With the right coaching staff that provides a good balance between offense and defense, along with a good recruiting strategy, I don't see why this would be a prob for Arky.
With the Del Rio name, he can get better defensive players. He can take care of that side of the ball. Hiring a strong offensive coordinator that knows how to attack different styles of defenses, I think would put Arky in good shape for the future. This is just my opinion though, an outsider. You guys of course have a much better pulse on your program than I do.

The problem in hiring a defense first guy at HC and leaving the Offensive identity to a top notch OC is that the top notch OC will be leaving in a couple years to run his own program.
We don't want a revolving door of OC's and implementing new offenses every couple of seasons. I want a HC that will be here for a loooong time, the type of guy that will bring in Jr. High and HS coaches for free seminars and teach his philosophies, his basic systems, basic terminology and have those implemented into the peewee and Jr. high football levels across the state and neighboring recruiting bases.
In Arkansas Jerrel Williams made Springdale a football powerhouse without having elite athletes. I think much of it is because his offense and defense was literally the first thing Springdale kids learned in peewee football, then in Jr. High, and when they got to HS there wasn't a whole lot of basics to teach. There was a lot of pride there in that community with their football, it spawned First Baptist's obsession with it which became Shiloh Christian, and they emphasized football and brought in Gus a few years after the school started football and BOOM! Here we are.
Jerrel Williams did in his city what JFB tried to do across the state. I remember running the triple option exclusively in Jr. High in the early 90's. Arkansas football loves Gus because he was a renaissance man along with Ronnie Peacock at Greenwood and somewhat with Barry Lunney at Southside. They were the firsts to have success with a wide open passing game that forced other coaches to change.
I want a guy that can convince coaches that teaching their 8 year olds the Razorback way that it will give them an advantage when they are 18. I want free peewee camps so coaches can bring the kids to Fayetteville and let them run on the turf, see the facilities, dream the big dream, play in the HPER, run around campus, put on a Cardinal & White jersey, play in the big game, and cement a love for the Hogs and a desire to be a part of it when they become a 5.7 3star recruit, or even a 4star, or a 5 star, or a trumpet player, or a chemistry major, or a whatever they want to be, but that love for the state, the university, the Hogs, that's the common bond.
OK there's my Updyke moment of the day. It's hot outside.
