I like the rumors of Auburn being interested in Bobby Petrino just for the entertainment value.

What the hell are all these ridiculous rumors with Arkansas, they are still Arkansas, not USC or Texas, these are all pipe dreams! Next week we will hear that they offered nick Saban 8 mil a year to leave Alabama for Arkansas!

IF they are willing to put out that kind of money for a coach, chances are they will get a good one to bite that normally would not for that school.

I'm told this isn't rumor but take that with a grain of salt.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

Auburn can't be that desperate that it would pursue Petrino. Wait, maybe it is.

Arkasas is supposedly after everybody from Les Miles to Art Briles, my guess is they get none. Sonny Dykes is my presumption for them, and he'd be a fine match.

The SEC is going to have to evolve to be more offensively explosive, or spread teams are going to continue to upset them as A&M has proven.

Arkansas is scrambling to stop the free-fall their program is in. They don't want to waste time hoping a mid-major or current assistant will pan out. They need a proven coach right now so they can right the ship and continue competing for 2nd in the SEC West. They haven't been strong in recruiting lately and the current situation is not helping. This is bad news for them with A&M having such a strong first season in the SEC.

Miles was a pipe dream; Briles is not, if for no other reason that the fact that it's highly unlikely that Baylor will ever land another RGIII.

Realistically speaking, it is not possible to compete for a national championship at Baylor. It is possible to do so at Arkansas. If the Hogs come calling Briles would be foolish not to accept.

Ok. We all know this was a decoy thrown by Miles' agent to land a bigger deal at LSU.
He succeeded and the Miles is now signed at LSU for 7 more years.

can we / thread now?

I don't doubt there was something to it. Jerry is the biggest booster they have, and of course Miles coached here...

And Briles' daughter works for the Cowboys...

Miles wouldn't take a step back.

That's a pretty serious offer of some serious money.

Guessing that Miles people used that to get more from LSU. That's just a guess on my part.
