re: This may be the best wake up call to a Bert lead team

Were the Falcons going to retain BP beyond that season? Probably yes. Was BP unhappy with the situation that occurred after he took the job? Absolutely. Long still gave him the opportunity knowing how controversial it would be and still made BP leave before the year was over for the good of our program. Did Long convince a P5 conference champion to come to Arkansas and rebuild after BP's god awful recruiting and the JLS debacle? Yes. It's not often that successful P5 coaches leave for other p5 schools. At the time, everyone knew we would hire an OC or a G5 head coach but Long hit what was thought to be a home run. One third of the way through year four its been ok with some obvious faults.
