For those worried about his ‘people slills’, take a good look at the best coaches in football, Saban, Gus, etc. they can be abrasive at times - I believe you call it passion! So freaking what! It’s an abrasive world we live in! We better have someone unlike the previous Coach who never showed any whatsoever. Uncommon allright, see where it got us? Lower GPA and an awful team, from a competitive standpoint.
FWIW, I’d tend to go along with anything Ken Hatfield thinks on who our coach should be. If it’s someone I’m warm to, I’d become enthusiastic if Ken wanted him. If it’s someone I don’t want, it’s someone I’d warm to. Great man, good man, great coach, bleeds Razorback red. Now that JFB has gone, he’s about the closest thing we have left as an icon.
My information about Ken Hatfield’s opinion is second hand. I will say that my source is extremely reliable and a friend to Ken. Ken was asked about some of the potential coaches. Beyond that, sorry, I’m not telling, especially since it is once removed from Coach Hatfield.
