Dana is still a risk that Arky doesn't need. He's a drunk (allegedly) and if he kills someone while drunk driving then they are back to square one.

What is wrong Briles? Is winning at Baylor not enough?
Absolutlafrickingnothing.. which is why I really don't want y'all to get him. Few coaches have produced more with less than Art. He is also a big A hole... Like sirsly an arse. Let me put it this way. There isn't a coach in the big 12 I'd say that about except him.
Even mac brown seems like a nice guy.. not briles. Dude is a jackass.

if i'm arkansas, I'd got the defensive route with the next hire... Briles would bring more of the same -- awesome passing offense but pisspoor defense and a mediocre running game.

Briles is the real deal in finding and getting damned good QB play. He's an a hole to be sure, but he'll, Petrino was known for effing over past employers so no worries there.
Briles has zero acumen in running serviceable defense. He will need a strong D coordinator.

So who are the targets for Arky HC at this point and where would you put Briles in the mix?
Shouldn't you be more worried about your next coach than what the Hogs do? I mean you fire them left and right. The fat one you have now will last two more seasons max.

There would have to be SEVERAL people say 'no thanks' to millions of dollars before Briles got the chance to.

Total jackass.
Good hire? Not sure.
But the guy is a dick.

Arky should rehire Petrino. He could give a press conference saying how sorry he was and how he messed up his life. Arky could say that everyone deserves a second chance and get back the only coach that made them competitve.
Seriously, that's what they should have done before they fired him; find a preacher to stand with him, talk about how he found Jesus and forgiveness, croc tears, snot slinging, long-suffering wife at his side, etc and so on. As long as he won, who he was banging in the off season would have been a side note soon forgotten.

Arkansas needs improvement on defense for sure, but hiring a defense first coach will not necessarily make Arkansas a better program. Arkansas is an above average program with below average recruiting pipelines in an elite division. To win in that scenario, you need a niche....something you are known all across America for doing better than anyone else. Petrino gave you that niche at the QB and WR position and it made Arkansas a top 10-20 program. If you abandon that philosophy and go after defense you will be very disappointed because the offensive recruits will go elsewhere and Arkansas will never, ever recruit the caliber of player needed to become known for having an elite defense every year. Stick with what made you successful and hire an elite offensive mind.

You 'aint getting Holgerson. WVU to Arky is a lateral move.
Dana Holgerson is making about 2.5 million a year so if we want him we could get him. However, it's not likely we are very interested.

Monticello nailed it. The same goes for Tennessee, Mizzou, and A&M (to a lesser degree 
)

Well....iif I see something on the internet it must be true. 
Go the defensive route and get a run game with field position offense. Need to be tough and not get your panties yanked off everytime you play LSU & Bama.

Briles was at the top of my early list I created as soon as our run in the CWS was over.
Since then and now Baylor has committed to building a new fly stadium. I don't think they'd spend that money w/o committing long term to Briles and getting a long term committment from Briles to Baylor.
My gut instinct is he's Mack Brown's replacement at UT whenever that time comes.
I was correct to put Paul Petrino in the horseshite tier in the spring, after further review James Franklin isn't the coach we want. His staff sucks and they all have small school experience and fugly wives.
I still hold that Northwestern's coach is a legit possibility. I think right now the public opinion is reverting back to who the most likely get is. Jeff Long will likely defer to public opinion to save his own hide.

This guy is legit and he will blow up if Northwestern can take advantage of the down B1G this year. I'm not sure he'd leave NW though, he went to school and played there and coached under Randy Walker there for several years. Walker passed away and Fitzgerald then took over. I'm not sure it would matter how much money y'all throw at him, that's a little bit different situation.

That's the way I feel, especially considering the few elite players that come out of the state are almost always offensive skill position players.

Yep. A great offensive mind can take average players with a specific skill set and turn them into an offensive machine. Fast WR's and strong armed QB's are everywhere. To have an amazing defense though you need freak athletes in the front 7 and there are very few of those guys in high school. The vast majority choose a small number of schools. Arkansas will never be the kind of school that signs those kids but it can follow the same formula that has made Okie St, WVU, Baylor, Houston, etc successful.
