Didn't FSU folks warn you about this 6 years ago?

The only red flag with Petrino’s offense when he ran it with his QB, is it was a dink and dunk offense. Long 12-17 play drives nabbing 3 to 8 yards a play. Which sucks, bc we have WRs that can stretch the field. But when Connor was healthy, BP was putting up numbers. Led the nation in QBR until his injury. Don’t believe that we had or would have had a bad offense with the starters had Connor not broken his foot vs Auburn. The only guy BP couldn’t get going was Max. We had a bad oline. Exception was Connor and Henderson could still make more plays under pressure vs Max. But Max was tough as nails.

Petrino took the opportunity to get back into big time college football. And it paid off. He's back in the club now. Initial shock of his return is in the past, and he's back in Fayetteville.
He was never gunning for Jimbo's job. He was gunning for Pittman's. A&M just helped get him in position. Jimbo could have paid him $1, and he would have taken it.
That is exactly what happened. Petrino is a damn good talent evaluator and glad to see him back in the SEC. Petrino recruited Jaylen Henderson off the FRESNO STATE bench and has developed him into an SEC quality QB.

When BP was at Arkansas before, he loved to hit defenses with deep bombs.

Arkansas needs as much positive momentum that they can get.

I’ll admit it. The people that said Jimbo’s ego wouldn’t allow jim to handover the offense to Petrino it were right.
We knew it was a possibility and that it could either be a huge success or a disaster/ firing.
The biggest problem though was that Jimbo trusted his job with Addazio as OL coach. Maybe he thought the buyout was too big, or maybe he didn’t care. But that OL was the worst I’ve ever seen.

Petrino is a great coach. Wish him well.

We had OL problems. Got to give your QB a clean pocket and time.

He 100 percent was not running his offense, Jimbo died on the same hill as miles PRIDE. As a LSU fan that is why I respect Nick Sabin so much and it’s a lesson to being a good leader embrace change. He did and he sustained success for more years. If less and Jimbo would have they would both still be at their schools.

Why the hell would he do that with his job in the line? Maybe he just wanted the buy out.
Bc Jimbo was never letting go of control and no one had any leverage to make him do so.
Stubborn…and rich now for it.

jimbo is les miles level stubborn. and that's what happens when you give these coaches guaranteed contracts. no incentive to change. contracts should be performance based.
