the coach hired a girl he was banging. it was a can of legal worms that no one in their right mind would open. You got screwed because Petrino is a scumbag. Don't blame your AD for that. And, if Franklin is the best hire he can make, be happy that you didn't end up with a coach with a 5-19 head coaching record and 10 straight losses at his previous gig (Gene Chizik). You could do much worse than Franklin.

with all tht said, i'm just telling you what is. you cant' fire a petrino who won 11 games to hire a coach from vandy. you can't do it and expect fans to like it. you woudlnt' like it and yout hink that because we are arkansas we shoudl shut up and like it and it's not gonna work.

when long fired petrino it was full well knowing that he would have to bring in a coach that the fan base could get behind. i like franklin, i think he will be a great coach. but he isn't the right hire.

NEWSFLASH:
Half of our fans are fricking morons. People who would have given Nutt a lifetime contract just because he was from f'ing LR and was a fine, Christian man. Hell - you can't even get some of our fans to be happy with the hypothetical situation in which we'd somehow end up with Gary Patterson, who is unquestionably one of the best coaches in college football.

Long will make the best hire he can. If he hires Franklin or someone similar, it will be because higher caliber coaches turned us down.

If he can't replace Petrino with a top 10 coach, that's not his fault. That's Petrino's fault for being a dumbass.
