Grandpa Petrino Doesn't Give a Frick what you think....

[passed]

I say give BMFP three years. Either he improves us, or we continue to be Arkansas.

At least in my mind, I'll get the what ifs from 2012 out of my own head.

I'd be in favor of this.  However, it also depends (as many have pointed out on here) on who is going to get the money in.  If he doesn't get the purse strings loosened and there's money behind another candidate, we will have to, and should, go with that guy.

Devil's advocate: Arkansas Money Guys don't have a great track record when it comes to pushing a coach on us.

You are not wrong!  The proverbial rock and hard place.

I'm assuming a plumber is installing a new toilet as we speak.

Well done

I just sooooo want to be a fly on the wall for the team meeting and the D coach firings.  I wish this shit was on video for us all to watch.  Be worth that money I waste on Hogs+.

Allowing BMFP to fire half the defensive coaches seems like an act of faith from Yuri, or someone with authority.

IMO, Bobby's the man unless he falls on his face the rest of the way. And I'm fine with that.

How many of these snowflakes hit the upcoming portal opening?

Yep.  We all know this could crash and road rash out, but frick it, let's take the gamble.  

Beat Tennessee and then have Bobby and the team walk out of the tunnel to Voodoo Child against A&M.

no, but they are the ones who are going to make this hire happen. they're going to be asked to give more than they ever have and it seems like a at least a couple have someone in mind.

petrino has nine weeks to state his case.

[Hognrock]

That wasn't what I was trying to say.

It is alot to ask of any coach to come in 5 games into the season and fundamentally change the defense and STs.  Even with great talent you need an offseason with consistent coaching to make a great unit. 

I'm hopefull that HY is truthful when he says he doesn't expect miracles.  He wants to see effort.

You don't have to change the defensive scheme at all.  It's the giveafuckatude that we need to improve.

[BleedinRed]

Except BP, in the noon presser, talked about figuring out what our base defense is going to be as part of the overal change that is needed.

Yeah, Bobby didn't say we had bad schemes, just bad basic fundamentals.

[HTL]

Petrino and third and Grantham wouldn't be very exciting if that's who they go with.

I think he's referring to 4-3 or a 5-2 defense.  The kids that have made it to this level know how to tackle, run to the ball, etc.  Scheme doesn't matter, again it's effort that's killing us right now.

HY mentioned twice his plan to form a talent evaluation department responsible for scouring game tape from D II on up in order to identify potential portal targets in advance.

I'm not sure that kind of proactive strategy is allowed on the Hill.

We aren't poors but just in case we are we are going to create a scouting department costing untold amounts of money to kick over every rock in FCS, D2 thru 3.

i liked the 3-3-5 that west virginia ran under rich rodriquez the first time around.  although, i think it was better in teh ea sports ncaa football than it was in reality.

[animal]

I think whatever defense you can pencil in for a defense that has zero push on the line, zero linebackers to stop the run, and zero db's that can cover an old lady in a wheel chair. Whatever defense that is that can maybe slow somebody down or making them mildly annoyed will be better than whatever the fuck we have now.

It's been implied by the guys on 4th and 5 that they think T-Will thought he had a db group of Deion's out there or something because we were really hanging guys out to dry in our coverages. We aren't nearly that good to be doing that is what was implied. I tend to agree. So I think the answer to that is more zone. 

Our safety play especially has been a weak link made even worse because our linebackers refuse to stop anybody.
