No...I think you were right. Pittman is an 8 win a year at best guy, and if/when he loses Briles/Odom things will only be more difficult.

9-4 last season was pretty underwhelming honestly. They beat Texas who finished 5-7, beat A&M who only went 8-4, and then lost in every other ranked matchup they had and then also lost to Auburn who wasn't ranked. This year they beat Cincinnati to open the season, but have since once again lost to every ranked matchup they've had including a loss to Liberty and also A&M (currently the 2nd worst team in the SEC).

I think Pittman is a good coach, think he's smart enough to know his strengths and he did a great job building his first staff. But I don't think he's likely going to stay a HC for long or at least I don't see him being in the SEC as a HC long. He may take a step down in competition and enjoy a less hot seat and more success. If I'm a G5 school with some money or any P5 school not in the Big 10 or SEC then when he's on the market I'd give him a call. 3-5 million a year to thump an American or Sun Belt schedule would be a pretty good gig I'd say.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's a name that comes up when the Kansas job is open, especially if Arkansas has already parted ways with him.

If I'm Pittman I'd rather return as a SEC OL coach or just simply retire before I take a G5 job.

We all talk about money, TV revenue, endorsements etc but if you check the NFL ( I may be mistaken, it could have changed in recent years) PAYS $0..00 dollars in tax 501(c)(6). Tell me how that is even close to fair....for anybody.

Tis an association. Fairly common. But worry not the taxes are being paid at the franchise level.

Maybe, every coach is different. Gus had no issue taking almost 2.5m to be in Orlando. Dana Holgorsen makes over 4m at Houston. So if he did wanna keep being a HC doing so at the G5 level is still twice the salary of being an assistant even in the SEC. But he could also stay at the P5 level as a HC and make close to what Arkansas is paying him just with less stress.

I don't know though Pittman is an odd one, I'm honestly kind of surprised Arkansas was his first HC gig considering how long he's been a well liked assistant at multiple P5 stops.

The portal scares me more than I’m looking forward to it. Idk how any Tennessee fan doesn’t have BVS with the portal after what happened in 2020. No one is immune, being good doesn’t matter. Kids don’t think logically.

2020? After our coach got fired and went 3-7?

We are in a much better position to take than lose.

The team owners, players, coaches, & staff though are all paying taxes.

Exactly lol

Why be scared of it? It’s inevitable. Of course we will lose a few players and gain several players. We have a chance to upgrade the roster with experienced talent so we can sustain this. We will also be a school kids are looking at Bc of how we play. That poster comparing now to 2020 is hilarious lol.

I don't think that footage is real. The picture I saw of the woman doesn't match the woman in the film. The woman in the film is beautiful whereas the woman who did the shooting is more average looking (still pretty but different hair style too so maybe...).

If I were a high-level football player on a Friday before the big game, I'd spend my time trying to reflect on what Will Levis must be thinking and see if I could think Will's thoughts after him. Such an approach should only elevate your game... although you have to be wary because it also might crush your confidence as you contemplate your own finitude in the context of Levis's transcendent excellence.


Outtake from my forthcoming book: The Ways of Levis, for those interested...

Got a recruiting questions for you all. I know we can add 7 more because of transfers but what happens like if say 12 transfers? Is the limit still 7 or can you match trans fer for transfer? Hope I asked this clear enough and I'm not talking about the regular 25.

Siap, that no longer applies. That was last year.

For the next 2 classes the only thing that matters is the 85-limit.
