It is not the coach but the players. If you got'em you can be good if not you're gonna be mediocre. Houston Nutt and Bobby Petrino were/are horrible people and both benefited from the best players Arkansas has produced in the last 20 years. Just because we had a better record when they were here, it does not mean those records were 100% attributed to them. They won some great games but they lost some from lack of coaching as well.
Remember Reggie Fish? Remember failure to scoop and score?  Those were lost from a lack of coaching.
I know some of you haters are going to say but they brought those players here and I say BS. I will give you that some were not going to play for Nutt and came to Arkansas because of Petrino's offense. But that offense would not have been squat without the players. You say what about Petrino's Heisman player? Well I say just look at Louisville and the BB program. That stuff can't be isolated only to the BB program.
Hog fan since 1960. So thankful for Sam Pittman.

Can't disagree more.  In college the coaching is more important.  Sure you need players but the coaches make the program in the college game.

sometimes it's a good and some times it's a schit

Its actually both. Good players make average players look great and vice versa. If we're completely honest, Nutts players made him look far better than he was. He vastly under achieved during his time here. Imagine what petrino could've achieved with a qb like matt jones or a backfield with McFadden/jones/hillis.
That's right, you don't want to be the man to replace the man.  You want to be the man to replace Rory Segrest.

Disagree. Robb Smith looked great when he had several NFL players. No matter how many times we change DCs with our current players, they still aren't going to be that good.

What have you been inhaling?  Reggie Fish and his failures against Florida were things a player learns earlier than high school football, and the scoop and score the same thing.  How do you blame that on the Coaches when the players have been doing that since they first learned football?  These two examples you used were pitiful examples.

Now this is funny...considering half the posters on Hogville have spent the last 5 years telling us how CBP was a terrible recruiter and Bert was a much better recruiter and doing it the right way. Losers are twisting themselves into pretzels now...comical.

Arkansas will almost always be a team that finishes in the 6-10 range in the SEC.  It's a talent-base issue, and 25 years of mostly mediocrity is my evidence.  It's just who we are. 

There will be outliers that tease us with the possibility of breaking out of that 6-10 band, but those good years (finishing in the top two or three) are only outliers.  One can usually attribute it to senior leadership or an unusually gifted QB, either can be a decent short-term replacement for team talent.  Fortunately, finishing in the bottom two or three is also an outlier.

We will eventually revert to our mean, after good times and bad.  We will hire and fire without understanding this principle, believing that some new coach can get us there.  No coach can attain a sustaining greatness at Arkansas, anymore than a coach at Florida State can keep them from eventually being who Florida State is.  It's a talent base thing, and unfortunately, ours is fairly small compared to the SEC giants.

Of course there are outliers to this principle, even.  TCU comes to mind as a team that has broken out of their band.  Nebraska has fallen the other way, likely to set a new, lower mean over the coming years.

But generally speaking, programs don't change much.

Uhh I don't think being a good recruiter has anything to do with your state that normal produces very little when it comes to SEC or even NFL talent all of a sudden has a boom over a two year period. Now yes Petrino had to get them on campus and he did but he greatly benefitted from a boom of instate prospects over a couple of recruiting classes.

Besides...lack of talent does not explain why we have not been able to make a halftime adjustment in 5 years

To be a great coach you need great players. Different sport but I always thought i was funny how Jim Leyland was during his careers as a MLB manager. HE was great when he had Bonds, Bonnila, Van Slyke Draybek and a couple other arms in Pittsburgh. As soon as they were all allowed to leave, he couldn't win there. So he goes to FLA and they buy a team of really good free agents for a one year run, amazingly Leyland is great again. All those guys leave, he can't win a game. Goes to Det, they put together a really good team of veterans and some of the best young arms and a triple crown winner in Miggy. Preston Leyland can win again. Then those guys leave or breakdown, and he can't win again. See the pattern? A good manager was great when he had great players to manage.

Coaching matters - look at the John L. Smith year - good roster - no coaching.

Look at the years after Danny Ford - Nutt took Fords players and won.

At the college level, with players staying limited number of years, it is about good coaching and a stable, well defined system, which we have neither.

During Boise's great run with Peterson they recruited a lot of players out of California and a lot of Jucos. They were actually pretty talented.

I think Texas and Louisiana. Florida is too far way and I don't think the returns justify the effort. As someone in an earlier thread said, we need to recruit DFW much more.

It really isn't about who has the best players. It's about who plays the best game.

Upsets are called upset because they are unexpected and don't happen as often as the more talented team winning does.
So yes coaching can help you win a game here or there but talent is what builds and sustains a program.
