OK State is looking at Zac Robinson, G.J. Kinne and Collin Klein. Robinson is a dynamic offensive mind. He would be a great fit there

1. Arkansas's financial muscle is not an issue with Tyson, Jones, some Walton, and several others money...
2. OK St ran out T Boone Pickens money and there is some outsized programs in the Big XII when comes to cash. Cody Campbell of Texas Tech is trying to be the next Phil Knight. The other Texas schools are not shrinking violets either. BYU has splashed the cash in hoops and won't have issues in football. Heck mythological Swift-Kelce money for Cincinnati might be more than OK St.
would leave his job as OC here after 4 years to work for Traylor at Arky ?
would leave here to be HC at UTSA ? I dunno
can they match salary ?
Even if it’s only as an analyst bring the Pitt boss here.
UTSA coach makes over 2.5 million, which surprised me. That would more than double Lunney’s salary, making it enticing.
Would Pittman be interested in coaching OL here if Bret offered, or is that too low of a drop for him?
at his age, he’s not getting a DC or OC spot at a big time school. kinda depends on how bad he wants to still coach amd climb the ladder again. guys that age tend to wind up at G5 schools. if you love coaching , and some guys really do , you don’t care how big the school is

Pittman could just stay at Arkansas and be an “ambassador”. He has good relationships with the donors and connects with the culture. He might be old enough to just accept the paycheck and leave behind the pressure.
If he still wants to coach, he can take a job at [name your school] and be one of the best paid o-line coaches. Would be a coup to get him at Illinois.
It’s like Iowa fans crying about their offense. Their games are boring but they don’t make mistakes and win. Let switch up to an air raid and a 3-3 defense like Wisconsin did. I bet the outcome would be similar. Nil helps with recruiting but Wisconsin doesn’t have the athletes instate to run that. Not to mention not many teams in the Midwest have success running that
UTSA could snatch Lunney.
indeed
good coordinators may stay good ,but they usually don’t stay coordinators

Thing is Arkansas is Lashlee's home
Who are 14, 15 and 16? Vanderbilt is currently ranked. Kentucky has been ranked recently.
It just means more.
I was thinking Miss State/Vandy/KY but you might be right. 16 might be it.

If Lashlee makes the move to Arkansas it's going to be because the Razorbacks are making a substantially big increased investment into the program. Which begs the question of why they didn't do that before if football truly mattered to their boosters like they act in front of media.
Was just listening to College Sports Radio and the beat writer from Arkansas was on there saying he is pretty high on the list of candidates.
i’m not surprised he is high on their list , but I will be shocked if they hire a guy without head coaching experience .
that list should be , in no particular order :
Lashlee
Traylor
Sumrall
I just don't know how you could give the keys to the program to someone without success in that role before .
the rules of the game behind the scenes has changed dramatically the past 3-4 years

I think Arkansas has ton of big money boosters, however it is one of the few schools with fingers in three pies for men with a strong baseball program.
I like Lunney a lot but I can’t see any way he gets that job
