Ok but Petersen helped turned Boise St. into a national brand. Its in freaking Idaho....Idaho.

So he gets no credit for recruiting or developing RG3?


Absolutely, But I think Petersen has developed just as many very good athletes maybe more.

So was Bobby but y'all loved him


True, We loved Bobby because he showed us that Arkansas has the potential in getting us back into the top 10, and to our 1st BCS bowl.

But it also showed us that you can't forget about defense and that we have to be respectable in that aspect.

Peterson, Patterson, or Briles. I would be happy with any of the 3 as our next HC.

Also Petersen really fit what our AD was looking for in a head coach.

High Integrity, high morals, family man, and less confrontational than BP.

Not true at all. I have been pimping Briles for the Arky job for months. Dude is legit.


Of course you would. Why else would an LSU Fan want Arkansas to hire a "legit" coach? No doubt you have Arkansas' best interest at heart especially since the Hogs almost beat the Tigers with John L. Smith. Let that soak in for a minute. Arkansas gave the vaunted Tigers and Miles all they could handle with a lame-duck coach like John L. Smith and a lame-duck coaching staff.

People asked the same questions about Urban Myer when he went to Florida. Worked out ok for them. I'll take CP over AB any day of the week.

I mean ok if that's your priority then Petersen is your guy.

In terms of the best fit for that job and the most likely to win the most games, Briles is the easy choice.

It really doesn't matter what you "feel like". Reality is the only true measurement.

This. Briles wouldn't even be in my top 10. My order would be.

1. Petersen
2. Patterson
3. Strong
4. Franklin
5. Gundy
6. Smart
7. Rhoads
8. McGee
9. unnamed coordinator
10 unnamed coordinator
11 maybe Briles

Petersons perfect for Arky...he has a lot of practice only having to,get his team up,for one game a year. As long as Arky is competitive with LSU , the fan base will be happy.

you forgot A&M as well. Also all Mississippi schools -- Petersen is like Bobby Petrino except with morals and a defense.

I'm not looking to bash arkansas regardless of who they hire. If something happens and y'all end up getting Briles I will be the first to congratulate you on an outstanding hire.

Don’t flatter yourself. Bama is our benchmark, not LSU. Arkansas has fared well against LSU lately but not so with Bama. Beating the Tigers again means nothing without taking the Tide down as well.

Briles would be a good hire for us, your reasoning is sound.

I also think Dykes would b interesting and fun too.

And that's indicative of what? A few Hog Fans flaming douche bags like you does not equate to Hog Fans being happy with only beating the Tigers.
