You have a B1G guy in his 40's with most of his experience coming from not playing in the SEC. Is it possible there will be some adjustment? Mizzou thought they would come in and beat "Old Man Football" and look how that year finished up.

Not exactly very comparable IMO. Pinkel and Mizzou came in expecting to win by playing the same way they did in the B12. Their staff and philosophies didn't change at all as far as I know. I know the circumstances are different but Bielema diversified his staff a lot and brought in new guys from every major conference. We have ZERO Big 10 guys coaching the offensive side of the ball and only his 2 best from Wisconsin on defense. Our offensive staff is made up of 2 SEC guys (OL and OC), a B12 guy (WR) and a PAC12 guy (RB). All of whom are very proven. And we had Miami's WR coach for about 2 weeks before he got hired to be the OC as Cuse.

He deliberately brought in a staff wasn't full of people that only knew the B1G because he knew the SEC isn't like the B1G.

I see that but here is the USA Today and they have the Hogs at #83 (second worst in the SEC after Kentucky)

— Dream season: Arkansas weathers the storm to win six games in Bielema's first season.

— Nightmare season: The Razorbacks open 3-0 but lose every game the rest of the way.
