re: Arkansas and the law of averages

National brands in any conference go through up and down cycles. They can all compete at al high level for a while but at one point a coaching change is made because the fans get bored. Then if the wrong coach is hired, the program goes into a decline and the rest of the schools don't make changes or do upgrades.

It is was what happened to us in the late 80s, early 90s when razorback fans got bored of Hatfield and started complaining. Then he left and Jack Crowe took his place. So we went from a college hall of fame coach in Broyles to Jack Crowe who would be fired after losing to the Citadel.

Then we kept making the wrong hires inluding the Nutt and didn't attempt to get better until Petrino was hired. That didn't last long and we went back to the I don't care hires until Sam was hired.
