As an Arkansan I think it's a good hire.
coattails? 3 conference titles and average win/season of 9.5? sour grapes? no coach has ever been to 3 straight bcs bowls not even saban.Quote:

holtz? hatfield? petrino? i think the latter proved you could win at arkansas in modern era. what was texas a&m's record against arkansas in southwest classic before they joined SEC? look at cam newton and auburn thats a&ms future. johnny football is a stud no doubt but after next year hes gone (pro) then what?.
Try to slam Texas, A&M or whoever you want. But they each have some skins on the wall in the past 20 years. Just sayin'.
EGO...he doesnt want to admit that it was Jimmy Johnson that had the eye for the talent and put together the Cowboys teams of Aikman, Smith, Irvin...He also has hitched his wagon to Romo, who was an undrafted free agent that happened to be in the right spot when Bledsoe got hurt, he was on the taxi squad and a project....like some sportwriter said" just because you are the QB for the Cowboys, doesnt mean you are great"Quote:

the sec has won 9 of 15 (im assuming alabama is going to clobber notre dame like most will agree) bcs championships. so by saying we havent won sec just means we havent won a national championship (in bcs era). tons of other schools havent either. we have been to sec championship 3 times. 3x more any team you mentioned (ms state had 1) right up there with auburn. we are not a national championship contender year in year out (yet) but we are competitive and cyclical on winning west. the best team in any conference would be mediocre at best in sec. you may say well look at a&m well without mack brown foolishly thinking manziel should be a safety and causing him to commit to a&m theyd be right alongside missouri
comparing big 12 championships to sec championships is foolish.
if i were to rank sec schools on average elite-ness itd be
teir 1
bama
florida
lsu
georgia
teir 2
arkansas
tennessee
auburn
south carolina
a&m
teir 3
ole miss
mississippi state
missouri
teir 3b
vandy
kentucky
Bielema was whinning when Urban Meyer went after one of his verbal commitments. What's he going to do when Saban and the rest of the SEC coaches do that and more? I'd say he has jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

The fact is that Texas A&M was a mediocre team in the Big 12 for the past 5+ years. So bad they fired their coach. So a mediocre Big 12 team came in, should have beat both Florida and LSU, and beat the big boy Alabama.
SEC has great football, no one will argue that.
All I'm saying is Arkansas has been and will continue to be a tough place for a coach to win.
You can attack Texas all you want, but Mack Brown won a National Championship and played for another in the past 10 years.
Repeat. Arkansas has not won a conference championship in 23 years.
