re: What if Petrino had stayed at Arkansas?

Well he had a recruit on campus that Sam Pittman had brought over. They were waiting on Bert to come and visit this player. Instead Bert took a flight to Vegas and Sam was left to explain to this player what happened. This player was a four year starter at an SEC school instead. It was bad enough that Sam couldn't work with Bert who was irresponsible and made Sam look like a fool. So Sam left after 2015.
