Pelphrey Wolves Sholuld Be Beginning to Howl

Appalachian State 74, Arkansas 67 in Alltel Arena in Little Rock on December 22, 2007. Simply sad. The beginning of the end of the Pelphrey era. But why aren't the wolves really howling yet? Media spins and fan disillusionment.

Wally's spin.

Press conference.

Bobby Petrino: Which one did we get?

Choice A: The Atlanta Falcons Coach?

Choice B: Louisville Cardinals Coach?
I am guessing that Jeff Long and all of Hogland are betting on choice B. Let's see. This space is not going to sing any praises until he is proven on the field. Just for the record, the cabinets on the football team aren't as bare as fans and the media want us to believe. In essence, people are giving him some grace period without any merit. Why? The fallout from Atlanta and the belief that he will be choice B.

Why hire Jim Grobe?

It looks like Jim Grobe will be the next coach for the Hogs. See these sources:

ARSN

So why? He has a dismal and not even mediocre head coaching record. I guess it is because he beat Ole Miss (see video below) while at Wake Forest.

Michigan defensive coordinator Ron English??

Ran into this on espn.com...

"ESPN's Joe Schad is reporting that Michigan defensive coordinator Ron English interviewed for the Arkansas job on Sunday (December 1, 2007), according to a person briefed on the meeting."

Maybe Reggie Herring has a real shot at the head coach job at Arkansas!!
