have to face him. His potential to re-find his mojo is scary to think about. I am ready to move on as well in regards to Auburn becoming consistently in contention again. I do think his offense as OC was near impossible to defend. Of course he would go as head coach which could keep his offense muted. Will not happen. He will be the same regardless of where he is at. He will not win as much at Arkansas simply because of the talent difference. We will adjust at halftime and throughout the game....he will not.

IronMan70 3,277 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This is funny because I had thought about this very thing a time or two this week. From his standpoint I can see the appeal. He gets to go home, the expectations are much lower, he loses to bama every year but it won't mean as much as it does here, he won't have to play Georgia every year, he stays in the SEC West and gets HC pay. At this point it works for us too so that half our fan base doesn't have a stroke. Ok I support it, go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
