Wow! @AP_Top25: Breaking: AP source: Arkansas hiring former assistant John L. Smith as interim coach.
If you are going to use the label "interim", why not just give it to someone on the staff instead of bringing in a whole new coach but then cutting the feet out from under him with that tag? Makes zero sense. I liked how they handled Petrino, but this is a joke.
Hire is perfectly logical to me. Perhaps no one knows Petrino's system better than Smith. It comes straight from the Erickson lineage. He can handle the spotlight unlike McGee.
