I just think it's funny how, 6 months ago, Petrino wasn't even a great coach. "What has he ever WON?" "Chizik's a better coach, he has a MNC."

The overwhelming majority of rant fans ranked Petrino behind: Saban, Miles, Chizik, Spurrier, and even Richt.

But now, with Petrino leaving, all of the sudden it's all "Arkansas is fricked now that Petrino isn't there!"

Pick a fricking position and stay with it. Either a) Petrino was the 2nd best coach in this league and the primary reason Arkansas made it as high as we did, meaning that Arkansas will have a harsh fall back to reality. Or b) Petrino really wasn't a great coach, like you all tried to suggest months ago, and Arkansas will be just fine as long we don't hire a Nutt-y kinda guy.

Petrino was a good offensive coach, a very good one. Not a great overall coach. Now, that offensive mind is gone, and you don't have a defense. That offense kept them competitive the last few years, while the defense prevented them from winning championships. Now, the offense will be completely gone after this year. Good luck.

Petrino was a great coach. I would say 3rd best due to recruiting. Saban could get 5stars to Arky so u can't use that excuse. However, he may have been #1 in game coach. Very good at adjusting and picking on weaknesses. Also, if qb has time, kept defenses off balance.

VC- I'm not saying they will be great in recruiting, never have been. They will at least be around the same rank as they usually are.
