I’m taking either Franklin or Kelly as soon as possible.

How are they better than Bobby?

They are both unlikeable douchebags but I’d take Franklin.

No SEC team is hiring Cajun Brian except maybe Mizzou.

If I’m Arky I don’t even worry about the fray and be happy I’m all set with Petrino

I thought this would be the inevitable outcome but he hasn’t won a game as interim……Sure he’s been competitive but the audition hasn’t gone well

I think both would have Arky at 7-8 wins consistently pretty quickly. I don't think Bobby could do the same.
Both appear to be affordable for Arky as well.

I'm begging us to hire Franklin. However it sounds like NWA money all has different horses in the race and it'll be a "who's money is greener" contest at the end of it.

If Petrino will head coach for a fairly low some compared to most I go that route. Save money for players. A lot of their problems is due to lack of talent.

I'm keeping Petrino and hoping he can find a DC and will split the NIL $ with the defense.

All Arkansas has to do is keep Bobby. It's already better than most of these names I'm seeing be mentioned for HC. The guy still has one hell of an offense. They have improved on the offensive side of the ball drastically since he has taken over as OC. They can get him for cheap and put all their funds into getting a competent DC. That's all that is missing from their current team.

Problem with BP is that he has a long history of not working well with DC's.
If he could package a top DC then yes, I'm back on board. Maybe.
Grantham is a possibility if they ended on good terms.
I assume Baker is about to be available...
Durkin will be a hot commodity if not for a HC job
so there are options.... he's just going to have to be able to sell that he can get along with a DC.

Arky could do a LOT worse than Franklin.
