Like Jon Gruden, no coaching search would be complete unless Phillip Fulmer‘s name came up at least in passing.

The former Tennessee coach has now been added to the ever-growing list of potential replacements for the fired Bobby Petrino, along with the likes of Gary Patterson and Gus Malzahn. Rumors connecting Fulmer to the vacant job have been circulating for a few days, but the former Vol does have one thing other coaching candidates do not: immediate availability....

Hiring Phat Phil to coach arKansas will just give me a valid reason to hate the Hogs...well, another valid reason I guess... :)

I guess I just don't get it.  He doesn't appear to be a good fit for Arky. 
The only factor in his favor is his availability.  What does he give them that they need right now, besides a butt in the head-coaching seat?

I think he could actually be a really good fit at arKansas.  He is basically a no-nonsense type of coach that usually has pretty good assistants to help field good teams.  I think the biggest problem he would have over there would be recruiting against the likes of Saban, Miles and perhaps the University of Texas... :dunno:
