I think BB will be a good fit.. It's also funny that nobody thinks we will be able to run the football. It has happened before.


Yeah, I remember a few Arky teams with some pretty decent running backs.

I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be a good hire. I think a lot of people are scratching their heads simply because he wasn't on anyone's radar. Some also say (with some justification) that it will be tough to beat Bama and LSU at their own game, given the recruiting advantages both enjoy. The idea is that you would need a different approach, like a Texas A&M. Don't know if I agree with it, but that's the argument.

Apparently the Arky "strategy"was to hire the first coach that said yes...eventually somebody had to be that person.

The fact that his name is Bret and he can't win bowls, big games or beat bell cow programs is not even important at this point.

They are just hoping to get bowl eligible.

without jff, a&m's "approach" ain't shite. a&m win's 7 or 8 games w/o him. the guy is not only special but won the heisman because he indeed was the player that meant the most to his team. there is no "system" or "approach" that runs itself; player excecution is the factor influencing success or failure.
