So.. A coach who can't recruit..and has a pro offense is going to get things going at Arkansas?

Sorry, but you need a spread offense to be able to compete if you're not LSU/bama/UGA/UF/Auburn

Add to the fact that his only success has been during the big10s worst run in half a century?

Nope, and they won't with their new coach

Arkansas' success was predicated with having the spread as their offense

I pulled up a picture of Arkansas' logo on Google. I pointed and laughed at it for a good 10 seconds. What a terrible hire.

How so? You have to be able to recruit elite RBs and an elite pass blocking AND run blocking o line to run the pro style effectively..

Why do you think so few teams run it?

Not a bad hire. Second best coach in the state of Arkansas IMO.

so when we had that with Petrino we needed a defense and running game. Now with Bielema we need a spread offense.

Never change LSU fans

the faction of our fanbase that is more concerned about looking e cool than winning is butt hurt.

the faction that wants to win games is excited.

Good hire.

Said for years that Wisconsin was one of the few teams that could compete in the SEC.
