    What coach could they get that would recruit 4 and 5 star players away from other SEC teams to the middle of Arkansas? Maybe they can pluck chickens or clean meat packing plants with minors in the off season to make up for the lost NIL money.

    I think he’s going to get rid of one OL coach and hire an OC from reading the tea leaves.

    Shane might last thru next season in Columbia, but do not see him as a long term HC of the Gamecocks

    Napier will be unemployed if he doesn’t change. I don’t think Napier is the egotistical type.

    I think both may be gone. Sale back to NFL and Stapleton out. No idea who they’d hire. I think Pittman retires.

    Like I said, I think he’s going to hire an OC and reorganize the Special Teams.

    He should have been fired after the Florida game. We beat Vandy yesterday and held them to their lowest point total of the year, so now he will probably get a raise and extension. lol

    I was at the Arky game and I said that if Pittman gets fired then we have to pounce. Give him Co-OC and assistant HC status as well as the highest paid assistant in the nation title. Hopefully Napier shows some smarts here and doesn’t go with the “loyalty card.”

    CBN and "pounce" are polar opposites.

    Oviedo's finest might not be sad to see Gus leave and won't offer a raise, he isn't exactly setting things on fire down there.

    Yes. We are painfully aware that Billy likes to hire within his very limited circle.

    His press conference quote “you have to remain process oriented no matter the wins and losses” screams of an ego too big for his britches.

    He is basically telling the world I see what no one else can.

    Just like people who name dogs after themselves, this is EGO.
