Travis Williams out along with several defensive staff members.

I still do not see this defense getting any better no matter who he pulls in as the new DC.

I see some of these guys making business decisions and hitting the portal.

Chris Wilson is the new DC, moving from assistant DL coach.

That's not an upgrade, we have receipts for that.

I hope you are right. The one scares the hell out of me we can undo all the progress we?ve made this year with an L

They cannot stop anyone. It's as much of a talent issue as it is a scheme issue. Their goal for the year was just get in track meets and out score people.

And here I was about to "wish" them the now unemployed Todd Grantham.
This is so much better!

A lot of it is effort too. The Memphis backup QB drug a 390-pound DT ten yards for the clinching first down while the other 10 defenders just stood there and watched.

Even the talent isn?t playing well. Xavian Sorey was a potential all-SEC LB and he?s been horrible. Same for Cam Ball at DT.

Dan Mullen has been mentioned quite a bit today as having support from at least one booster FWIW. Probably easier/cheaper to get than Lashlee would be.

I wouldn't be so sure about Lashlee. There's some Dallas Hawgs that are very confident that deal is getting done. Have been saying it since mid July.

Lashlee - he is ok, but sems now with OU, TX and Aggie in the SEC, that recruiting footprint has shrunk for Arkansas to tell TX kids "come here to play in the SEC"
