When it gets close to Chaggie bad, bail out.

You'll thank yourself for it later

When Rev lightly cusses and throws cussing acronyms out there, shite's getting sideways.

Rev, we got basketball brother. Oh, since you're a basketball season ticket holder, remember what I told you....when you clap at BWA, keep the beat.

Don't forget that JFB passed on Barry Switzer and Jimmy Johnson also.

Both of them would have put Arkansas on major probation. Johnson put Oklahoma State on probation and Switzer did the same at Oklahoma.

And we passed on Tommy Tubberville, Mike Gundy, Mike Norvell and Lane Kiffin.

Outside of Petrino, we seem to always choose the wrong guy out of our reported finalists. And even Petrino wasn’t our first choice. We had to get turned down by Grobe to get to him.

That won't work. We prefer putting ourselves on probation by hiring shitty coaches.

Tubberville was slightly better than Nutt, not a miss. Gundy was a huge miss, much better than Bert. Mike Norvell still not impressed as of now. Lank Kiffin is just average.

Really? Who GAF? We hired Danny Ford!!!! As Switzer said, "A poor man's Barry Switzer!". We passed on Switzer twice. I can tell you he would've taken and wanted the job when we hired Ford. Now justify hiring Ford over Switzer. You can't. Razorback football is forever in the shitter until we hire a coach with Razorback ties that wants to be here.

Barry Lunney Jr. will probably be the next big thing and take over for Saban at Bama and destroy our arse every year.

Frank didn't trust him who said I can't hire someone that has the personality of an alley cat. If you want to win at all costs then fine hire them both but the NCAA wasn't playing around at that time. They gave SMU the death penalty and they haven't recovered since.

Johnson started a wild and out of control culture in Miami, the other coaches who followed made it worse. The NCAA stepped in and put them on major probation in the 90s to the point they almost got the death penalty. Who cleaned it up? You guessed it an Arkansan named Butch Davis.

Switzer is another wild and out of control coached who had a toxic culture in Norman. He left and the NCAA put them on major probation in the 90s, they wandered in the desert. Who cleaned it up? Bob Stoops.

Frank couldn't afford to have Arkansas at risk for any type of severe probation or even the death penalty. If that happened then he would get fired and leave with shame. Arkansas already struggled in the 90s without probation and if you then add the probation or death penalty then they would have become another SMU.

The Danny Ford hire was terrible but he left on purpose to avoid the NCAA. He should never been hired and Frank should have retired. But no he helped make the problem worse.



If Arkansas missed on a a good coach it was Butch Davis.
