I know things didn't work out in the long run for Del Rio in Jacksonville, but I think he is a pretty good coach. Definitely worth Arky pursuing. I understand the offensive side of the ball concern, but he brings a shitload of expertise and intensity to the defensive side. Something that shouldn't be overlooked, especially in the SEC.

Oh I agree that defense is key in the SEC but for a school like Arkansas, in our recruiting area, we are always going to have trouble getting SEC caliber defensive players. Our best years in the SEC have always been fueled by explosive offensives. We just aren't capable of playing LSU/Bama ball which is to grind out the clock and protect the lead with a strong defense. It's just not going to happen unless we get an elite recruiter which is easier said than done.
Based off that I would just rather have an innovative offensive minded coach that understands the need for defense.
While Petrino is and probably always be my favorite head coach at Arkansas, his neglect for defense both in recruiting and practice still blows my mind at times.
