Arkansas seems to be the laughing stock of the Sec football this year.

I do hope Mr. Smith is renting up there in Fayetteville, and a short-term lease at that ;-)

Looks like the Razorbacks are going to be at the bottom of the SEC for a long time. Jeff Long acted hastily when he fired Bobby Petrino and now he's living with the consequences. None of that forgiveness or kindness for him. Perhaps he's never made a mistake in his life.

Agree with strick9. This proves that you cannot go our and just hire any Johnson, Smith and Herring to coach. As for JLS, We will never forget your adage "Smile, Smile and the whole collge football world will laugh at you"
Hear that "whooshing" sound in the background, that is the Arkansas football team and program headed to rock bottom
On a brighter note the Arkansas softball team beat Marion Military Institute today 12-0. Hopefully the AD will schedule them in football next year, How about a home game in Laredo, Texas.

It's just a game. I'm still proud of Jeff Long for doing the right thing. We constantly have players in trouble with the law for everything imaginable, including sexual misconduct. A coach can't lead and discipline these young people if he has thrown away his moral authority by the way he lives. He violated the terms of his contract and got fired.

The problem was not FIRING Petrino, it was HIRING Petrino.

Since Petrino cared nothing about defense I'm not certain we would be doing much better with him coaching. We also miss Joe Adams and company a lot more than we might have anticipated. This whole episode will take a minimum of three years to get past. We are obviously short on talent and the interim coaching staff can't be expected to restock. Just remember, Petrino would never have beaten Alabama due to his lack of respect for defense. Sooo, lets find a real coach and get the rebuilding process started.

Or the guys can take on Bentonville or Springdale....seems to be the caliber of play most suited to their efforts. As for bowl games, lookout, Toilet Bowl here we come.

Hey Jake - At this point the Toilet Bowl looks pretty good........ This season is over. Call in the dogs, p on the fire, it's time to come to grips with reality. The talent on defense is on par with UCA. Except for Tyler Wilson and Cobi Hamilton there is nobody who is a legitimate SEC player on offense. Hog fans drank the Kool-Aid poured by Arkansas' sycophantic sports media. The only thing to salvage now is recruiting. What can be done to help recruiting? Maintaining the status quo is not the answer. Drastic times call for drastic measures. If Jeff Long won't pull the trigger on John L. Smith, then fire Jeff Long. Ken Hatfield lives in Rogers. Hatfield knows how to deal with the media and make a "living room" pitch to recruits. This season is over. Let's do what is best for the future.

What an embarrassing performance. You have to go back 60 years to the Otis Douglas years to the last time Arkansas' football program was such a mess. It's one thing to get stomped by #1 Alabama but to get stomped worse by Texas A&M - pitiful. Coaches and players both to blame. *** And when are you knotheads going to get over Petrino? HE LIED TO HIS BOSS!! HE HIRED HIS MISTRESS!! Long had no choice but to fire him. Have you no concept of ethics at all?

Jackabbott says... September 29, 2012 at 9:56 p.m.
Agree with Packman. But the current coaches have already committed 2/3 of the positions open in recruiting. Whoever the poor chap is going to be, he will be a year behind. Looks like 2015 at mimium to get back to 500 record or so. This is unacceptable. This situation got over the head of the AD, he did the same thing with Herring after Nutt left and got similar results, Remember the Cotton Bowl game that year. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over good expecting different results. It is now time for some thorough house cleaning probably beginning with the AD,

"Hog fans drank the Kool-Aid poured by Arkansas' sycophantic sports media."
.
You do realize they returned 14 starters from last years' 11-2 team? And the NATIONAL media ranked them top 10? No, it appears you don't.
.
"This whole episode will take a minimum of three years to get past. "
.
I see Ohio State is 5-0 these days after having an interim coach last year who went sub-.500. Geez. It makes we wonder if you folks pay any attention to college football at all. What's even funnier? These are Petrino's recruits. So all this talk about lack of talent lies where? Oh yeah, with that guy you now think it was a huge mistake to fire. Huh?

I've been away from school a long time. Do they still have stupid Aggie jokes? If so, they need to stop telling them.

I wish they would have a bonfire on Razorback Road and burn those horrible uniforms! Has anyone ever heard of tradition? I wish the Hogs would wear their 1969 uniforms. They were classy. These, including those goofy helmets look like a "nightmare from a losing arena league football team."

Why is this "Breaking News" cluttering my Inbox? It would have been news if UA had beaten A & M. It will be news if UA becomes bowl eligible; they only have to win 5 of the next 7. Kentucky and Tulsa, and maybe Ole Miss, are do-able.

I think a Home & Home football Classic with Arkansas School of the Blind would be competitive and keep travel time to a minimum.

What are the school colors now? For about 100 years they were cardinal red and white. Now that the hiring dynamo AD has fiddled with them--are they red and white and grey and black and blue or what? Guess if I was in his socks I would try to disguise them too.

Small's after practice injury doomed the running game. If a team can not run, the defense can load the box and tee off on the QB. If a team can not run or pass, the defense stays on the field too long and gets tired, gives up points and gets injured. We might be 2-3 instead of 1-4 with Bobby but not better. We must have a better defense to compete of the wild dreams of the fan base. This bed was on fire when John L came back. He has not put it out and by practicing "not tackling" Knile Davis, made it blaze hotter. The defense has perfected "not tackling" and Knile has perfected not hanging on to the ball when the opposition does not follow John's guidelines.

Ken Hatfield lives in Cave Springs and he don't want any part of coaching. He is a strong supporter of the hogs but is very happy retired.
