After reports that Tommy Tuberville, Tommy Bowden and Jim Grobe were both going to take the Arkansas job at various points this offseason, both of them have decided to stay with their schools when today Jim Grobe reportedly turned down the Razorback head coaching job to stay at Wake Forest.

I think it’s time for Razorback fans to step up and take some responsibility for what this program has become. After the way Houston Nutt was treated in the wake of the Mitch Mustain fiasco, coaches are hesitant to take a job where they will be subjected to that level of scrutiny, held to absurdly high expectations and have their phone records FOIA’d by an overzealous fan base. What coach wants that for themselves or his family? I’m not sure who they think they’re going to be able to get know after three coaches have entertained the notion before turning it down.
