re: Is there any realistic scenario where we have sustained success?

Depends on your definition of sustained success are we ever gonna be a dynasty again? No way. Can we have success like Michigan State? Yes, that's possible. We have to out coach, out hustle, and execute to perfection just as Mark Dantonio gets his Spartans to do. There will be up and down seasons because a lack of talent or losing all the DEVELOPED talent at once. Great systems work anywhere, and Arkansas has the potential to do big things like win a conference championship, go to the playoffs, make consecutive NY6 bowl appearances, etc. We still play in the SEC so anything is possible if you can make a run. We just need to right system and as of now I don't think we have all the right coaches to have that kind of system, major staff changes are needed.
