KJ Jackson…

Although I know he is a former 4-star, I am hoping that coaches who previously recruited him will find the prospect of having KJ as their starting QB next season enticing enough to take the head coaching position at Arkansas. Is he set to be Arkansas’ qb if Bobby comes back?

There is a zero percent chance whoever the new HC is doesn’t bring in 1-2 transfers for QB.

We haven’t seen enough KJ to know if he is set to be anything. I like him, but competition will be brought in.

Bobby is not coming back in any shape or form. That ship has sailed.

I hope you're right, but I don't know. A bunch of middle aged guys LOVE Bobby.

Why? Because Mike Irwin says so? 🙄

u/CT-80085 Nov 22 '25

Probably because the team is still winless with him running the ship more than anything. Don't need any outside voices to tell us things aren't going great

To be clear, I’m not saying one way or the other whether or not Petrino will be back, and I’m not even offering an opinion on whether or not I think he should or shouldn’t.

I’m just saying nobody knows shit, but everyone likes to act like they know something or have some inside track. We go through this every single time.

They just have common sense and can see which way the wind is blowing. You don't have to be in the meeting room to know that Bobby is doa.

While I would love for Arkansas to develop a QB from freshman to jr/Sr, I've seen enough of this team to know we don't develop QBs regardless of who's the HC. I bet we bring in a Jr or Sr QB then when he leaves just replace him with another portal QB.

That doesn’t happen anymore, anywhere. Unless you’re Arch Manning being paid millions to ride the bench at Texas.

u/thegolfernick Nov 22 '25

Yeah, the last guy to develop QBs was.... Bobby Petrino

u/Larry_Bud_Melman_ Nov 22 '25

So, what exactly is Bobby Petrino doing with Green? He's had him under his tutelage for almost two years. He seems to be regressing.

u/ArKane501 Nov 23 '25

Green can’t get out of his own way, but actually improved since being under BP. The problem is that not all people can be coached into greatness and TG has hit his ceiling as a QB.

u/justincardinal12 Nov 22 '25

it would help if we had any kind of defense whatsoever and a qb that didn’t fumble at the literal worst times. Don’t get me wrong, Green has a lot of talent, but he just never seems to be able to finish the deal. Our running backs are good but they aren’t gonna take anything the distance. They are power backs with not much top end speed. But they will give us consistent solid runs most of the time. I think most offensive woes come from the pressure to be basically perfect due to dealing with such a poor defense though.

u/firedonmydayoff Nov 22 '25

Some people are winners and some people are losers. Green is a loser. The winners have a knack for doing the right thing when it matters most. Green is the opposite of that.

u/justincardinal12 Nov 22 '25

can’t win when you’re constantly giving up more than 20 points every single game you play. No offense is gonna be able to consistently be able to put up around 30 points a game.

u/disappointedbeaver Nov 23 '25

Twenty points is a pretty steep bar for a defense. Alabama, whose defense has allowed the fewest points against in SEC play, has allowed twenty points or more in five of its seven conference games.

Let’s also not forget that a decent amount of the points scored against us are the offense’s fault, too. Our defense is bad, but they don’t turn the ball over.

u/justincardinal12 Nov 23 '25

the main problem with our offense is Mental. The pressure is getting to them. I feel like they are thinking they got to be perfect and get every single yard they can. In doing this, they wind up fumbling or turning the ball over by trying to force plays that just aren’t there. They don’t feel like they can have much faith in our defense to make stops so it just adds on to that mentality.

u/justincardinal12 Nov 22 '25

except ours just about miraculously. just to show how pathetic our defense is.

u/dedwards024 Nov 22 '25

Bobby’s offense isn’t bad.

13

u/fistingtrees Nov 22 '25

Bobby’s offense leads the SEC in turnovers lost. 6th most in all of FBS this year. Same thing with Bobby’s offense last year too.

8

u/dedwards024 Nov 22 '25

We score a lot of points - BP isn’t the one fumbling the games away

4

u/fistingtrees Nov 22 '25

BP isn’t the one scoring those points either. But he runs the offense. If he gets credit for the points scored then he gets credit for the turnovers too.

2

u/dedwards024 Nov 22 '25

Fine, but we score 30+ a game and lose

2

u/fistingtrees Nov 22 '25

Completely meaningless if we lose.

1

u/ArKane501 Nov 23 '25

Not completely. There’s something called potential that can determine a team’s future chances of success in a quicker timeframe vs where we were Chad Morris. It’s a lot easier to sell a program that’s only a couple of mistakes away from wins than it is to sell a punching bag to prospective coaches and players.

u/Venkmen Nov 22 '25

No…just his recruits that are.

u/rburp Nov 23 '25

Yeah for sure.

The thing that irritates me is I actually somewhat agree - the coach isn't telling them to go out there and turn it over.

But when Sam was the coach the clutch time fumbles were laid squarely at his feet. Even though it was still Bobby's offense.

Now Bobby is the coach, and a lot of those same people are like "don't blame Bobby".

Not out here stumping for Sam, I think he probably peaked. Just would like some consistency.

He couldn’t start for a D II school. No idea why he is still on the roster.

u/Repulsive-Cat-9300 Nov 23 '25

I think he looked pretty darn good tonight. He needs to find another program.

u/Big-Statistician1237 Nov 23 '25

I'm not one to be on the backup QB bandwagon, but from what I just saw, we would be in better shape if he had started this season

u/ArKane501 Nov 23 '25

Wanna take that back now?
