People say BP doesnt care about defense but he hired ellis johnson before robinson, who has the #4 ranked defense in the NCAA

Joe Whitt Jr. looks like he would be a solid hire. We need someone who can fill some recruiting void left by garrick

Gillhamer has the MT connection. Whitt coached with Petrino before. How is Sunseri connected? I don't see Bobby hiring someone he doesn't have prior ties to, IMO

Real LEGIT names to look for are Joe Whitt Jr, Mike Stoops, Sal Sunseri, Everett Withers, Vic Koenning.

IIRC, Sunseri and Petrino were at Louisville for a season together in the late 90's, that might be wrong though.

Anywho, Petrino is looking to go big, he realizes what he needs if we wants to win the West.

Can't wait to see our team learn how to tackle and look for the ball in the air.

Petrino puts little detail into defense and thus Ark will always be what they are, shitty


They could do a lot better on defense with a better DC, but part of their issue with Bama/LSU is talent disparity. They need depth on their defense. They just ran out of gas and got run over against LSU.

It's not just part of it, it's a big piece. However, I think it starts with having the right DC in there who will teach the fundamentals.

Absolutely have to get some elite defensive talent in or a new DC will only be a temporary fix.

I'm hoping for a big time recruiting hire at the two current open positions.

Same.

Hell last year we had no coaching changes, we get a 10-2 record this year and go to cotton bowl and boom 3 coaches in 3 days gone.

Personally, I'd love for it to be Sal Sunseri, I know a certain DB coach he might bring with him also.

He was on DTS yesterday and had great things to say about Arkansas, and Coach Petrino. Sounds like he might come if offered.

Everett Withers


Just from scanning the names, this one peaks my interest a bit. Was he heavily involved in the recruiting and what ties does he have with Bobby? If he was as involved as much as I think he was at UNC, I would think this potentially could be a sleeper home run hire.
