For the "Grey Beards" of Hogville . . .

[TeufelHog]

. . . WRT Jerry Jones, Jimmy Johnson, and Barry Switzer,

Why haven't they been more active to step-in "as a team" and turn this program around.  It's their Alma mater.  Could see Jerry Jones as an AD and either one of the other 2 as head coaches.  I believe it will take big name, previous professional football coaches to come in here and turn our recruiting completely around.  As in Alabama level recruiting results.  Former professional coaches at the HC, OC, and DC positions to turn the tide.  Young men would get in line to be coached by them, and the protégés they bring in, if for nothing else than having a better shot/path to the NFL.

Here's my logic . . . if Arkansas hired Saban and his staff away from Alabama they would duplicate the results here because the recruits would follow to be under their tutelage.  They see it as their best shot to the league.  "Bringing the league to Arkansas" would change the paradigm for future recruits and level the playing field WRT Saban and his staff.  Is there a reason why those three haven't intervened in a more significant manner?

Frank Broyles pissed Jimmie off. Barry didn't have enough integrity.

and jerry is kinda doing his own thing if you haven't noticed.

[JaketheSnake]

The only name today's recruits know is Jerry Jones.  And they have no idea he played st Arkansas.

[swineology]

All your candidates are over the hill

[Hogtimes]

Switzer is 80 years old.   Jones and Johnson are 75

[DoctorSusscrofa]

Switzer is 80 years old.   Jones and Johnson are 75

Yeah, they're old, but they could bring in younguns like Lou Holtz and Ken Hatfield as offensive coordinator and special teams coordinator to help em out.

[grayhawg]

Switzer is 80 years old.   Jones and Johnson are 75

Watch it, I'm 75........... Yeah that's old to start a new job

Jerry has a NFL team to run, Jimmy wouldn't piss on us if our guts were on fire, Barry is too old.

"I was born and raised in Texas, but my home is Miami.  I played for a NC team at Arkansas, but my school is Miami." - Jimmy Johnson.  Jimmy has HATED us ever since he was told he was going to be hired, then Frank hired Lou Holtz instead.

Barry Switzer is OU.  Barry has some love for us, but he really just cares about Barry, and OU.

Jerry Jones doesn't give a rat's ass about Arkansas.  Jerry cares about making money, chasing tail, and being Jerry Jones... in that order.

Did Jimmy attend the ceremony honoring JFB a few years back?

Jimmy has a little more love for Arkansas then you guys think.  Not saying it's over the top blind loyalty but he he still loves the hogs.

Jerry Jones has given WAY WAY too much money to Arkansas to say he doesn't give a **** about Arkansas. He does. Of course, the Cowboys come first. ATT Stadium comes second. Family third. Then maybe Hogs and duck hunting.

It's only the stupidest move Broyles made if you don't imagine Jimmy still leaving for the Miami job in after spring practice in Fayetteville and leaving Broyles holding the bag. Yeah, I know him well enough to know he'd have probably done that.
Or, as was Frank's biggest fear, having had to cover for him during some recruiting shenanigans around Dallas in 1975, if JJ had gotten Arkansas investigated like he did with Oklahoma State. He was long gone by the time the NCAA snooped around Stillwater, but it was his doings that got it going. They were riding high too until going 0-10-1 in 1990.

[Oklahawg]

If you are looking for a coach, go get Dave Van Horn to leave the dugout and be AD. Or Chris Bucknam. They at least know the nuts and bolts of building and maintaining top level programs. They know how to hire good assistants. They understand how to go about soliciting requests for facilities. They would satisfy the "gotta know the Arkansas Razorback culture" crowd.

At the time no. Hindsight is always perfect.

[Pig Worshipper]

Dig up Hugo.

Zombie Hugo Bezdek would be the most feared coach in the land.

[Tusks]

Jimmy Johnson was passed over TWICE.  He was DC under JFB and recruited that 77 defense Monte got to run.  He was inline to get the job but when JFB retired, JFB told JJ that he didn't have a good enough season in 76 to hire an assistant as HC and had to go with a coach with HC experience.

Then he passed over him him again and hired Hatfield.

So the UA passed on JJ twice, not once.

He might not care about Arkansas but he obviously cares about the Razorbacks:

And, as much as I respect Jimmy's championships, and would have loved to see his teams at Arkansas - it was the correct choice both times.

As Jim H. said above - and has been posted here literally hundreds of times over the years - Jimmy WOULD have gotten us in big time NCAA trouble had he been the coach here.  That's the only reason he wasn't named the second time (when Hatfield was chosen), and he has no one but himself to blame for it.

Well heck..... it looks like Jerry cares about Catholic High as well:

DVH yes. Dude is a winner and loves football.

No disrespect to Bucknam, but he inherited the greatest dynasty in all of college athletics and has only won like 1 NC out ~30 attempts (Indoor/outdoor/XC x 10 years), when we had been averaging about 1.33 NC's PER YEAR for the previous THIRTY years. I would take Lance Harter before Buck, who has won just as many, but built the program to national prominence himself (vs. inheriting).

Take my word for it, Jerry cares about the hogs way more than you think, and will be a major influence in the next hire. Jeffie better heed.

Jerry Jones doesn't give a rat's ass about Arkansas.

The evidence is quite clear that contrary to the above statement, Jerry Jones not only still loves the Arkansas Razorbacks, but he financially and publicly supports them like no other alumnus or fan.

[PigInTheHole]

... go get Dave Van Horn to leave the dugout and be AD ...

this

[tlmack]

Even if Broyles did pass Jimmy over,if you study Mommy's career,he never stayed any place more than 5 years. He always left just before the NCAA came snooping around.

[tlmack]

Sorry using my phone. Should be Jimmy's career.

[greasy_corner]

Jerry is.  Hell he cried when Jeffery unveiled the AR/Ohio State unis a few weeks ago in honor of the Cowboys running back...

Fair enough, but let's not overlook that while the hardest thing to do is build an elite winner, the second hardest thing to do is sustain an established elite winner. Buckham hasn't done poorly at that.

Not only did he dishonor Tom Landry, he did Don Shula as well. Only cares abut Jimmy. Jerry loves the Hogs.

[Hogwild]

If you are looking for a coach, go get Dave Van Horn to leave the dugout and be AD.

Been hoping for that since the end of last year.  Hiring a successful baseball coach, has worked at South Carolina and LSU.  Miss St. just did the same thing earlier this year.

[tbhogfan]

If you had a job paying around $2M/year to do pregame/halftime shows 18 weeks per year, would you give that up for the stress of being an AD for less money?  I sure wouldn't!
