Good read!

Wally understands its NOT the coach.

Good article.

I like the article. Well, all except where he wondered why Razorback Road hasn't been named Frank Broyles Avenue. Like the man needs another thing named after him. He's already got the BAC and the football field. It's not like JFB is a former President that needs every other high school in America with his name on it.

Wally is correct.

You beat me to it. ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Get over Broyles. He has had enough accolades and memorials.

Wally understands its NOT the coach. 

Interesting read and a very very familiar article from old Wally.I can remember at least a dozen articles just like this one the last couple of years along.

Wally really had to think long and hard about this one I guess.

That being said there is one glaring thing difference about this article as oppossed to the many previous ones, and that is this insert, "This is not about coaching. That is there."

The dozens and dozens of the same type of write ups from Wally in the past has always been about the coaching.I was looking for his signature mentioning of other coaches as a way to put down the current Razorbacks coach, but he left that out.I wonder why?

A few words to Wally, everybody in Arkansas is not some backwoods fool with back memory or a kiss a**

I honestly don't think they were playing selfishly.  I think they just have limited talent as far as passing/decision making.  They were playing as a game.. and sometimes even too much.  Their passes led to turnovers.  Heck, we may have won the game if weems would have just kept the ball and shot left and right.

I have been smitten many times on this board because I thought Doc Sadler would have been a better hire. Now that we are into the season, it appears that I was not wrong. Doc would have brought the same energy and passion that JP has brought. However, I truly believe, based on DS record at NE, he would have taken the measures to turn this team around. Obvioulsy, JP is struggling to do so..so go ahead and smite me. What troubles me is that 40 minutes of Pel could turn inot 40 minutes of Smell.

+1, I have a feeling you're going to need all the help you can get with karma.

Just having Pel is a moral victory.  Just having that passion gives us a bunch of moral victories, no matter how much we lose.

so you think we should have hired someone who could have done a better job with heath's recruits?  i'd rather have someone who can turn the program around with his system and his players.  pelphrey will make us forget the past 10 years starting next year.  the good thing about having so many seniors is that you get to start over much quicker.

I guess I'm failing to see something meaningful here but please point out to me where Nebraska has accomplished anything this year which suggests that Sadler would have been a better hire than John Pelphrey:

Sat, Nov 10 Presbyterian W 67-52 
  Sat, Nov 17 Alabama A&M W 59-45 
  Tue, Nov 20 Norfolk St. W 83-48
  Sat, Nov 24 at Creighton L 62-74
  Mon, Nov 26 IPFW W 79-62
  Sun, Dec 2 Arizona St. W 62-47 
  Wed, Dec 5 at West. Kentucky L 62-69 
  Sun, Dec 9 Rutgers W 63-51
  Tue, Dec 11 Savannah St. W 82-37
  Sat, Dec 15 (16) Oregon W 88-79 
  Sat, Dec 22 N.C. Central W 71-28
  Sat, Dec 29 Alcorn St. W 77-53
  Fri, Jan 4 MD Eastern Shore W 86-50 
  Sat, Jan 12 (3) Kansas L 58-79
  Tue, Jan 15 at Colorado L 51-55 
 
Sure, there's the win over Oregon (incidentally enough, coached by a guy named Ernie Kent who NO ONE on this board wanted to see hired at UA), but unless you are thrilled with W's over the likes of NC Central, Savannah State, and Alcorn State, then Sadler is NOT your guy.
