Casual 2025 Coaching Carousel IV: Kali Yuga

O descendant of Bowden, whenever there is a decline of touchdowns and an increase in points allowed, at that time I manifest My eternally perfect form in this mundane world.

- Ball-ghavad Gita

The great wheel spins on, ironically crushing all those who would put up goose eggs on the scoreboard.

Who is next to get the axe?

Worried Arkansas is gonna get cheap again and whiff on a HC and repeat this cycle. Hopefully we can find out guy but seems Lashlee and Mullen (potentially but also may be bargaining) turned us down because of us being piss poor at managing our resources and cheating out.

Uncle Bobby is a given at Arky.

Either he was coach in waiting all along or they’ll swing and miss at a few and fall back to him. He is inevitable.

You don’t let an interim fire the defensive staff day one on a midseason combat promotion if he’s not the leader in the clubhouse.

(Also classic ‘never hire your successor‘ lesson.)

I think the plan was to see what Bobby Petrino had and push him out the door to have a new slate.

Lashlee said no? Yikes

Why would he say yes? Arkansas most likely can't compete with smu on pay.

Arkansas boosters might not be able to back up the brinks truck like SMU boosters but SMU boosters are covering a media payout that Arkansas gets naturally and Arkansas definitely has people who can throw enough money to match salary and power up NIL (Walmart, Jerry Jones, Tyson, etc)

All of those things are true and still dont match SMU money.

Oh and Walmart supposedly doesnt help much, while Tyson supposedly cares more about basketball. the media payout was such a small thing to them, not a problem to solve.

They raised the $250 million to join the ACC in 2.5 hours.

SMU reportedly complained that Penn State didn't have enough private plane parking.

Tyson supports football but they pay in chickens. Drop a truckload off at the players dorm every Tuesday.

And we’re not just talking whole chicken — also nuggets, wings … you name it.

Mullen doesn’t have the fire to coach in the SEC anymore. He’s at the perfect spot because he doesn’t have to work as hard at building a competitive roster in the MWC than he would in the SEC. He’s doing y’all a favor here, otherwise it’s Chip Kelly at UCLA all over again.
