not a chance in hell. bob stoops will win another bcs game and mack brown will win a national championship before gruden coaches in college

Actually,Gruden would coach college before the other 2 events,but I get what you're saying.None of em are going to happen.

So now you're going to force him on us?We've got enough billboards and smartasses already.

No, I want him to spend a touch more time in Starkville. I'm just saying, you could hire a lot worse.

Well no doubt,they could hire me.I'd definitely be worse.

We will be lucky to get a decent coach.Petrino fell in our lap the last time.We're screwed.

lateral move.....arky aint anything special in regards to the sec.....i think dan is primed for the big 10.  sorry hog fans, but you are a part of the bottom half of the sec and most likey always will be.  with our best efforts, we all have a limited ceiling....yours just happens to be a bit higher than ours.  petrino was absolutely yalls best shot at significance and ya blew it by firing a proven winner in a state that isnt exactly known for football (so says the guy from mississippi).  recriting will now get tougher with atm and mizzou and things will level off.......bobbyp=a big dawg that gotta eat and yall snatched his blonde bowl away.  welcome back to the pack.

No bullshit. Arky was never more than a mid pack sec team. I know it's easy to poke fun at State, and ya'll have been way better than us the last several years, but Arky isn't the job some of its fans like to think it is either.

We have tremendous financial support, fan support, and facilities.  Forbes just listed Arkansas as the 8th most valuable program in college football.  We were behind Bama, lsu, and UGA in the SEC.  If you'll consider the size of our state compared to the others in the top 10 I think you would say that's quite impressive.  Winning at Arkansas will be tougher than it will be at most schools in the South b/c of our in state talent but our job is one great coach with recruiting ties in Texas and Louisiana away from being a high profile gig.

I don't think it's one of the perennial jobs in the country and the only reason is b/c of the recruiting base, which we as fans can't really control.  Outside of having 7-10 SEC ready kids in the state/year Arkansas has everything a coach could want and then some.  Although, I do appreciate Shamoan and yourself telling us that our job isn't that good and that a move from MSU to Arkansas would be a lateral move, past history, recent history, and the fact that we are a top 25 program in the history of college football seem to disagree with you.

I meant you absolutely no disrespect. I meant Arkansas no disrespect. But lets look at the pecking order here for a minute.
You don't have the recruiting base or financial support of an Alabama, LSU, Florida, UGA arguably even an Auburn or Texas A&M
You are better than MSU, UT, Ole Miss, UK....the rest of the mid-tier to bottom rung SEC teams.
As far as history goes, when was the last time Arkansas won a NC?
When was the last time Arky won an SEC Champ game, not competed, won?
Bobby P recruited in the thirties and forties, basically ignoring one whole side of the ball. You don't really have the talent to compete with Bama and LSU or UF without a top tier coach at the helm. It's arguable that both Mullen and Nutt (while he was there) pulled in better rated classes than Arkansas did.
ANd you are telling me that with a $185,000,000 and a new Stadium that seats almost 70,000 in a little under a decade that you will still be THAT much more desirable than we are?

I'm sorry, user bias is user bias. Landing Petrino was the perfect storm for ya'll. I fear, not the norm

It seems we have an aspirin argument between Devil guy and John Wayne.

Gentlemen, if this disagreement comes to fisticuffs, I will sue the pants off whichever one of you does not contact my firm first. That is, if you contact me first, you are innocent.

This is the law gentlemen.
