Arkansas head coach John L. Smith discloses that he is preparing to declare bankruptcy, and may do so during the upcoming season.
And here’s some wishful thinking: “Smith said the primary reason he’s talking now is so his personal financial problems don’t become a distraction during the season.” Good luck with that, Coach.

I can’t believe the University hired someone to a high profile leadership position who was about to go bankrupt.
Pathetic. Shame is dead.

Actually, it’s a perfect hire. If he loses or just doesn’t win enough, they don’t re-up the guy. Even if he wins they can use this as an excuse if they find someone they want more. The only way John L. is in a power position over the Arky brass is if he wins the SECCG or the BCSNCG or both.
