@FakeWallyHall@HunterYurachek These bureaucrat, red tape, RF infighting, complacency issues existed before HY. But he’s certainly an issue. Don’t want to confuse incompetence with desire. There’s multiple leaders who know better who don’t try to do better.
How many waves of PR and empty, vague promises have Arkansans been told? (excluding chuck & bo)
Dec 2017, Hunter Yurachek at his intro: "We need a football program that can compete for the SEC championship."
Since then, wave after wave of PR and empty crisis management
1/ 2022: Collective #1. No marketing.
Nov 2023: Pittman stays. "We have work to do."
2/ Nov 2023: Petrino! Collective #2! First big marketing push outside NWA? 11 months later.
3/ Apr 2024: Not a make-or-break year.
4/ Sept 2024: Collectives are a loophole. Need 10,000 households at $100 a month.
5/ Apr 2025: QB leaves after 5 months. Collective will enforce buyouts.
6/ Sept 2025: Not set up to win a title. Rev share will help.
7/ Sept 2025: Pittman fired. Didn't have the resources. Next coach will.
8/ Oct 2025: Collective #2 shut down.
9/ Dec 2025: Silverfield. Top half of SEC spending. Can't share numbers.
10/ Dec 2025: LinkU. Here's the front office. No marketing.
11/ Summer 2026: Closer to the middle.
12/ Sept 2026: Dead last in SEC roster spend. Board orders a review.
13/ Oct 2026: Chancellor asks if a PR firm was hired for the crisis. Yes. 6 to 9 month plan.
14/ Nov 2026: Top half of the SEC. Again. Plan coming before the portal. No numbers. President leaves for Purdue Feb 1.
Marketing, Merch, Content Production, etc, has been stagnant since before Hunter Yurachek got here. Social too. Not one collective got a real push. EFFORT.
NIL fundraising EFFORT this fall: zero. Last public push was Aug 6. Portal decisions are made in next 3-6 weeks.
Football since he was hired: 39-67. 15-57 in the SEC.
100 RTs and we'll post what a real 30/60/90 turnaround plan looks like.
@LawsonRandy, I’ll beat the quality of non-Arkansan consultancy groups you’re considering using Arkansan’s investments (fans) to pay for. For free. Not the $100k+ the agencies charge. Let’s put that towards some players. Ball is in your court to prove if you want to make Arkansas football the pride of the state again, or if this is PR again.
TLDR
• Offense: 3 first-quarter points in our last 4 games, and 0 for 6 scoring on SEC opening drives. South Carolina's D ranks #54 (#80 vs the pass), the softest left on our schedule.
• Defense: South Carolina's offense ranks #6, the best left. 19 of their 57 big plays are LaNorris Sellers runs or scrambles, and no SEC defense allows more per QB run than we do.
• Reco: Throw early. Spy Sellers.
1. OPENING DRIVES
• Them: 0 of 7 SEC offenses scored on their first drive vs South Carolina.
• Us: 0 for 6 on SEC openers.
SEC's best and worst at stopping QB Runs
/ Sellers averages 7.3. QB runs = designed runs plus scrambles.
/ Sellers gets more of his rush yards from scrambling than Byrum does
/ Sellers leads the SEC for Rush YPA, 50+ attempts

@jacobdaviscfb PR agency they hired with their investor’s (fans) investments, to crisis manage instead of buying trust with a couple bullet points of actual gameplan.
@JohnNaborsShow That was the opportunity to legitimize it, and it was a drafted response by the PR agency they hired. This was round 3 (4?) of them PR’ing the need state of it. Low hanging opportunity for them to cite 5-10 bullet points on 30/60/90 action plan and that would’ve sufficed.
South Carolina vs. P4 2026
/ leading at half: 3-2 (14th in SEC)
Beamer 2025-2026
/ leading at half: 5-4 tied for worst in the country
Leading the 4th: 9-5 since 2024, good enough for 4th worst in the country.
He’s got Briles, but is the country’s most prominently recognized lead loser and earlier this season was projected to get him fired.
@alsochad Breaking this export down into bite size pieces later on but has the unit match-ups for it. Clearly QB Designed runs is a coaching preparedness flaw.
DL and LBs spread out in second half after seeing us stack the box slow Byrum’s inside runs down. Second time the DC’s gameplan this year changed, counterintuitively, after half and we lost in a one score game.
I’ll be impressed if we hold South Carolina to 4.5 Rush YPC. We’re the worst P4 Rush defense they face this year. Kentucky Rush D ranked over 40 spots higher than us - the second easiest South Carolina has faced, and they put up 6.3 YPC on them.
South Carolina’s opponent Rush defenses last 7 games: 15th, 16th, 22nd, 26th, 48th, 2nd, 29th.
And they’re still third for Rush YPG in SEC.
@JacksonCollier Smart on them. If you’re optimistic about the choices you make leading to a better position for your school in 3-4 years, then you shouldn’t make 6+ year deals.
Biggest edge in LSU 🐅 vs Texas? The trenches.
LSU's D-line vs Texas' O-line (FBS rank):
…QB pressure: #2 vs #126
…Sacks: #3 vs #124
…Runs stuffed: #7 vs #117
LSU ranks higher in all 6 on the card.
Texas has 2 edges of its own when LSU has the ball ⬇️

DL: Worst DL2-DL4 in the country by a WIDE margin. Under no circumstance unless we go get better ones and they become insurance. Jones had a good game against the 2nd most allowed sacks in the country. Wasn’t progress. New elite RT1, LT1, DT1, DT2, End1 as a group are needed more than all other needs combined if we want to win more than 7 next year.
Soles and JQ, sure. Lockett falls under top half of 2026 class. Kash also falls under IOL.
@CCignettiIU Bad losses, by the numbers 👇
Lost to an unranked team: Georgia, Texas (twice), BYU, Texas Tech
Indiana's only loss: by 4 to No. 20 Ohio State
Wins over the CFP top 25: Texas 4, Indiana 0
