I believe he addressed that in two of his posts. Do you have more info to dispute or add to what he says. Out of all the posts his was the most thought out and common sense post in the thread.
btw Not saying he is absolutely correct, but I sure think it is plausible.

Late to the party but here is my take. I'm not saying Pertrino is or isn't the offensive coach Gus is, but we faced similar problems when Petrino was at AR. It was my opinion then, and still is, that a top notch DC doesn't want to coach for teams that run HUNH or fast paced offenses.
When was the last time a team had a fast paced offense and solid defense? I can't think of any examples.
Take the AR-Mizzou game last week. Our defense was solid for 3 quarters. However, our offense couldn't stay on the field and we got killed late in the game. If you watched the game you could tell our defense was completely spent.
What kills the HUNH teams is when they quickly score a FG or go 3 and out. Then a team a team that marches down the field slowly scores a TD while eating 7:00 off the clock. This happened to us alot with Petrino.
That's not to take anything away from the HUNH teams, they've had success. But defense wins championships and that still seems to be the case.
