re: Anybody that thinks coaches won’t come here because of unrealistic expectations

There are 261 Division 1 football programs.

22 of those schools have head coaches that make more money than Pittman, and 238 of them make less... in most cases MUCH less.

This is laughable. Coaching an SEC program is desirable to well over 200 of those coaches.
It's the ineptitude of the decision-makers at Arkansas that have created whatever hesitancy you think there is for the majority of these coaches.

Especially when there’s about to be a massive paradigm shift in college football with power being homogenized around just two conferences.

As Andy Staples often says, don’t let your past history of hiring bad coaches sway you from moving on from a bad one. Just keep hiring until you find the right one.

We’re on an unprecedented streak of uninspiring, bad, or downright catastrophic hires right now. The key difference now being that we have a good AD instead of a weak twerp (Long), idiotic band of incredibly stupid rogue boosters (Gus/Morris), or vocal cadre of former players (Pittman).

Similarly, Pittman’s job security shouldn’t be predicated on “he’s not Chad Morris.”
