A person familiar with the decision says Arkansas is bringing back John L. Smith on an interim basis next year to replace Bobby Petrino.
Smith, who left the Razorbacks after last season to become the coach at Weber State, is returning on a one-year appointment, according to the person who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because the school had not made its decision public.
Smith is also a former head coach at Michigan State and Louisville.
Petrino was fired April 10 after his affair with a woman he hired as his assistant was revealed by an April 1 motorcycle crash.

John MFL Smith

I chortled at Snags' post. :rofl:
-
Apparently, Smith bailed on his alma mater Weber State, who had hired him as head coach 3 1/2 months ago.
Smith had just completed his staff three weeks ago.

Something Arky didn't learn from Petrino (literally and figuratively):
Most of the time if you are a mistress to a man, the man has had a mistress before you...and will have a mistress after you.
-
Don't know if anyone posted about this on here but it was reported that Petrino's motorcycle mama and Arky parted ways for less than $14K and an agreement for her not to try and profit from the situation in the future.
That being said, I doubt it. I'm thinking more like a Wall Marks bag of cash and a wink.

He left his first wife Pocahontas for his current wife.

John L Smith lost 8 of his last 9 games at Michigan State, only winning vs NW. Imagine getting an SEC HC job with that resume, even interim?
See what he did there?
I hope the real UA beats uat more than normal now.

Sacks of douche on WNSP evaluating likely wins and losses for Arky.
Alabama: LOSS. Emohatic No question.
Auburn: That's a W. Talent alone, easy W.
Fuck those clowns. Is there really some enormous talent disparity between Arkansas and Auburn? I don't see it.

Welcome to the State of Alabama, you new here?

No shit. Although, over the years this type of media exposure bodes well for Auburn. A case where a negative creates a positive.
-
JMHO, but this is a horrible move by Ark. It appears to be an attempt to "keep the current staff in place" yet do it with a guy that is not an interim coach. J. L. Smith was on the staff 2009-2011, and I guess they feel he'll keep things rolling right along. This is the Ark. version of the Nallsminger experiment, but with the HC instead of the OC.
Ark. wasn't looking to divorce Petrino, but they wound up that way. In a divorce it's simply best to move on, and make wholesale change even if you didn't want the divorce to start with.

How many idiot college fan bases are going to think that before they realize he could have had dozens of college jobs since he left NFL coaching, yet chooses not to take any?

In case he was being too subtle, he followed it up with this.
C'mon .... No way Gene Chizik lost his last 10 games at Iowa State and was hired by Auburn.
:taunt:

See, this is where a twitter battle takes place. Mentioning a BCSNC in Chiziks second year is a nice response.

Comparing their starting QB to our 3rd string QB pretty much proves K's point.

Both started last year. And has that been announced officially?
And you can sub in #10 or #14. From what we know now, Arkansas is better at QB than Auburn. That's not debatable at this point.

At QB, yes.
The entire team of raw talent? It's not even close. One of their few 4 stars the last 4 years? Tyler Wilson.
From Rivals......

raw talent - Key words right there.
Here's hoping Boy Wonder and The Stasch are the difference. :bar:

Aky has def overachieved more with what theyve had to work with and Petrino was def good in that regard, but they have nowhere near the talent we do. They are barely in the top half of D1 teams in recruiting. They had talent where it counted which was at QB, RB and WR (Wilson, Davis, Wright).
-
Arkansas = Ole Miss with a couple of good years under their belt. Nothing to see here....move on.

Not really. We return quite a bit of experience on both sides of the ball. GH showed you the difference. You can think there's a talent gap between Ark. and Auburn, but if there is one, it favors Auburn. You can pick one key position to prove your point if you wish, but there's 21 other positions on the field.

If you go back and look at who they beat, and who and who they haven't under Petrino, they really haven't over achieved. They did beat the teams they should have though.

Football is played on a field and not on a rivals ranking page. Auburn's had their hands full of these slimy hogs for years and the sooner that changes, the better.

Boom. That just happened.
Arkansas beats us on a regular basis.
Ole Miss not so much.

Agreed. Arky has been a thorn in our side while we pretty much own Cold Piss. I've just never seen so much attention paid to a coaching search for a team that's never done squat. They've had 2 of the best years they've ever had since about 1960 and they still didn't win the West. Every "big" game they play.....**kack...ack...cough...wheeeezze....choke**

And that's why I said we had more talent than them, not a better team. More to putting a good product on the playing field than talent alone - ask FSU or UGA. Someone just questioned if there was a talent disparity so I answered. Yes there is, but to Auburn's favor. Putting a quality team on the field is another discussion.

They've had our number ever since we hired their native son, "pine box", out of Oxford.

While I agree Ark has been a bit of a thorn in the side of Auburn, we still hold a slight 1 game advantage over them since expansion, and are .500 with them the last 10 years.
That said, it's meaningless as to the here and now, and the future, and any talent gap that there is, is advantage Auburn overall. If you want to choose one position to say it's not, then have at. To borrow a favorite line from our bammer friends, "they only beat us when we're down." And before you go off trying to find the big upset they pulled here and there, I remember Fred Talley well.
