New Coach

Well it is official, the Razorbacks have a new coach, though it seems it is not without controversy. What do you think of the details of Bobby Patrino leaving the Atlanta Falcons in the middle of the season? The reasoning that I've heard is that if he'd stayed till the end of the NFL season, that he'd never have been hired at Arkansas, and also he would have missed the entire recruiting season. Do you think it was fair to the Falcon players and fans?

OK, OK, I'm gone here. My power has been out since Sunday night. Did the Falcons lose the Monday night game? And then did Patrino leave? Patrino got a raw deal anyway. He thought he was going to a team with Michael Vick. Then all heck broke loose. So he is coming to Arkansas now? I think that is a good fit.

yes, He is at Arkansas, and is already on the road doing recruiting. Everyone seems to like him except for a few ESPN announcers who seem bent on ruining any good will we all feel. The only thing that worries me is the way he left the falcons. I hope it doesn't get repeated while he's here.

The Falcons are a mess. It's a good thing he got out before things got any worse, if things there could get any worse.

I don't understand the team. They have one of the most beautiful facilities in the country. They have some of the most loyal fans that you'll find anywhere. Yet, their players continue to be in trouble and they can't seem to hang on to a football coach. I am wondering if someone needs to rethink the front office or something.
