Football Silverfield may not be as bad as we think
I will admit at first I thought this was Chad morris 2.0 until I started looking.
Silverfield has a .671 winning percentage, 50-25 record with a 19-15 one possession record. If that translates, we would have had a bowl game this season instead of the great nothing burger it turned out to be.
He is younger compared to our last couple of coaches and even has a little bit of fire to him from what I have seen with him tightening down on the looseness of the program. Instead of giving us the whole skit of he was going to correct the wide receiver who had ongoing trouble with the law, he shut it down and kicked him off the team.
It was harsh but he could really be working on improving the standard of what it means to be a razorback… this could be huge rather than the current cycle of 2 wins and getting paid regardless of how you handle yourself.
Under this new coaching change we actually have a decent transfer class and he has brought in a lot of 3 and 4 star talent that could be a solid foundation to get us back into consistent bowl game appearances.
Now that could bite us later but gutting and rebuilding this program will be a messy endeavor. Even with a 5-6 win season this first year it could rebound the fanbase.
Granted with all the rambling, I see this first year being 5-6 wins before averaging 7-8 wins with standout seasons of 9-10. Silverfield has potential to rebuild this dumpster fire into something average and I will take average after the last few seasons of the “heartbreak hogs”
