You Have Put the Shoe on the Right Foot

It is the Head coach. Arkansas has had a lot of bad coaches. I have closely observed all three. Bielema & Pittman were & are basically just stupid on the X's & O's that constitute good football. The technical blocking schemes by lineman & coverage schemes by DB's LB's that must be executed on both sides of the line of scrimmage. A good head coach must instantly notice failed assignments by players on offense & defense in game films and call those players out to be corrected. The players must respect the head coach as only wishing their betterment. All that is required of a good head football coach. They were both just stupid. Morris was a fruitcake that should have never advanced past the Texas high schools. How Debo Sweeney helped produce Morris is beyond me. Head coaches can depend on smart & experienced assistants to some extent but they must be very special assistants for them to carry much of the load. The saddest post I read here is the one that said Pry cannot be replaced in the short term. Virginia Tech does need to get better fast.

Where will this Vandy team finish though?

I Think Most Football Games Are Won at the Line of Scrimmage
WarHog38 • 09/01/24 04:30 PM ET
VT is 0-12 OOC vs P4 since 2017. Arkansas last Win. **

WVA was last P4 win**
CrystalCoveHokie • 09/01/24 10:36 AM ET
0-11 sounds much better. Thanks. **

Yes. During Whit's tenure. A common thread of football disappointment.**

That transfer portal team is not the bottom of the SEC this year, just like

They may win 2 conference games. South Carolina is best chance

Who are they beating? In their defense, they have a brutal schedule.

I will predict 3-0 to start the season, then give Mizzou fits, that one

Not making excuses for the loss. But speaking to the bigger picture...

Agreed, that was basically a 10 win New Mexico State team yesterday, school

What's implied is that we couldn't have beaten a 10-win NMSU team either.

We spit the bit with Vandy. Need to beat RU now, right?
