In 2013. Thoughts? Bad hire gets him fired.

True

After this clusterfrick, we won't know if it was a bad hire until the next guy has some time in the program. If Jeffy is canned, I see it more likely in 2014 or 2015.

True. Honestly there aren't a lot of big name coaches that would come to Arkansas to coach.

An up and coming coach will probably be who Jeff picks. It will take 4 years to see if that coach is any good, with Bobby's crazy recruiting classes.

So even if Jeff makes a bad hire, it will take 3-4 years to be sure it was the hire and not the talent level of the team.

So, no, unless Jeff hires Gene Cheezit, or a blind homeless man, he won't get fired in 2013

I'll buck the trend here.

I don't see how he stays employed. Forget the hire, he had very poor employee management going on. The Petrino stuff should have never been allowed to happen and it happened right under Long's nose.

So who would be the bad hire? Our top 3 choices are only supported by half the fans. So every hire is bad and good at the same time.
