re: So does Arkansas make a coaching change after this season?

It's obvious a change is needed. He just isn't SEC caliber

I've openly expressed my contempt for him, and I do hope he's fired, but his buyout for the next 3-4 years is like 15.4 million. And I agree, he's not an SEC caliber coach. He'd probably consistently finish behind OSU, Michigan State, Michigan, and probably Penn state if he were in the B10 now.

Also, if he goes, they need to probably get rid of Jeff Long, too. Some rednecks around here don't like him because he's a"Yankee"; I just don't think he's that great.

Petrino needed to find some place to go after that debacle in Atlanta, so it was likely more of a perfect storm, circumstance rather than expert negotiation that got him here. And I'm totally convinced that if a 5-star basketball player from Little Rock doesn't become a Hog, Mike Anderson's hire would have already looked regrettable, and, the way his recruiting has been, it looks like it's going to be a "fun year", now.

Dave Van Horn, who wasn't hired by Long, is a really good baseball coach, and we're fortunate to have him. I don't care the other sports, track included.
