Will be tough to replace the 2Td's he scored this year. Just glad Ark doesn't have to replace the OC that was responsible for our greatest football season in school history.
Now, that would be tough.

I'm pretty sure it won't be hard to find a quality candidate to coach the sec's top offense with almost everyone returning. Including the heisman trophy winner who has three yrs left.
Oh, and make no mistake about it, the offense that broke all of those records this season is Kevin Sumlin's offense. Kingsbury did well this year, but it is not his offense or leach's or anyone else's but Kevin Sumlin's.

I don't know about greatest season in school history, but it was certainly better than any season Arkansas has ever had in the SEC. Sumlin had three different OC's at Houston, yet his offense was consistently in the top 5 in the country. Sumlin gives his guys a lot of latitude, but he is still the man behind the curtain. |

I understand there will be a learning curve with you SEC newbies, so allow me to educate you. Arkansas has played in 3 SEC championship games. You finished in 3rd place. As a matter of fact, just last year Arkansas duplicated your 3rd place finish (11-2 record) and also finished the year ranked #5 in the nation. Oh yeah, Arkansas also went undefeated in non-conference play including a win over some Big 12 team. pow. |

Ever seen a bell curve?
Ags 10-2 season is on the far left side of that curve, just starting to rise.
Arkansas peaked with an 11-2 campaign. Get those spirit fingers on the air, because the roller coaster ride down that Arkansas is on is going to be steep.

And yes, I've heard of a bell curve as well as an anomaly and a fluke.

Considering how incredible those seasons were I'm sure there is a statue of him outside the stadium. Nice win over that big 12 team last year. Surely Arkansas took them to the woodshead this year right? Duplicated? So Arkansas beat Bama on their field and had a player win the Heisman? Strange, I don't remember any of that. |

Head coaches were Danny Ford and Houston Nutt. Why would we build a statue for just an SEC West title? That would just be silly.
Last year was an anomaly. I prefer to look at the results over a significant time period. Say the last 4 years.
No sir, Arkansas didn't beat Alabama or win any Heisman. Arkansas' losses were on the road, to the two teams that played for the National Championship.
Like I said, A&M had their greatest season of all time. Enjoy it. I do think the records were similiar and it remains to be seen where you finish in the polls.

The seasons are definitely similar, but Arkansas had to make a risky hire to get there and it completely blew up in their face. A&M is recruiting better than Arkansas ever has right now and I seriously doubt Sumlin will crash his motorcycle with a intern on the back. Haha, just typing that reminded me what an absolute moron Petrino is.
Good hire in Bielema though. I'm sure a guy that has zero ties to Texas will be able to come in and out recruit Sumlin, Brown, Stoops, and Miles. Unless he just plans on winning with Arkansas players...

Bielema recruiting the great state of Texas is a concern, however Arkansas has re$ource$ to hire people that can.

Who is hiring the staff? All of Bielema's coaching ties are in the mid-west. You can't just money wip every problem.
