From Otis:

quote:

According to a very good source, Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema has narrowed his search for an offensive coordinator down to two people. "I do know one of the two is Kurt Roper," the source said. "I don't know the other, but I do know the decision is coming very soon."


I'm not going to lie, I really hope it's not Roper.

If he makes one bad call everyone will start calling him Kurt Doper.

Can't even read Otis without hearing his goofy arse voice.

No way it's Warner....because he would be my #1 choice and I'm not that lucky.

Roper isn't my top choice but I think he would do ok. If nothing else our QBs should be better coached.

LSU fans on the CC Board seemed to think that the NCAA will ok another spot on the coaching staff and that's what they're saving Brick Haley for. Any chance if we get Roper that we bring in Joker Phillips as well and have Michael Smith move to some kind of administrative role until the extra spot is available?

No idea if there's any basis of truth to an extra spot coming. Just started thinking and typing before I could stop myself.

Bielema was in Florida today and is coming back tomorrow.

At this point I think its 90% done that we are either hiring Joker Phillips or Kurt Roper, could not tell you which, but I would be stunned if it were not one of the two.

If it is indeed Roper, I should remind everyone of this -- I melted a tad when we hired Robb Smith and our defense beasted this year.

Watch us melt over hiring Roper and then our offense go all '99 Rams on everybody we play

My sources tell me our OC is currently an analyst for the NFL. His name rhymes with Don Putin. But I can't name names per sources.

Couldn't it just be a recruiting visit?

Could be, but, my gut tells me based on what he said and the way he said it that it was for a coach... not a recruit...

The timing, etc just makes it highly probable that its Roper or Joker
