They’re going to be forced to stick with Petrino

That’s a dumb list. I’d say Arkansas is 4th ahead of Ok State and VaTech. Just on resources, conference, facilities, etc.

Florida is a better job than Penn State.

As much as I hate the piggies, I can still admit that they are a much better job than Okie Lite or VT.

Silly to have them 6th.

It has the potential to be a 7-5/8-4/9-3 yearly job.

But it's currently 4-8/5-7/6-6 type job.

Piggie has all the potential in the world to be a consistent 9 win program. The problems there are a bit deeper and more complex than just a coaching change.

But if you get the right people in the athletic department, good things can happen. It would be a job, but not an insurmountable job to accomplish.

Correct. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before. But then again, the landscape of CFB has changed tremendously since we were a consistent Top 25 team. Just means there is way less margin for error

They haven't had good leadership since the death of Frank Broyles.

For 50 years he protected Arkansas from continuous stupid decisions that would destroy any program.

They need to hire former players with boots on the ground that can rally the troops.

The SEC is honestly too competitive right now. You have to be a little lucky if you aren’t a name team

Why is this a bad thing? Petrino is a proven head coach and still knows how to run an offense. He was left a shite show and is trying to navigate through the season. Gotta let him assemble his own staff. Petrino is better than a lot of these names I've seen thrown around. And he has actually proven it in the SEC before.

Petrino has a habit of focusing too much on offense. All the money at Arkansas went into the offense

Stupid list. Okie State should be 7, not 4. Fla is better job than Sandusky St.

Better conference, I’d say a stronger program and more passionate fan base. But it’s a pretty tough place to win consistently because of the strength of the conference. Arkansas will probably never be able to compete in recruiting with the Bama,UGA,and LSU’s. A really, really good coach could possibly win 9 games a year there, vs winning 10-11 games a year at OK St.

Before 1958, Arkansas was the worst program in the SWC.

They are currently the worst program in the SEC.

This isn't anything that they haven't seen before.
