Arkansas has consistently recruiting around us in the rankings, so they were massively underachieving. It appears to me that Pittman has raised them to kind of what they should be.

Ark may have just got a huge turnover
There is nothing wrong with a B hire. I?m not by any means saying it?s bad. But Leach has been coaching for 15+ years with 1 divisional title.
Mullen finished ranked 3 times in 9 years (2010, 2014, 2017, getting screwed by stupid voters in 2015), was in the mix for the West in November 3 times in 9 years (2014, 2015, 2017). More importantly, he convinced us to stop accepting mediocrity. Without Mullen elevating our expectations, most of our fans would have been happy with Moorhead going to 2 bowls and beating Ole Miss twice, rather than demanding he be fired. I agree that he's an A hire.
I think Leach will probably be a little more successful on W/L record and beating "big name" teams, but who knows if he'll take us to Atlanta. He never played in a Big 12 or Pac-12 championship game, despite regularly being in the mix for it.
Who the hell is smith for Arkansas? Is he the next alvin kamara? Joke, but that kid is killing auburn
Arkansas is much improved. It makes sense we lost to them and beat LSU now. At first I thought it was a Leach thing but LSU might be the worst team in the west this year as crazy as that is
Arkansas good God
Auburn on the ropes
Auburn is badly out of shape. We will win that game.
Malzahn's job might be on the line again here.
Worth noting... ark has gone unsuccessfully for 2 2-pt attempts. That would be a 3 pt lead. May end up costing him
Arkansas is following the LSU model of a coach that is charismatic and a good recruiter and then hire elite OC/DC. That model can work IF the school continues to find elite OC/DC because as we saw with LSU those coordinators will leave to further their career at some point. Probably best case scenario with that model is a program that is a roller coaster- see LSU last year vs. this year.
What kind of weird call will allow Auburn to win this ?
Oh boy. Arky gonna win
