I’ll speak for Big Blue Nation and say that the fans are tired of a coach more concerned about the draft than the tournament. It wasn’t winning and then he would often mock and deride the fans who wanted better coaching

Being the 8th richest person in northwest Arkansas. Is like being the 4th richest person in California. The Waltons hold the top 6 spots. JB Hunt is 7. And Tyson is 8th. Jerry and Jean Jones is 9th. And Stephen's is 10th I believe. The owner of the Dallas Cowboys barely makes the top 10 of the richest people in Northwest Arkansas.

Imagine this show’s reaction if Miami hired Dabo and people had the unmitigated gall to suggest he can’t coach anymore Guys - it’s a return to credibility and relevance that no other coach in college basketball could bring. You guys opened the show with Arkansas athletics. They’ve already won with this hire.

Imagine having Devin Booker and KAT on the same team and never running a single Pick and Roll or Pick and Pop the entire season. Booker generated just 7 points in the PnR and KAT took 8 threes all season. A kid playing 2K is a better coach than Cal.

Arkansas has the biggest group of billionaire donors nobody knows about. The SEC of Tyson Chicken who has given hundreds of millions to the Arkasnas athletic department. The Walton family from Wal Mart. Take your pick on the one who gives the most. Even the stadium is named for one, when have gave 350 million for their stadium renovation a few years ago. Jerry Jones of the Cowboys who is an alumni and gives a lot of money. J.B. Hunt trucking CEO. The point is now that NIL has no rules and the NCAA has lost all these court cases and is no longer going to deal with it; schools like Arkasnas can just buy a coach and a team.

That's what USC did in football. Bought the Oklahoma coach, most of his staff AND several of the Oklahoma players. USC is a football school. They are not and never will be a basketball school. Musselman will survive for three years is what most likely will happen.

In 22-23 arkansas had 3 of the top 10 recruits in the country, including the 6th overall pick on Anthony Black. Nick smith jr was drafted 27th overall. Jordan walsh was 38th overall. He will bring top recruits to arkansas just like he did at kentucky. He will put 1st round guards in the league every year like he did at kentucky.

CORRECTION. Musselman was NOT "let go". He had his agent looking around BEFORE this last season started. Plenty of stories out there that he was interested in the Louisville job. Being from southern California, people that know Musselman have known if a job ever opened at the likes of USC or UCLA, he'd be gone from where ever he was. Arkansas fans wanted Musselman to stay, Musselman and especially his family wanted back in southern Cali.

Calipari was out coach by st peters and Oaklands coach. Oakland coach made 360k a yr. Cal made 8.5mil. Cal is a recruiter not a coach. If he could coach, we would have made it past st peters and Oakland with the 1 man Killin 3s and all the freshman just watched the show. Cal never makes in game adjustments or corrections. Same plays beat us over and over vs Oakland. Peeps be blind.

Arkansas isn’t a step down from Kentucky. It’s not a step up and we don’t have the tradition Kentucky does but if anything it’s a lateral move with a more toxic fan base. (We ran Musselman off and he was cool). Also, Musselman wasn’t let go, he literally pulled a Calipari 2 days before Calipari pulled a Calipari.

I love how all the Kentucky fans have gotten so spoiled that they think losing this caliber of a coach is a good thing. What happens when y'all can't recruit all the five stars anymore? What happens whenever you bitch about not going deep in the tournament and all the sudden you don't make it to the tournament? Not only are you losing your coach, you're losing all the high caliber talent that wanted to come to Kentucky. Arkansas will be fine, Kentucky. On the other hand, I see having a rough go at it the next few years no matter who they get
