Why do the arky faithful think that Bret is better than Petrino?

I believe Bret can build the team, but Petrino had more success than Bret currently has. BCS appearance and was ranked #3 going into the final weekend in 2011.

He's a good coach but he's not better than Petrino

Petrino had more success because of one recruiting class from in state. Petrino did not recruit well, at all. Petrino was a good coach, but his downfall will always be the defensive side of the ball and the lack of recruiting there. That is why under him, Arkansas would beat everyone but Alabama and at times LSU. He was so controlling. He will not let his defensive coordinator call his own defense. Petrino has his own defensive play book and the DC must stick by that book and not sway from it.
Petrino will always put his best athletes on the offensive side of the ball. It doesn't matter if they are a key cog on the defensive side. If they can play just a hint of offense, that is where they are going.
Bret to me, is building the program the right way. Strong in the trenches on both sides. Has an offensive and defensive coordinator that he lets do their own coaching. He doesn't meddle unless he feels there is a need. He is likable and isn't a dick.

Bert is a better fit for our program and a better man.We're fortunate to have gotten him.
He has a plan and I'm anxious to see it come to fruition..
Petrino is self explanatory..

I don't. I'm not sucking a coach's dick over a Texas bowl and a liberty bowl
I don't buy how long it supposedly takes to "build a program"

Who said he was? Is this one of those cases of one or two Arkansas fans saying something and someone on the Rant running with it like the whole fanbase thinks it?

Well, but for an Anthony Jennings prayer to Travin Dural, he would be 3-0 vs LSU.

Because Petrino is at another school

Bielma did well at Wisconsin. But he's done awful at Arkansas. Everybody but hog fans knows that.

It's because Petrino is not there now. Everyone who has watched Arkansas under the 2 coaches know that Petrino has proven to clearly be better. The facts prove it. Arkansas fans that love Bert are like Vol fans . It's always about how good they will be next year.

Petrino peaked at arkansas. he has slid back at Louisville.
I think bret still hasn't peaked yet.

Lots of haters stepping in here. Personally I dont see many Arkansas fans walking around talking about Bert being better than Bobby, but if they are its probably residual butthurt from his exit...which I think is understandable.
I love Bert and I loved Bobby. It really really sucked that he lied to the AD and basically forced Long to fire him. I was pissed at him forever for that and still kinda am.
That being said I'm happy we have Bert now and I think he is doing things the right way here. People act like its easy to be a 10 win team every year in the SEC west and thats just completely wrong.
One thing we can all agree on is that Bret had no idea how bad it was here when he accepted the job. I doubt he would have came if he really knew the true extent of the ruins that was our football program.

For starters, there isn't a motorcycle that can support Bert

Did you not notice the dumpster fire that was left after Petrino?
No way was he going to keep us a Top 10 team or get anywhere close to beating Bama. Petrino had a soft pussy-arse finesse team.
Bama is the benchmark, like it or not, and Bert's had them beat until the gritty end the last 2 years.
Arrests have basically come to an end, the team GPA is up, the APR is up, attrition is now players leaving early rather than flunking out or transferring due to arrests or character issues. Bert's kicked kids off the team for stuff Freeze, Gus, or Saban wouldn't even address or make players run laps for.
Accountability is high, depth is building with good kids, the walk-on program is a high value thing now and they're having to be selective w/ walk-ons now.
The assistant coaches Bert brings in leave in for HC jobs or the NFL.
There's a great vibe around the program where BP was a miserable frick who was narcisstic and mean to anyone and everyone.

why even worry about Petrino, you dont hear Bama crying over Mike Price... Petrino, Price, Price Petrino.. ainta dimes wuffa diffrunce...

As a coach, I liked Petrino better. As the face of a program - Bert: hands down

Why is this so hard for people to freakin understand? Petrino's first class was loaded with future NFL players from instate, most of whom had committed to Houston Nutt, and Mallett fell in his lap. His recruiting after that was terrible. One class had more attrition than any class I've ever seen.
For those of you who thinks Bret has failed thus far, this program is getting strong and has as much depth as I can remember ever being on the hill. Also, last year's team was a 9 or 10 win season without the unbefreakinlievable number of injuries.

As I noted in another thread, when you start 0-13 the only way you can trend is LINK

I loved BP but he deserved to be fired...lying to the AD and fans is low...plus the other stuff. Anyway, We have BB now and I truly believe that what Coach BB is building is much more sustainable. I had my doubts the first 2 years but I also had hope because of his previous success. He arrived playing with a depleted roster and athletes not suited for his style of play against SEC athletes....He admitted that SEC athletes were on another level than what he was used to in the Big10....He had to adjust some things on the fly. He has kept his nose to the grindstone and is striving to build our program his way...A program model in my mind more solid and sustainable than BP's
