John L Smith to be named UPig interim coach
- Thread starter Coach34
- Start date
I actually think it is a decent hire for the interim. With Tyler Wilson and the coaching staff still there, it's not like they really needed a new direction. They just needed a care taker for a short time before they hire a big name in the off season. Just a care taker in my opinion and a pretty obvious indication that they will be looking to hire a big name long term solution after the season.
I mean they just hired this guy:

I mean, this is just a great day to be a fan of any SEC school not named Arkansas.

Guys, he is just an interim coach. Not the full time guy. I watched the Arkansas spring game on Saturday on TV, and I am here to tell you that they have an Aaron Rodgers clone at QB. A hobbit could be coaching them this year and it wouldn't matter. They are going to be very good, and even John L Smith couldn't screw that up. Now the loss of Petrino will hurt them in the years to come because unless they hire the perfect coach following this year, the program will begin to erode. This year however, they just needed a disciplinarian and someone that can lay the hammer down. A care taker if you will. This hire is nothing more than that. The real hire will be after the season.
Be allowed to coach.
That is what he coached at Arkansas. Special teams, clearly Petrino was doing a favor to his former boss who can't get a job other than broadcasting.
Also, I think its great that Arkansas hired another coach that didn't tell his players that he was leaving until halftime of his bowl game while he was coaching Louisville. Just awesome.
Anytime you can hire a coach that goes 22-26 at Michigan State, couldn't find a coaching job on his own for two years, and when he did it was coaching special teams, you have to do it.
WOOO PIG SOOOIIEEEE

Smith is a moron, his legendary slapping himself in the face press conference is just money.
After Nutt left the SEC, Miles had to be considered the dumbest coach in the SEC. Now he is entertaining as hell, recruits loads of talent, and his teams love him, but the guy is dumber than a bag of hammers.
With Arkansas hiring Smith, Miles once again will be runner up as the dumbest coach in the SEC, he has to be pleased with this hire.

-John L smith goes undefeated next year and UPig keeps him, eventually leading to their demise
-Upig beating LSU (and ole Les blowing another 1-3) and the bayou bengal's fire Miles, make a bad hire leading to their demise
2 of the top 3 west teams take a tumble and here we are ready to elevate and challenge bama...

I disagree with Pat Forde.

Good job hiring the guy that left his Louisville team andjust told his alma mater to go take a hike to replace the guy that also quit on his Louisville team AND his NFL team.
