The youth hypothesis might have merit if we hadn't stunk with an NFL line last year. Proof is in the pudding, and Arkansas' is pretty good. It was good for Butch to hire who he wanted, but letting Pittman and Chaney walk was not a good move. Oh well, now he can solve the Iissues. Good coaches have problems like bad ones. It's just the good ones fix them.
my point is that ifa, woulda, coulda is nice but those individuals are in large part responsible for the offense we have today. Their poor evaluations, lack of recruiting, etc play a large part of our current situation. BtW, the offense that Chaney is running at Arkansas is in no way, shape or form close to what he ran here. In fact it is night and day different.
Also, if they were that good, our offense would not have SUCKED so bad when they were here.
