SAD NEWS: Raheim Sanders shock fans with immediate resignation and exit today after facing….

The status of the union is not particularly good for people who live in Razorback Nation.

Undoubtedly, the news that Bobby Petrino would be returning to the Hill to rejoin the team and take charge of the offense cheered up Arkansas football fans. Enos Dan to Petrino? Consider an upgrade. Oh my, what a fantastic upgrade.

Perhaps Taylen Green, Petrino’s hand-selected quarterback of the future, proves to be as driven to succeed as KJ Jefferson was a few summers ago.

The Razorbacks require improvements in talent, mindset, and coaching in all three categories. They are not too far away in terms of talent. When your team loses by a combined 13 points on the home fields of current No. 5 Alabama, No. 9 Ole Miss, and No. 12 LSU, you can’t claim the talent cabinet is empty. Furthermore, it is more the coaches’ fault than the players’ for screwing the pooch against Auburn at home if you have the players to go to The Swamp with a new offensive coordinator and win.

If you like, assign blame to the players’ skill, but I see it as coaching. When everything is on the line, if your guys aren’t motivated to win against Mississippi State this year is eligible for bowl games, this staff should go for a long, alone stroll in the woods to ponder.

Whatever the problem may be, the supporters are in no position to fix it. Throughout good times and bad, which has characterized most of the past ten years, Arkansas football supporters have shown themselves to be steadfastly devoted.
