Collateral Damage?

[CrappDaddy]

Exactly. No P5 school, or even upper level G5 school will hire someone who only has two years of HC experience and hasn't been a top notch school.
This is not a knock on Napier. just a simple declaration of fact. There are too many coaches with four plus years experience that have put together impressive resumes over that time.

Napier’s name has been floating around on a couple of different sites like ESPN and college football news..... I’m more worried about Memphis than I am Arkansas... didn’t someone mention Memphis had Napier Tops on their list of Norvell was to leave?

Yep. Thinking the same.

I understand. However, these were very much the exception, and both Ol' Miss and Auburn had deep pockets. Would also like to know what their buyouts were comporable to Napier's. Arkansas spent a lot of money buying out Jones, though they have now suspended payments, and owe another boatload to the guy they just fired.

In addition, Malzahn was supposed to be some offensive guru and Freeze had connections with Ol' Miss.

I also overstated my case.... I should have said it was highly unlikely.

I always avoid absolutes.... well, almost aways.

How much more all over the place can one guy be on a single post?

Morris was the first of many dominoes to fall. Who knows what Arkansas will do. If they don’t manage to get off the hook with Bielema, with two buyouts to pay for, they won’t be able to pay top dollar for a coach. I would think App State would have more to worry about with their coach having ties to Arkansas. The big money people want Malzhan, but I don’t think he would take it unless the money was astronomical. Any coach who goes there is gonna need a minimum of 4-5 years to build a winner, and the people of Arkansas are short on patience right now.

Not yet...

Not yet what?

does this mean Hud is still here?

FYI, Hud is 7-3 in his first year at APU. He has 2 top 20 wins vs Jacksonville State #11 at the time and SEMO #20 at the time. And they are sitting on top of the Ohio Valley Conference

I have family that are season tickets holders for Arkansas, have been for several generations. Their big money people are delusional at best, they are currently on the hook for $28M for Bielema and Morris. Auburn has more money than Arkansas, if they would want to keep Malzahn they have the money to match and then some. Right now they probably couldn't outbid Memphis for Norvell because that have money to match them as well. Their best shot is the App. State coach and that would make sense with his ties to the program.
