Terry Bradshaw just warned all potential Arkansas recruits

I just wonder where Petrino would go after Arky. What school would hire a guy who left three premium jobs in three/four years? I think that he will be there for a while because no matter how well he does, he wont have many options.

Yeah... the same was said about Saban last year. We'll see.

And it happened. He isnt happy, and I wouldnt be surprised if he was seen to be flying into Morgantown this weekend.

Petrino will leave for a big name program in 3-4 years and will stay their for awhile.

if miles leaves after the NC game.

Where is he going to go now? The only chance of him leaving just hired RR and Miles turned them down.

Arkansas isn't far from being a big name program.

The thing about Saban and Petrino is that their credibility is shot. They can't afford to leave where they are at this point. The only place Saban could ever leave for is LSU, which still might happen in my opinion, if miles leaves after the NC game.

Scoop:

You're not worried about the possibility of Saban to Morgantown?

Well, there is no doubt that we took our lumps when we jumped into the SEC right after a huge coaching fiasco. We gave up our Texas recruiting grounds and stumbled through until we got Nutt, who many of you think is the best we can hope for, yet would never be a coach you guys would accept ironically enough.

You guys like to point out to the bama fans that their old NCs don't stand for anything, that the past is over.

So, if the past is just that...the past, we must look forward to the future. There is absolutely nothing intrinsically superior about Tenn, Bama, Aubby over Arkansas. LsU, Ga, and Fl all have better natural recruiting advantages over the rest of us, but good coaching is the only thing that might be able to overcome such an advantage. Good coaching that we just might have now at ARkansas.

I understand that you old-guard SEC programs don't know our history, have no respect for our SWC past, and don't feel we have earned the right to sit at the adults table in the SEC. We have done little to dispel such perceptions. One thing thing though-- I can only pray that the rest of the SEC is as complacent and cock-sure as some of you are about the Razorbacks and our potential.

Look at your own record in the 90s and then the 2000s and see what a difference good coaching makes.

We've finally got a good coach in Fayetteville

Arkansas fans totally amaze me. You seem to think the win this year symbolized a turn in fortunes or something. Arkansas is not and WILL NOT ever be on the same level as LSU.

---

WHy is that? My god, take a look at your own record in the 90s and tell me that you guys can't go down a notch or two. why is it a given to you that we can't go up a notch also?

quote:

anymore . Petrino is not the savior that so many of your fans are crowing about and your recruiting could get worse being that Petrino has to defend his character against some of the best recruiters in the country

---

DO you not think that other programs have used Nutt's idiocy against us up to now?? All of the Saban BS hasn't hurt bama, why should it hurt us?

quote:

---

most sports experts outside the State of Arkansas thought getting rid of Nutt was a bad move and Arkansas had pretty much reached it's realistic potential.

---

I love it when other programs define for us our 'potential' as if it is etched in stone for all time. I would guess that you would say that both LSU and Arkansas are 'living up to their potential' these days, but it would never occur to you that maybe we HAVEN'T been living up to our potential since we joined the SEC. As I have written before, we will see.

quote:

---

I would have been somewhat worried had Tubby gone there but Petrino's dog and pony show

---

why would you have worried if Tubby had taken the job since, by you reasoning, we are already living up to our potential. By writing this, you implicitly acknowledge that good coaching matters a great deal in this game. I agree with you. I have merely stated that we aren't far behind LSU as it stands now, and I believe that we have made a coaching upgrade. I don't think we are now going to be a superpower, but there is no reason to think that we can't have more success than we have had in the SEC

Say what some of you people do about Miles, the idea of loyalty to a program and continuity from year to year is a big selling point for HS recruits and their coaches.

---

Miles is a nomad as well. He bolted on Oklahoma State right after signing a contract extension. I'm not faulting him for it; it's just part of the game. Rich Rodriguez just left his alma mater for Michigan; I'd be curious to see how much heat he takes for being a "money grubbing coward who will jump at the next big opportunity."

Isn't exactly close either....
