Imagine if Petrino was still at Arkansas... There would not be one bad team in the west

I would take Bert over Petrino for the long term. You have to understand what Bert inherited. He not only went 180 from Petrino's style, but there was also a year between them that was total disaster in terms of team chemistry. Arkansas was a pretty good team at the end of the season and will be MUCH better this season. They have a decent chance of upsetting Auburn in the opener. No weak teams in the West this year.
