Damn Hogs. Not sure what to really think of this.


Damage control for 10 months, I just pray his clock management has gotten better than in his Mich. St. days.

Congrats on hiring L!

My only question would be...how do we address him here on the SECR? MFL? HCMFL?

Thanks in advance...

Did any of ya"ll see this coming? Seems like a out of left field hire, but I haven't been following it. How are the fans in Arkansas reacting to it?

They thought for sure Gruden was coming. What does that tell you?

I believe local reporter Bo Mattingly reported that this was likely either yesterday or within the last couple days, but most people don't give him credibility and were more attracted to the "big names."

It is sorta out of left field because there was little buzz about him, but it makes a lot of sense so it isn't really "shocking."

I remember all the Arkansas fans calling me dumb for asking if they were going to hire an interim coach.

Lulz.


As for the fan reaction, Hogvillians are slitting their wrists. Others realize that if JL was going to go interim, that this was one of the better options available.

The herd is almost always wrong. Which means this might be a good hire.

Arkansas could have hired Nick Saban and the tards on this site would post a billion " " emoticons and say it was a shitty hire. Just how it works around here.

Umm no. Most of us regulars spent the weekend making fun of HV for actually believing that. Myself and 870 actually went so far as to start a successful twitter/message board campaign for another coach (per sources).

Yup.

Also, I loved how they dismissed the Jon Gruden rumors as being totally impossible, but also took the time to talk about how he wouldn't be that great of a hire because they couldn't even bring themselves to give that little bit of credit to Arkansas. No matter the decision, the immediate reaction was going to be the same. The Rant loves to hate on Arky.
