He didn’t need to have questions floating around about his offensive coordinator maybe leaving for another school. This supposedly annoyed Sam Pittman who had already contacted Dan Enos with Enos telling him he would come back to Arkansas.Īt that point Pittman stressed to Briles that Arkansas was in a sensitive period with regard to recruiting and the portal. Briles’ family didn’t want to go to Starkville so he turned the job down. When Briles looked into the Mississippi State job, Sam Pittman assumed he was gone. I’ll go over it again just to answer your question. It’s not the story I got but I’m not sure it matters. Acted like he hated to leave but the job was too good to turn down. The Hawk Hawkins says: Coach Briles made his first public statement since leaving Arkansas for TCU. I think Loggains was frustrated and when he got a chance to leave he took it.Ĭould he return as head coach some day? I think it’s unlikely but if he did great things at South Carolina, got himself a head coaching job and was impressive in that job, it could happen. I think there were some difference between Briles and Loggains. That went out the window when Loggains left for South Carolina before Briles left for TCU. I never said Loggains would be Pittman’s successor as head coach, only that he appeared to be the offensive coordinator in waiting. Did Briles’ messing around with these other OC jobs wreck Pittman’s plans?Ī. To football now where Spacehog says: I seem to remember that Mike had once said that Coach Pittman had Dowell Loggains in mind to be not only Kendall Briles’ successor as the OC but potentially Pittman’s successor as the Head Coach as well. I’ve seen new coaches at Arkansas who didn’t do the Hog call as well. He was actually pretty good at it for somebody with no ties to Arkansas. As he walked back to the dugout and saw all those fans booing him he looked up and sort said, Yeah okay, Woo Pig Sooie and all that. He wasn’t mocking Hog fans because they weren’t doing the Hog call when he got tossed. Armon Abbe wants to know: Do you think Alabama’s baseball coach crossed the line when he mocked Arkansas fans by calling the Hogs after getting tossed in Saturday’s game? To me he’s the new Vitello. I’d say they are in really good shape right now. The Hogs have already played those three and are tied for the lead in the West. In my opinion LSU, Arkansas, Alabama and Auburn are the three best teams in the SEC west. Cody Adcock, Dylan Carter and Gauge Wood pitched 8 1/3 innings in relief and gave up just 2 runs. The fact is, after getting killed on Friday night 12-1, Arkansas won game 2 at the plate on a 2-run HR by Caleb Cali. 318 they are second in the SEC in hitting and 14th nationally. Yes, the Tide was just 2-4 coming in but at. I don’t think a lot of Hogs fans realize just how good Alabama is. There aren’t a lot of assists in a game like that where everybody is trying to be the star.Ī. Whoever has the ball coming down the court wants to score and most of the time they’re gonna put it up. The McDonald’s All American game is a glorified pickup game. s-glies wants to know: What was your reaction to Baye Fall’s play in the McDonald’s game? He didn’t do much offensively but his defense looked good.Ī. I also think Brazile knows that he’s going to be a key piece of the puzzle next season and after having to sit on the bench in street clothes for most of the season he can’t wait to put that Hog uniform back on. He’s not listed on any of the mock draft boards. Looks like the NBA people are taking a wait and see attitude with Brazile’s injury. To me this is better news than landing the number one HS player in the country. Hawgredneck asks: Were you surprised by Brazile’s quick decision to announce he’s coming back? I thought we were going too have to sweat it out a while.
