Not saying it's a done deal, but have heard multiple things today that make me believe Gary Patterson will be the next coach at Arkansas.

Backwards? SEC vs BIG 12? Ark vs TCU?. I don't think so!

SEC and the big 12 arent that far off each other, its the big 12, not conference USA, its still a major school in texas in a major conference, so the recruiting is better, and he lives in fort worth, not in backward *** arkansas. I really dont see any advantages to making that move outside of more money

If true, that would be some move for Arkansas. Surprised he hasn't jumped before this as he's had several offers, one at his alma mater K-State.

I'm betting Jerry made the short drive over to Ft Worth and showed him his wallet in person.

And Fayetteville is actually a pretty awesome town, too.

public school vs. small private school

I might have to go with the public school.
