Twitter blowing up now that Arky has hired Wisconsin coach.
Any confirmation?

Re: Brett B to Arkansas?

Just got a text alert from ESPN saying that he has accepted and it isn't known if he will coach in the Rose Bowl. Good Hire imo but he doesn't scare me from a recruiting or x's and o's standpoint.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic JBama. Anyways it's also on ESPN's bottom line as breaking news.

Re: Brett B to Arkansas?

Seems to be all over Twitter at this point. Doesn't mean that is a done deal but seems like it has gathered a ton of steam. Pretty surprising to me considering all the smoke around Gundy. Don't really remember his name being thrown around a lot. Kind of surprised that he would leave Wisconsin for Arkansas, but seems to show just how big the SEC has gotten now.

Re: Brett B to Arkansas?

I'm definitely not an expert, but I think it will be way easier to recruit at Arkansas than Wisconsin just because of the location and conference. The weather is terrible in Wisconsin.

And I wasn't really implying that it he would make Arkansas someone Alabama has to worry about every year. I just think he was better than I expected out of them.

IMO, Malzahn would have been a much better hire, and he's not a great hire...

Think it's hilarious he griped and moaned about how Urban Meyer recruited at Ohio St (talking to players who had already committed elsewhere).... Don't think he knows what he's getting himself into.
