Rumors swirling that a very close to the vest search may end with Art Briles as the new Razorbacks coach within the next week...
Peterson has turned down much better jobs in the past, I'd be shocked if he took the Arkansas job.Word yesterday was that Arkansas recruits were being told that Chris Petersen would be their next coach
Agreed. Now is his time to cash in if he wants big money.Briles would be a fool not get out of Baylor while his name is hot and cash in, whether that's Arkansas or any other team more prestigious than Baylor.
I don't see Peterson ever leaving Boise now that they are back in the mix for the playoffs and all when it starts.Peterson has turned down much better jobs in the past, I'd be shocked if he took the Arkansas job.
Hard to speculate once the answer is apparent.We're going to hear all kinds of rumors about Arky, UT and the Barn until someone is hired, not putting much stock in any of them.
Sure he is on a lot of wish lists.Word yesterday was that Arkansas recruits were being told that Chris Petersen would be their next coach
Baylor has broken ground on a new stadium that Briles pushed for. He is a Texan and has always coached in Texas. If he was going SEC, he would have tried to get the TAMU job. At this point, I only see Briles moving to the University of Texas, if that.Briles would be a fool not get out of Baylor while his name is hot and cash in, whether that's Arkansas or any other team more prestigious than Baylor.
Sounds like a man that will only leave if taken out in a pine box.Baylor has broken ground on a new stadium that Briles pushed for. He is a Texan and has always coached in Texas.

Stanford does not run the West Coast Offense. They run a traditional pro-style offense.Briles would be a Chizik-like hire. if RGIII had never gone to Baylor, he would have been fire by now. The only coach I fear is David Shaw from Stanford. He's going to be a good one. I also think Willie Taggert would be a good coach. The only problem with both of these guys is teaching a quarterback the west coast system.
As DD said, Shaw doesn't run the west coast system; however, how would an Arky QB struggle to learn a system similar to what they run now?
