Just Resign, Baby

In an odd footnote to the Lane Kiffin-to-Arkansas rumors from the Great Football Coaching Search of 2007, it seems that Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis is asking Kiffin to resign. Only thing is, Kiffin won't do it (this really seems like a George Constanza situation).

From a Razorback perspective, the real shame is that Kiffin isn't a defensive coach. After all, he's known to have at least a modicum of interest in the school, and from what I hear we could use someone to lead that side of the ball.

In other Oakland/Arkansas news, the Raiders seem like at least a somewhat realistic destination for McFadden. For the record, all Hog fans should hope that this doesn't happen...that franchise is a disaster. If any team could mess up D-Mac's potential for NFL success it would be the Raiders, so keep your fingers crossed on his behalf.

Come on Lane! Frank Broyles – who was our own personal Al Davis – has retired.

Darren McFadden surely does need some luck. On the surface it would seem that someone with so many awards and honors and with his record at Ark is already a lucky guy. But I think the Hogs spotty record this season hurt his chances for the Heisman as much as his bruised ribs. I hope someone is keeping an eye on this kid; when he was handcuffed at a bar just before declaring for the draft it was obvious that he has the potential to be his own worst enemy. I wish him well.
