He has the ability to make arky desperate enough to hire Petrino back.

I do miss Petrino, but we're not Louisville. He reminded us after a decade of Nuttball that it was possible to actually win here. A lot of people don't remember that Arkansas was in dynasty mode pre-'90s. But at the same time, his good years depended on an abnormal upswing of in-state receiver and QB talent, and I'm not sure his cursory attention to defense was going to keep us in the hunt each year. His recruiting abilities were definitely not good enough to go out and get what we needed offensively when our state failed to produce an adequate amount.

I think we'll be alright with Bret. He's going to get us laughed to death for a couple of years for being an idiot, but we're all used to that after JLS.
