The best year he had was the first year in 06 when he got the keys to the Corvette and went 12-1 after Alvarez left.

In 7 seasons, this happened:

* 5-3 in conf. in 07
* 3-5 in conf. in 08
* 5-3 in conf. in 09
* Had two decent years, but dropped the ball completely and lost both BCS bowls
* 4-4 in conf. in 12

They're going to the Rose bowl because Ohio St wasn't eligible.

All I can do is sigh in relief. Big downgrade from Petrino. Can't recruit, either.

Let's see who he hires as a staff first.

He does run a style that is successful in the SEC, but I don't think he will get the bodies to accomplish it.

I definitely see him as a downgrade from Petrino, and I think a lot of Hog fans would rather have Petrino back if that was an option

Scared? No, of course not. But I think he can do well there. We'll see. Arky has a lot of inherent disadvantages.

LSU tends to do well against that style of offense. So, no.

I'd be worried if he went to a place like Georgia that he could easily recruit at.

Not really that worried with him at Arkansas. But he might prove me wrong and recruit some nice classes. The jury is still out.

The only coach that scares me is the grass eating Rainman who defies logic over in Baton Rouge.

Dude went on a rant about urban recruiting committed players, he's in for a rude awakening in the SEC
