Charlie Strong is a bad idea, imo. No way he'd be able to recruit the defensive talent to arky he would need to keep things going up there. Quite frankly, I really don't know how a black football coach would be received. No knock on the good people of Arkansas, but that's just the way it is. If I were Long I'd throw a number at Dana Holgerson that WV would never match and make him turn us down. Arky's success was built on a great offensive scheme that exploited defensive weaknesses. If Dana can put up 450+ yards on LSU's D then he can probably get 600 against most of the sec. Recruiting talented under the radar skill players is arky's tradition, so as long as the coaching is there you can continue that. The goal should be to remain competitive with LSU and bama, and take the rest of the sec to the woodshed on a regular basis by essentially outcoaching them, which can damn sure be done. If Dana says no I'd be looking at June Jones and MAYBE Chris Peterson. G.Patterson is the only defensive coach I'd call.

Mike Leach would be good for Arky. The guy was 84-43 at TTU, never had a losing season and took them to a Bowl game every year.

I'm not sure this is wrong. We aren't going to out-bama bama. And we damned sure aren't going to go head to head on a consistent basis against Bama and LSU for those huge defensive monsters that they seem to get. Our best possible source of getting those types of players is in Texas, where we have to take the leftovers of Texas, OU, and probably TAMU.
Holgerson would be fun to watch, and I'd damn sure enjoy throwing down 70 on a few teams
