They weren't good before. Hard to see how they will be worseHe will destroy what Pittman has built with the teams' chemistry. I don't know of a coach that is more demeaning to players, fellow coaches, and the support staff than Petrino.
Funny, really. When Jimbo hired him I couldn't see how it would work. Now, with his most recent hire, I know it won't work.
Mark my words. Arkansas will have one of the worst defenses in the SEC next season because Petrino won't allow his offensive players to be hit in practice. History will repeat itself.
They were better than Ole Miss, LSU, and Auburn when it comes to total defense. Their defensive efficiency numbers were low this past season due to scoring defense. But otherwise, they were middle of the pack in the SEC.They weren't good before. Hard to see how they will be worse

Scoring defense, as mentioned.Bottom of pack in Ws
I honestly believe that's what the plan is. I wouldn't be shocked at all if Petrino becomes the full time head coach of Pitman gets fired.Odds on Petrino being Interim HC at the end of next season?
Who authorized the hire? Pittman or the admin?Odds on Petrino being Interim HC at the end of next season?
Jeff Long was the AD then...same guy that hired Les Miles at Kansas when he left UArk.Wasn’t he fired for cause when all of that went down? I don’t keep up with Arkansas, but is it the same A.D. or have they changed since then?
AnM QB went portal...decent playerSo, Bobby's offense will work only if he has right qb... but the thing is... their best option is in portal. who are they going to snag that's going to help them win games?

Of all the OCs out there, I would not pick him. Period. That was a scandal, and even though he may have been heartfelt, he deserves scrutiny, and being the OC somewhere else. Their BOT is a lot like Texas A&M. Wonder what Moto Girl thinks. LMAORe: Petrino... To me, the move is surprising, but unlike at A&M, I imagine he'll get full control of the offense. But Arky is going to have to find some playmakers though, including a QB now, to even have a shot at threading the needle for next year... and that's asking a lot. As far as Petrino going back.... some will remember he went and spoke to the Little Rock TD Club a few years back (which is a pretty big deal in that area). He apologized for how things ended and got emotional in doing so. Now, I'll let others decide how contrite it was and all that, doesn't matter to me... but it immediately won him back some support and grace from the Arkansas faithful in that room. And I very, very seriously doubt at the time, he considered he'd ever have a legitimate opportunity to go back there as a coach.
