Briles must have his pick of jobs right now. Wonder what Venables offered him before moving on to Lebby. Surprised Briles would turn down that job.Sam Pittman leaves UGA to take the HBC job at perennial SEC doormat and 2-win Arkansas, and turns them into a winning program, beating #15 Texas, #7 TAMU, #17 MSST, LSU, and more.
Pittman becomes one of the hottest coaching properties in CFB, but his ties to ARKY are keeping him there. Many speculate he could be the next coach at Bama/UGA/etc when his time is done at ARK.
Briles is Sam Pittman's OC, and Pittman has publicly said he's desperate to keep him.
Briles has improved every offense he's ever taken over, and every one of them has declined after he left. He's never, ever had the tools that he would have to work with to execute his offense as he would at Miami.
Sometimes you really need to stop and not overthink it. Maybe Sam Pittman and the CFB industry know a little something? Like the draft, coaching hires can be a bit of a crapshoot. But Briles is a buy right now and would objectively be a very, very well-regarded score of a hire.
