re: Dispelling the myth that Brandon Allen will hold Arkansas back

What would make you say that Enos would be a better QB coach than Chaney?

Enos actually played QB. Enos' offensive philosophy is more in line with Bert's.

I've seen a lot of bad offensive coordinating in my time, and Chaney is up there as one of the worst.

Seriously??? Jim Chaney is one hell of a QB coach.

It didn't show at Arkansas. He had a stable of 4-star QB's and Allen was the only one he thought was good enough to play. And this thread only exists because many people don't think Allen's any good.

Petrino is one hell of a QB coach. To be kind, Chaney has an innovative system, which isn't even all that great, but he sucked as a QB coach. That's why Arkansas fans were pleading with Bielema to hire a QB coach when Chaney was here.

As for Allen, he really improved late last year. He settled down and began looking, and playing, like he was comfortable. The talent has always been there, but he's had some mental hangups, probably caused by being thrown to the wolves in his freshmen year under Smiley.
