Wow. But see. In Arkansas, no sportwriter wants to write a column like that. We don't like to be rude to our coaches. Can you see Wally Hall writing a column like that about Pelphrey? Of course nobody cares enough about our program to write anything like that. Jeff can't do it because he's the beat writer. It would take someone at a higher level who isn't afraid of hurting somebody's feelings. And that just ain't gonna happen. But this article could have applied to UALR. Just change a few names, and you've got yourself an article without any effort.

Yes Wally Small will write columns like that, once he gets down on a coach. He always begins with the new coach being the best coach in the country, and when they get on his wrong side somehow, he's out for blood in his column. He did it with Holtz, Richardson, and even his love affair with the Nutt boys finally faded for some reason.
It most likely won't happen at UALR, because he isn't really interested in UALR, but don't think it won't happen eventually with Pelphrey or even Petrino. Just let'em get crossways with him and you'll see. I've seen it for years.
