Comments
Look at Mike Leach. He leaves Washington State and basically turns Mississippi State into a passing machine in just about a month. Of course, it helped that he brought along his starting QB from WSU. I think Arkansas is going to improve under the new leadership but it is going to take a while to get things put together. I believe you have to go with Mississippi State in this one. I probably would have gone with State anyway had coaches not changed after last season.
