Arkansas - what did Petrino do that no one after him can replicate

I remember the days that I would be nervous when we would play you guys because your offense was so potent. Is it because he ran a dual threat system?

It a secret!

At Arkansas? Won games

He was actually a good coach.

Petrino is a true offensive genius, especially with the passing games, unlike all of these RPO coaches, who coach to throw the ball in the air and recruit tall receivers to fight for them. He micromanages his offense, which works for him. His QB's are precise and receivers catch the ball without breaking stride.

But the bias against him is heavy. Every call that could go either way, almost always goes against Petrino, along with some that are just clearly wrong. He's good at evaluating talent, but he hates recruiting and I think that would have caught up with him at Arkansas.

He managed to keep tFlagship afloat.

He got a job that paid millions and kept a marriage going while boning a grad student, riding around on a Harley, and coaching a top ten football team.

Tough to replicate.

Wrecking that motorcycle saved BP. The D talent was disappearing from Nutt's era and he'd of had a tough season in 2012 if he'd of stayed.

While you may be right, I think 2012 would have been much better under Petrino than JLS.....we won 4 games that year but I think we would have won 7-8 with Petrino.

Now after that, you are probably correct
