John L Smith was a terrible move.
What always bothered me about that is that Arkansas could have gotten a decent coach at the time. I mean it is an SEC coaching job. They could have offered a 3 year deal to their top choice and just explained that the deal was what it was and if he said no then go to the next guy. Smith was like admitting that the season was going to suck so lets just stick this guy in there to get us through it.

Bobby Petrino was fired and John L. Smith was hired in April..... Jeff Long didn't have time to go on an long, extensive coaching search. So he hired John L. Smith, who was a Special Teams coach and familiar with the Arkansas program. He was obviously a terrible coach and set us back a few years, but that opened the door for our current coach.
