I think Bobby did a solid job. He was better than Jimbo and better than I expected (low expectations), but nothing special per se. I think the problem on the OL prevented reaching that next level. Bobby wasn't able to scheme around it enough. I also think he failed to make adjustments to adjustments. We had entirely too many second halves where we couldn't hold the lead. Durkin gets the same criticism.

I find the reaction from Pig very strange. He's not going to be their savior.

Agree completely. Oline has been bad for a few years. No doubt Elko understands how important the LOS is on both sides of the ball. This has to be fixed.

I do think that the last 2 games Petrino was able to be much more creative even with a 3rd string QB. Seems to me Jimbo was putting his thumb down on Petrino's offense. Only so much an OC or the QB can do when the QB is mostly running for his life.

I think that fits Henderson's skillset a little better too.

He was clearly handcuffed by Jimbo, so I'm not sure you could really give a real accurate assessment of his job last year. The Oline being terrible and losing Weigman also muddies the water, I'm not sure Arkansas will have enough talent to run any system that is going to bring them sustained success over teams like Bama, Uga, and LSU year in and year out. Best they can probably hope for is not to become the next Nebraska which could clearly happen in the NIL era.

I think Bobby with the handcuffs off could have done some really good things with KJ Jefferson so I am glad he’s transferring. I think it was important we moved in a different direction under the new regime
