I was listening to ESPN Baton Rouge today and they brought up a good point about Arkansas’ program in the past decade...
They went from Bobby Petrino to Bret Bielema to Chad Morris. Very hard for them to find success with three coaches with different philosophies on football. Bielema recruited to suit the more antiquated style of smash-mouth football that dominated the SEC for the greater part of the 21st century. Chad Morris came from SMU with a hybrid spread philosophy. Tough to win when you don’t have the time to recruit the players that you want to fit your scheme.

I am of the opinion that we could hire just about anyone to consistently go 8-4. The worries about look at arkie or UTk IMO are null and void. The recruiting landscape has changed considerably over the last 20 years and that doesn't get near the discussion as to why those programs struggle now.
Auburn will always be located near ATL and with good connections in Florida. If we can take 3 or 4 of the top Alabama kids every year we will always be good enough to go 8-4. I refuse to believe that what we've seen on offense the last few years over multiple players can be blamed on anyone other than Gus.
