Way to go, Coach Smith

Congratulations John L. Smith for making Bobby Petrino look like Vince Lombardi. Smith took over Petrino's top-10 team and in two weeks, turned it into an unranked afterthought. Harry Houdini only wishes he could make something so big disappear so quickly. Yes, I know that should be past-tensed since Houdini is no longer with us. But, then again, Smith's status as Arkansas' coach should also be used in the past-tense. That job interview couldn't have ended any quicker if he'd shown up for the interview wearing flip-flops, a clown nose and one of those foam fingers. If anyone had any doubt, it's official. John L. Smith is not the man to lead Arkansas' football program. The Razorbacks couldn't protect Tyler Wilson against Louisiana-Monroe. Are you kidding me? Arkansas' quarterback was on the turf as much as the Razorback logo Saturday night. The Warhawks pummeled him senseless. What the hell would Alabama do to him? Offensive line was a concern last year. This year, it's a tragedy. How do you not improve that area? How do you not come up with a scheme to give your QB a little protection? ULM beat up your quarterback. I told anyone who would listen the Hogs were overrated when they gave up 24 points to Jacksonville State. ULM quarterback Kolton Browning looked like Favre, Vick and Montana all rolled up into one as he dissected the Razorbacks. Kolton Browning? Who? What? Arkansas was uninspired, unprepared and under-coached. On a day when the SEC flexed its muscle with Georgia and Florida welcoming new members to the league with losses, Arkansas showed once again it's in the SEC, but not really. If the only thing separating the Razorbacks from a Sun Belt team is the quarterback, then seriously, how good is your program? Last night's debacle showed Arkansas' football program has lots of holes, especially on defense and in the offensive line. But, the biggest void is on the sideline. We appreciate everything you've done for the Razorback nation, Coach Smith. Good luck in your future endeavors.
