I can't see him lasting more than a few years at Ark. Expectations will be low but he'll come nowhere close to reaching them. The middle of the SEC is too good and at Ark they need someone that can recognize the undiscovered talent in Texas, Louisiana, etc. They aren't near the 'national' brad they were ~20 years ago, good example of a program that might be happier being a tiny fish in a big pond ($) than one of the big fish in a small pond. The middle of the SEC is too competitive and too hard to reach the top.

I've always underrated Wisky's talent but it looked like it was getting to be pretty solid. They always won 4 cupcake OOC games every year puffing up their W/L record making their program look better than it really was.
Wisky got special benefits for going to the 'east', a cross rivalry game of Minnesota every year. That and there 4 OOC games almost gets them a bowl game every year. Much like Sparty got special benefits for being in the 'west', missing Wisky, OSU & PSU in '13 & '14 along with Indiana as a cross-division rival...
Sparty fans actually hate that matchup and it looks like the '14, '15 schedules are going to blow-up with expansion... Hopefully the entire division setups get blown up along with the scheduling.
