So when Smith and Arkansas lose to Bama by 30 in Week 3, do you think these Arkansas fans will still be arguing it was a good hire and only for the interim?

Talk about spin.

and you'd prefer an asst on staff with zero years of HC experience to serve as a coordinator and HC? yeah that would be a great plan.



Better than a coach who has shown he isn't capable of allowing his players to win a game for him. He actively fricked his game management....This is as bad as us hiring someone like Derek Dooley to be interim it's a shitty idea and will for sure cost us wins.

Yeah, I think it is way too late for you guys to go out and find a guy to coach this team to their potential. I think if you guys found someone else, it wouldn't have gone well for you guys next year. Same personnel Petrino would have had going into next season... Just keep the offense rolling the same way and you guys will be alright... 10-2 IMHO

He agreed to have an earpiece with BMFP telling him what to do. No one will know b/c he's old enough for hearing aids

Really, Jeff Long? You go and hire BMFP's mentor? Really? You fire BMFP for being BMFP and then you hire his mentor?

I like this from his Wiki page:

quote:

On April 23, 2012, Smith was selected as the new Captain of the Flagshio University of Arkansas following Bobby Petrino being fired. Smith has hired Jessica Dorrell as Recruiting Coordinator.

Oh well. Who needs 2013 or 2014 recruits anyway, amirite guys? Interim basis, surely this will end extremely well. Those kids that we're going to sign in 2013 don't really care who our coach will be. Nope. Couldn't care less. And those 2014 guys? Well, Starkville, even though LSU, Texas, OU, Bama, Bama, etc will have a good 2-3 year relationship established, we'll surely be able to sweep in and grab an excellent class once we hire someone.

fricking retarded arse bullshite. Interim is a disaster for the future of the program. 2 year pass, coming right up.
