re: Is Arkansas the GOAT stepping stone in CFB?

When Barry coached at Oklahoma, I couldn't stand the guy but the more I learned about him, the more I grew to really like him.

Gus Malzahn, Tommy Tuberville, an Lou Holtz are good examples of people who became good coaches by riding the pine and learning the game.

Frank Broyles was a great teacher. Assistants could easily excel as head coaches by learning from his plethora of mistakes.
