Hopefully much longer.

Sincerely,
The rest of the SEC

NO

Bringing back a player or former coach to lead a program is fool’s gold. Even Arkansas is making that mistake today, bringing back Bobby Petrino as OC. Wonder if there will be a no Harley clause in the contract?

For every success, goodness knows the number of failures.

Did Arkansas hire a new co-ed to work underneath Petrino?

Did Arkansas hire a new co-ed to work underneath Petrino?

Signing bonus was a much safer motor trike.

Did Arkansas hire a new co-ed to work underneath Petrino?

Yes. Her name is Tyla.

Yes. Her name is Tyla.

Every coach we'll ever have at this program will be compared to Billy Napier because Billy Napier set the standard for success. Until someone surpasses that standard, his name will continue to come up. So you people that want to forget all about Napier need to get used to it.

[Jacob81]

Can I point out Billy is 18-25 without LL at qb. 34-5 with him.

Dez is currently 13-13 as a head coach. 1-0 with LL

Alabama went through that phase for a while after Paul Bear Bryant

Agree, CBN is the high bar. Any talk of him coming back is ludicrous.
