re: Would Gus Consider Arkansas?

“Fail” in what sense?

Winning a national title? Probably.

Consistently doing so, absolutely.


But Arkansas doesn’t expect that.

Get a coach that can get them to an SECCG every four years? Challenge for NY6 Bowls fairly regularly? Get to a bowl game every year? They’d build him a statue.


Arkansas is close enough to Texas, LA, Miss, Alabama to get the talent to run a specific system like Gus does.

He is a good offensive mind just isn’t going to consistently beat Saban in The Iron Bowl.


Arkansas would finally have their guy.

Arkansas is one of those Resume killer jobs. As whoever takes that job will inevitably fail in the long run and end up destroying their resume.

How is that exactly?

A washed up Danny Ford won the SEC West at Arkansas.

Houston Nutt won or shared the SEC West Title 3 times.

Bobby Petrino Had arguably one of the best teams in the nation in 2010 and 2011. Bama, LSU, and Arkansas were 1-3 in the BCS standings in 2011 going into the last week of the regular season.

LSU went through a shite show in the 1990’s. Arkansas just happens to be going through a shite show of a span now. It happens. Arkansas has too much money, too good of facilities, for the shitshow to continue on.

Petrino got another P5 job. Nutt got another P5 job.

Bielema is with the mutherfricking Patriots.

Yeah, we're a real career killer.

Reminder: Morris was .500 against G5 teams. That has nothing to do with talent. If his career is dead, he pulled the trigger.
