When you really study great leaders or coaches, most of them are really master promoters as well,

at least at the beginning of their run at wherever they were.

Yeah, let's go on!

Let's go call them hogs!

Yeah, I'm vulnerable, no question.

When I put something out like that, you know, my wife, like she can be embarrassed by stuff, my daughter can be embarrassed by stuff, and people are going to say stuff, you know what I mean?

You're not going to please everybody. Everybody's not running around saying, hey, those videos are great.

There's people

that are gonna you know have their own opinion but what I'm worried about is how do I

put Arkansas basketball in the best light with recruiting and our fan base and our student body on campus and that's really

the biggest concern that I have and we have as a staff. Welcome to the Hogpive. I'm Bo Mattingly and this episode is made possible by our friends at Core Brewing Company,

Rockin Protein, First Security Bank, and Sarra's in Resort.

As it did for everyone else, Eric Musselman's first season as the head

basketball coach at Arkansas came to an abrupt end.

You guys played so hard and it was a really, really successful year.

You know, I started to talk and then all of a sudden I started looking at guys and some of them were confused and then Silla raised his hand.

J.C. raised his hand and said

coach does that mean we're done?

Like he was she couldn't believe it and I said yes our our seasons you know over.

It's not fair you know you guys who sacrifice.

I just started crying you know I couldn't hold back

So not knowing what might be next muscleman and his staff quickly got back to work.
