He is so damn annoying to watch coach... A favorite target for the pit crew though a few years back... he didnt take the critism too well... pretty much a douche

He better learn real quick how to take critism because he hasn't begun to see it in the Belt like he will in the SEC and from Hog fans. It is a stretch, but with "up and comers" you really don't know who is going to make it. At least with guy he has more than One year of coaching under his belt like Stan Heath did. I will reserve my judgement on how the PTB did, but he won't last more than 2 season if he doesn't win quick and go deep in the tourney.

Firing Stan Heath still seems like a bone head idea to me. I really wish Arkansas fans realized that outside of the state lines, they are greatly overshadowed by such schools as Texas, OU, and *gasp* LSU.

Next year should be another exciting season for non-razorback fans in NW-Arkansas as the Nutt-Drama continues into yet another chapter of hilarity.

Yes...I chide a hog-fan coworker of mine about how Arkansas has turned into a drama queen school of late. Who knows what Arkansas would have done next year with that team coming back....Heath only just got that program back into shape after Nolan left it for dead his last couple of seasons...

Stan was waaaaaay in over his head. He was never going to get it done. The guy has NO fire on the bench. The new guy we will just have to wait and see.

The Nutt situation, well, nevermind.

I'm no Hog fan by any stretch, but Texas, OU and LSU each hold zero national championships in basketball. Those three combined have 11 Final Four appearances to the six for Arkansas. Only 8 schools have reached the Final Four more times than Arkansas and only 8 schools have been invited to the NCAA Tournament more times. The Swine have a better winning percentage in NCAA play than any of them as well. The Hogs have a winning record against every one of those teams. 26-18 vs. LSU, 84-65 vs. Texas. 12-9 vs. OU.

What's their record against those same teams since 1995? The Hogs haven't been to the Final Four since that year, a year after they won their last championship. The kids they're recruiting today were, what, 7 years old back then? My memory is starting to fail me on my high school years, let alone what was going on in sports when I was 7. After 1995, Hogs have average an NCAA tourney bid every other year and only made it past the 1st round 3 times. Great by our own standards, but how does that compare to LSU, OU, and UT? Not sure, but my own personal perception and those of my friends is that UA IS overshadowed by UT, OU, and LSU.

Not trying to knock on the Hogs; just playing some devil's advocate.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
