this. they have the same shitty offensive line from last year, they lost their top 2 wr's, and a new dc coming in trying to fix a shitty defense. 9-3 maybe 10-2, having said that, he is a very good coach and in the future he very well could have had them in the NC hunt.

Which is true of probably 75 or more teams in the country. What keeps 90% of them from being true contenders is that it's highly unlikely that they will "take care of business". You would have to beat Alabama and LSU, not to mention everybody else on your schedule. That's not realistic, and wouldn't have been even if Petrino was a celibate monk and had never seen a motorcycle in his life.

Yes, everybody is...technically.

I wouldn't go that far. Yeah, LSU feasted on Mike Shula teams, but even with that I'll take the 4-7 record since 2002.

Petrino is a great talent evaluator. He seems to know what measurables and skills to look for to find kids who aren't as highly recruited.


Right in his system he found players who were tailored to his scheme and was highly successful on the offensive side of ball. I would wait till you see who you get next before you just assume its going to be a seamless transition.

With a God awful defense,it would be dangerous to assume Arkansas would win the title game if lighting struck and the won the SEC

No he wasn't.

What Petrino was is a great offensive mind that could create outstanding offensive game plans and call timely plays that exploited defensive weaknesses. He recruited one great QB (Wilson) who he developed very well. His other QB (Mallett) fell in his lap when Rich Rod was hired at Michigan. He got most of the AR good skill players and signed 1 really good RB from out of state in Davis.

Other than that, his defenses pretty much sucked and his recruiting of O and D linemen, LB's, and DB's was at best average.

He's gone and left your program in an embarrassing mess. I have no idea why some of you AR fans still worship that sleaze ball that never won anything of consequence.

The knock on Petrino going back to Louisville was his inability and/or refusal to convert kids to defense, the joke used to be the best cornerbacks on his squad were lingering on the bench as third team wideouts

Well, technically, all 120 FBS teams are "contenders", but usually when we say contender, we are talking about a team that has a realistic chance. That would not be Arkansas in 2012 no matter who your coach is.


Yes, it is clear that only LSU and Bama are allowed to play for the national title. It's all so clear now.

I want the ones who say there are only 4 true contenders to tell me their teams. Bet $100 and I'll take the field. I can bet 99 out of 100 times that 2 of the 4 or 5 teams they pick will not be in the title game.
