re: Arkansas-I Know You Like Charlie Strong But What About Kirby Smart?

I like Strong and he was someone I wanted us to hire last off season.

He knows the SEC. He knows how to recruit. He has HC experience and is turning around UL nicely.

Seriously, the resume of Strong vs Smart is really not comparable.
Smart is a complete question mark and there is really nothing to indicate he would or wouldn't make a good HC.

Honestly though, I think Arkansas would do better to get an offensive minded coach. It is going to take a good amount of years to become a winner with a defensive team at Arkansas due to talent, and thats assuming Arkansas can get the talent necessary.
Thats another thing, the hogs rely on TX recruiting and the fact of the matter is that after A&M, Texas, OU, LSU, OSU, and all the other schools that recruit here, there is just not much left on the defensive side of the ball.

I think Briles would be a much better hire and would give you a solid "IN" for Tx recruiting.
