Not so much based on hiring decisions (yet to be determined for both Long and Hart, though Long did hire Petrino), but a much better PR guy. I thought he did a fine job handling the PR around the Petrino firing.
Because Arkansas wants the best and has made it known that they are willing to spend as much as it takes to get the best, while Dave Hart just wants a guy who he can boss around and won't take up too much of the spotlight? Just a guess...
Petersen has turned down offer after offer and is one coach that I actually believe when he says he isn't going anywhere. This article is a few days old, but he laughed off the rumors again.
standing beside us. All of the lower tier SEC schools are going to be running spread--a la texas a&m--and that's a good strategy. We apparently will be stuck with statue-like pro-style QBs.
Folks this was reported from a step above a blog...So we know what that means. I hope it isnt true. If it is Hart needs to be fired before he can make his hire from his list. I hope he has a surpise hire but I doubt it will be.

I would say that if Arkansas gets a "home run" hire and Tennessee is stuck with another low-to-mid-level coach, it will be a poor reflection on the leadership.
I hope we don't end up with a Big Least coach...pitiful.
Betting thats not true or happening. Bruce Feldman said he would leave Boise for 222 schools, Cal and Oregon. Think this is another Gruden, Peterson, Miles rumor. Those 3 said no and he probably will too. Gotta give them credit atleast they are making teams say no but its getting to the point for them its embarrasing.
