Darrell did not do the coach's show last night. No reason was given, but that is not the point of my post. Preston Laird did the show in his place. He was very impressive and I've been impressed with him before. If our head coaching position were to open up, I would not be against him being strongly considered for the job. He was part of successful teams at New Mexico State and UNLV. He is originally from Memphis which could certainly be a positive when it comes to recruiting. Generally, you don't hire the assistant when an unsuccessful coach leaves. However, the last time an unsuccessful ex-Razorback coach left, we hired one of his assistants, Porter Moser. I feel like that worked out pretty well.

So laird, solo and fish are on your short list.

I agree that any of the 4 would be a vast improvement. I have also noticed that Darrell only does press conferences after wins so those have been few and far between in his tenure. How does our AD let him get away with that? Joe walks out there and faces the press win or lose and brings players out to do the same. What does that teach our players? No wonder our ladies are so much mentally tougher than the guys.

Can't even get him to do Tip-In Club luncheons like coaches have done for decades.

Too much effort for ole DW. The rest of us would be out of a job if we mailed it in like he does. Probably not much more to say than I suck and my team sucks....thanks for coming.
