  1. You are what your record says you are. Charlie just isn't a good head coach.
  2. So again, this shitty division is pretty much ours for the taking. As expected. The Eagles just haven't played well this year. I never believed they were for real, and I certainly won't believe Carson Wentz is for real until he actually starts coming through in the clutch.
  3. He's just running off all the bad guys. Wait til year 10 of the Strong era. They'll be a scintillating 7-6 again.
  4. IN my dreams the Cowboys are able to hire away Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma decides to replace him with Jason Garrett.
  5. I guess this is what its like to be cursed.
  6. Cosplay coach--that's a good line. But look on the bright side. Things could be worse--we could have Carson Wentz at quarterback.
  7. Big game looming against Buffalo. Haven't said that in a very long time.
  8. Brady questionable because of a right elbow injury? Could the Cowboys be that lucky?
  9. They make opposing running backs look good. I'll grant that's not an ability you'd like to see nurtured, but Rod is maxing it out.
  10. I, like most Texas fans, will be quite pleased to admit having been wrong about Shaka if he turns things around. But 4 games in is a little early to be popping the champagne corks.
  11. This is a silly thread. Herman is better than Charlie. Exactly how good he can really be remains a question. But how bad Charlie really is has been documented beyond any reasonable doubt.
  12. That's what I saw.
  13. I understand your logic, but I don't have any more faith in the Eagles than most people have in the Cowboys. The Eagles so far look to have a few more significant flaws than we do. SO they can blow winnable games, too. I would agree, however, that the Lions are a must win. The Lions aren't that good even with Stafford. Lose that one and we're sure as hell not going 5-1 the rest of the way.
  14. I didn't call it a great accomplishment or something to "buy into" with enthusiasm. I called our division lousy and noted that even winning the division at this point isn't going to be the kind of season fans wanted. Just gaming out the schedule and noting that a playoff appearance is still possible. If so, a wildcard game win is probably the upside limit.
  15. Still, for all our complaints, winning this lousy division is still doable. If we draw the Lions without Stafford, that should be a win. Balance that with a loss to the Patriots and we're 6-5. We still have another game with the Deadskins, so call it 7-5. That leaves four games that decide our fate: Buffalo, @ Chicago, the Rams and @ Philly. Going 3-1 gets us to 10-6 and probably wins the division. Going 2-2 gets us to 9-7 and could still win the division. It's not how we wanted this to work, but a playoff game or two is still a possibility.
  16. Is that fucking cake baked yet?
  17. It's a quantum function. Somewhere in the space-time continuum, Charlie is always being fired.
  18. I understand the difficulties, but what the school has to weigh is impact on the program's future. These first two years have been so bad, and some of the losses so extreme (see North Texas State and Western Kentucky), the question on the table had already shifted to whether Morris' ability to recruit had been crippled. If so, the program was in a death spiral. If Arkansas believed that was the case, then it had to stop the bleeding whether that's fair to Morris or not.
  19. Still, it's not the coach's job to just surrender for a couple of years. Morris was being paid serious money, and one of the expectations that goes with that is that you can transition systems without getting blown out at home by North Texas State and Western Kentucky.
  20. I would agree. I don't think the SEC title is a realistic expectation for Arkansas (although there is that phrase "once in a blue moon"). But not getting blown out at home by North Texas State and Western Kentucky is a realistic expectation. Let's face it--they weren't even competitive in those two games.
  21. I don't think anyone questions Jerry's business/financial acumen. That's a proven quantity. But the evidence to date is that there are a fair number of professionals with more football knowledge than the Jones family, and other owners have found success by simply hiring them and letting them do their jobs. Now is Jerry a better owner than, say, Daniel Snyder? Sure. Jerry has evidenced the ability to learn some things, which Snyder never has. But Jerry's "hands-on" approach the last 22 years hasn't produced a whole lot of success. Even he has noted that he'd fire a GM with his record. So I would say that fans, who put money in Jerry's pockets, have every right to complain until the day Jerry becomes some Stalinesque dictator of the US, which is hopefully never.
  22. Arkansas' wins under Morris: Eastern Illinois, Tulsa, Portland State, and Colorado State. Man that's sad. Millions of dollars for that.
  23. But Colorado State in 2019 stands as the signature, high water mark triumph of his tenure. So there's that.
  24. May I interrupt this feud just long enough to note that the regression of our linebacker play has actually surprised me a bit.
  25. Every word of this is true and on point. And don't forget that North Texas State kicked his ass up one side of the field and down the other at home last year, to the tune of 44 -17. It's bad enough for a big state school in a major conference to get upset by the likes of North Texas or Western Kentucky. But to not even belong on the same field with them is inexcusable.
