More than likely, I doubt that would happen for at least 2-3 years though. Until then, we could get a good foundation built. And let's say for argument purposes he took us to a 9 or 10 win season. If he does leave, it would not cost us anything more. We would not have to buy out the contract.
And then it would be easier to find a good coach with a better record and better prestige.
Sure. I mean it worked out perfectly for Louisville and Arkansas, right? Oh, wait...
You mean you don't like Bielema? Worked out well for Arkansas. It was Arkansas who chose to fire Petrino so late in the cycle and hand the reigns to an assistant instead of getting a coach.
Louisville got Kragthorpe'd, but I think thye're happy with Strong. Petrino's tenures at both schools made both jobs more desirable in the long run.
Well technically Smith had already taken over at Weber State, but Arkansas didn't have too much in the way of options given Petrino's impeccable timing.
