There are maybe 10 out there that could do it. Hell Lane would?ve got 8 minimum. Play calling and personnel isn?t rocket science. Takes 5.4 brain cells to not change that.

Anyone that is competent. I'm not saying that we should have done this - but yeah keeping Hollinghead would have been a better option. And he's not ready for the SEC. We absolutely could have gotten Ben Arbuckle, AJ Smith, Tim Cramsey from Memphis should have been obtainable, I could go on.
We have Barbay running up the middle on third and right after Arnett is fired and you're going to pin that on Arnett?
I didn't feel like verifying but I saw where someone said that App States offensive statistics actually improved once Barbay left.
I looked it up and they're basically the same. Which lends credence to my theory that their head coach had a lot more of a hand in their offense than we were led to believe.
Although their data was a little bit crazy when you look at it from a context standpoint. Last year they had a 60 point game against North Carolina which was an outlier. They also played 2 FCS teams. Which is why they didn't make a bowl last year despite going 6-6. So, I guess if you do a deep dive you could make a case that they are better this year than last.
