Any of those 3 would have about as much success as Jamele hill - although you have a better shot at her than gruden

Mr Ham..I would like a romp in the hay with Elle Mcpherson or Cindy Crawford, but then again I can dream. Gruden has it made and has turned down better and bigger jobs then arky and is making around 7 mil per year I think..Yes I an convinced he will drop what he is doing to come coach your team.

It's been reported Skip Holtz was seen in Arkansas on a Harley with a hot blonde.

If you take the time to look at the Gruden thread you will see most Arkansas fans aren't buying the Gruden rumor, although Miami and Notre Dame are not elite jobs anymore. Most who re supporting the Gruden rumor are heading it from someone else, who supposedly have inside sources (not buying it myself).

Gruden is in! i just heard this too.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.
Jon Gruden ain't leaving MNF for Arkansas, and there is nothing that can prove that he is even interested in the job.

Garrick McGee would be a better immediate fit for Arkansas than anybody else out there.

Gruden
I've never understood the infatuation that college football fanbases have with him.
He's an offensive minded coach that took over a great defensive team that was built by Tony Dungy and Monte Kiffen. Sure, he won a Super Bowl in his first year at Tampa, but it was with a team that was great on defense. His offenses sucked at Tampa.
He is exactly what you guys despised in Nutt: Irratic and not consistent. Up one year and down the next two. Gruden was 57-55 at Tampa after inheriting a team built to win the Super Bowl. His next two seasons after winning the SB, he went 7-9 and 5-11. Then, like Nutt did at Arkansas, he won his division with a 11-5 record, and then went 4-12 the next year. He finished his career at Tampa going 9-7 his last two years.
Does this guy have the burning desire and energy to go out there and recruit after having a nice, cushy job for several years? He's been out of college football for over 20 years and never served as a head coach.
Sure, he's a guy that gets some splashy headlines when you hire him and he will probably do well with the team you have for one year. But...what about years 2-6? Sorry, I don't see him being a consistent, successful college football coach after year one.

I might be the only one fine with Butch Davis, despite the risk.
He is by far the best available coach, and the risk is really not that high. He and Gruden are the only names that would give me any semblance of confidence that Arkansas could be as good of a team as they are now, 4 or 5 years from now.

This.
Plus, he took a high character roster built by Tony Dungy at Tampa Bay and replaced it with self-centered thugs. He had no QB stability and ran that team into the ground. Tampa Bay fans hate him worse than Arky fans hate Nutt. If Arkansas hires him, they end up in a couple of years like Tennessee post Kiffen and Florida post Meyer.

Butch is who I want as well. If we can keep Paul Petrino for a few years with a Butch Davis led defense that could be a pretty nice duo.

Maybe if we didn't have Paul Petrino as offensive coordinator.
But as long as Paul is here we can maintain the same offense. Therefore, any quality coach should be able to "fit" as a CEO type coach this year. Then begin hiring his own staff and implementing his philosophies the next year.

If you want Butch Davis is worse than having a known liar and cheat in Petrino. Davis would get Arkansas sanctions just like he did his previous 2 college stops.
Wait, what?
How is he a known liar and cheat.
He was not linked to cheating At neither Miami or North Carolina.
After invesigations nothing showed that Davis had any involvement in rule infractions.

People like to regurgitate what they hear on message boards and pass it off as fact without doing a little research first.

So he has won the highest achievement.
Also with Gruden's personality and the celebrity surrounding him it will be pretty easy to recruit kids. That and the flash of a super bowl ring. I don't think we land Gruden but lets not all pretend that he wouldn't be a game changing hire in the west. Gruden is mentioned with every coaching search for a reason. He seems like a guy that would fit in better with the college coaches anyways.
