2027 Nat'l No. 1 / 5โญ๏ธ priority Hog target Beckham Black @beckhamblack0 (6-3 G) on his wknd Arkansas OV & down on the field @ Razorback Stadium just ahead of Football Hogs-v-Tulsa
Since @HunterYurachek summoned the national media to spew his propaganda and lay out his โsuccessesโ in the spirit of transparency (behind a paywall), I figured Iโd run through a few of his failures in football - you know, the sport that pays the bills and is the entire subject of the outrage - for free on here.
- 37-63 overall record, 14-53 in the SEC
- Three 2-10 seasons (2018, 2019, 2025) with a fourth likely on the way
- 12 straight losses to FBS opponents
- 1-10 at home vs. SEC teams since 2023
- 9 straight home losses to power-conference teams
- Lost 43-10 at Utah and 45-17 at home to Georgia this month
- Chad Morris era: 4-18, 0-14 SEC, ~$10M buyout guaranteed by the UA
- Whiffed on hiring Lane Kiffin because he balked at entering a โbidding warโ
- Gave Pittman a raise and extension in 2022 with no one else trying to hire him
- Kept Pittman after 4-8 in 2023 and 6-6 with a looming hip surgery in 2024 then paid ~$9M to fire him 5 games into 2025
- Lost to Memphis in 2025, then hired Memphis' coach (arguably the least-supported option by the fanbase)
- Sept 2025: "Coach Pittman did not have the resources he needed to appropriately compete in this conference." Resources are the AD's job.
- Dec 2025: new money "will push us to the top half" in talent acquisition
- Sept 2026: The Athletic estimates Arkansas is LAST in SEC roster spending (~$22-25M vs. ~$33-38M league avg)
- Our head coach spent most of his first offseason fundraising instead of focusing on football; again, the ADโs job
- Fought NIL and the evolution of CFB tooth and nail from the onset instead of embracing it
- 2023: Op-ed asking Congress to limit NIL, saying revenue sharing would "collapse the entire system"
- 2024: Told fans revenue sharing would level the playing field
- No athletics GM until March 2025. No football GM until Dec 2025.
- Today: "Looking back, I would have established a general manager-type position earlier." You donโt say?!
- 3% fee on concessions
- ~10% of department staff cut in 2025
- Reseated Bud Walton and Baum; ousting lifelong fans from long-held seats to make up for his lack of fundraising
- Sept 2026: "Generating revenue comes at the expense of your fan base."
- Has overseen the worst era in the history of Arkansas football, much of which can be directly attributed to his shortcomings
Other sports are thriving because they were either established before Yurachek got here or theyโre run by coaches he didnโt hire (or donโt involve themselves with him in any capacity). Basketball is Cal and John Tyson. Baseball is fully DVH (who canโt stand HY). Football is the one sport with his fingerprints all over it and it has failed for 8 years, but suddenly he has a plan.
He says the work started last year, but it shouldโve started well before that. Itโs too late. Heโs always too late. Itโs time for someone elseโs plan - regardless of what this paid-for puff piece says. #FireHunterYurachek
Arkansas | 2026 NCAA Outdoor National Champions
11th NCAA Outdoor title for Arkansas men
44th NCAA Championship overall
First NCAA Outdoor title since 2003
At Catholic High, winning is more than common, itโs a standard. With over a 100 plus titles in all sports, the Bears have been more than represented over the years, more in particular wrestling. One senior looking to edge his name into the history books is Kristian Scott.
My story for @lsutigertv is out now. @chsbrwrestling
On Sunday we had our annual Christmas party for local families. These players know how fortunate they are to be in the position that they are in, and seeing these guys give each of the families something out of their own pocket made me feel good about what we are doing and what we teach. Hope we can all find a way to bring JOY to others this holiday season.
