Is Arkansas the GOAT stepping stone in CFB?

Arkansas has a great tradition of producing great coaches........that used Arkansas as a stepping stone. The only one that really ever stayed with the piggies was Broyles who had an amazing coaching tree and a solid record.

Consider this.

This is the list of a few coaches that have connections to Arkansas, whether it be as a player, a native, or a coach:

Paul "Bear" Bryant - (3 coaches that got their start under him went on to win national championships) Won 15 SEC championships and 6 national titles. Arkansas native.

Jimmie Johnson - Played ball at Arkansas. Won a national title and 2 Super Bowls.

Barry Switzer - Won 3 titles at OU and 12 Big 8 titles. Won Super Bowl XXX. Played and was an assistant at Arkansas for roughly 10 years from the mid 50s to mid 60s.

Johnny Majors - An assistant under Broyles in the 60s. Went on to become one of the top coaches in Tennessee history, which isn't really saying much, but whatever.

Gus Malzahn - This is pretty much beating a dead horse. Arkansas native. Known for his kindergarten 4 play offense that gives defenses fits. Led Auburn to a national championship under Chiz in 2010 and 3 years later almost won a national championship in his first year as a head coach; going from worst to first in one year. Was also an OC for Arkansas at one point.

Tommy Tuberville - Arkansas native. Played at Southern Arkansas. Known for his complete and utter domination of Alabama for 6 years in a row until Saban came along. Led Auburn to a perfect season in 2004.




So, all in all, you can clearly see that if Arkansas had KEPT or acquired all these coaches that were native to the program OR state, then they'd probably be one of the top programs in college football history ie like OU, Alabama, Notre Dame. Shame on you Arkansas. But thanks for the all the great coaches you gave to the rest of the nation
