Jim Grobe - I do not know who Jim Grobe is. I understand he was the ACC Coach of the Year and the National Coach of the year. Jim Grobe is not awful. However, didn't Arkansans just lose an 8-4 coach?

When Houston Nutt left for Ole Miss, the goal was to hire someone better. Another 8-4 coach does not cut it. If new UA athletic director Jeff Long was going to go this route, he might as well have hired Reggie Herring, the Hog's defensive coordinator and interim head coach. If the result of this coaching search is an 8-4 guy, I would rather have Herring.

I would much rather have Herring and by a long shot. I do not want another 8-4 guy. We had an 8-4 guy. Do you know what he did? He went 8-4. That is not good enough.

Houston Nutt, the past 8-4 guy, was SEC Coach of the Year for 2006-2007, so the Hogs have already had a coach that has won coaching awards. I do not want a guy who wins coaching awards. I want someone who wins conference championships and national championships.

I really want to swear off the Arkansas Razorbacks football program for a while. Long should have hired Herring.
