Yet people want a coach that's been in mid major conferences and dominated?
It doesn't make sense to me how one minute someone can talk down on what Gundy has done, but talk up Petersen/Patterson for what they have done against much lesser competition. Never mind the fact that Pettersen has absolutely no recruiting ties to any state in the southeast or that Patterson sits in DFW and has never gotten on an airplane to recruit.

Maybe what's lost in translation here is how I view our program. I've followed Razorback football religiously since 93 and there isn't a bone in my body that sees our program as anything more than 2nd tier. It's the hard truth of who we are in the grand scheme of things.
We are NOT a Top 10 or even Top 15 program. If we want to be, we have to have a Petrino-type coach that can overcome all the built in disadvantages of being a school in a tiny, poor, irrelevant state that puts out no more half a dozen HS kids worth two craps every year.
Gundy and 90% of the coaches out there do not have what it takes to make us a top program. It will take a monster hire.
If we hire a monster, we can watch the BCS show and see our name again. If we hire a 'good' coach like Gundy, we will be the same ole' Arkansas we have always been.
There's your daily dose of truth.

quote:I'm gonna have to disagree there. 1/4 of Boise's team is from Texas. So he's obviously figured something out to get kids to go up there from the south. Petersen has also beaten OU and Georgia while at Boise. I have a lot more faith in him than I do Gundy.
