mrydel wrote:Interesting factoid from Arkansas radio. A local talk DJ was at the press conference today and was asked if any other coaches were there. He said there were about 4 and that he recognized Jeff Traylor, who he knew from his days as a east Texas FB coach. Is it not odd that Traylor is at the Chad presser if he is running the team and considered for our head coaching position? Seems like he is gone too.

Not a bad place to live and work at age 50... especially if you are doubling your salary and your team plays in front of large quantities of people.

If you guys want to follow the Larry Brown model you aren't looking at the right guy.

-Won National Championship at college job
-Won Superbowl at pro job
-History of scandal



Barry Switzer is our guy!

Does it not seem odd for Traylor to be in Fayetteville?


Out of respect for Chad and as thanks for bringing him onboard. The end.

Trying to act like he would be hired at Arkansas to put pressure on us. Gotta know when you are getting played.

I want the next coach to have the friends, connections and savy to get us a P5 invite.

If our next coach can do that he deserves to be paid like Saban. He'd be a miracle worker.

Pete Carroll seems to fit all the criteria as well. Best let him age a couple more years

If Traylor was at the Arky intro for Chad, he was smart. Learn how this business works, how to present yourself, learn from Chad.

Traylor has an option to going to Razorbacks if SMU gig falls through. My guess he would be Co-Coordinator of Offense. Remember he as Associate HC here, probably for money, so it would have to be as OC for him to go to Arkansas.
