Arkansas is on the same level as SC if not better. Much better winning tradition. A much better job than Missouri.
Florida, Bama, UF, and Georgia are the elite jobs in conference.
Its pretty simple. He just didn't win the Big 10. He won pretty big. Three straight Rose Bowl appearances. That's impressive with any kind of style of play.
There's a myth that Arkansas needs to run a spread to be successful in the SEC. That's just not true. They were successful with power running games with Houston Nutt and he couldn't recruit nearly as good as BB. BB will bring in talent and win with that talent.
This isn't just some guy who was a coordinator or won at a small school in a small conference. BB consistently won big in the Big 10. He can win big in a big conference regardless of style of coaching. Basically, Arkansas has hired a proven winner who knows how to coach.
Plus, who knows what kind of offense he will run since he is a defensive coach. Probably a pro style with running the ball and play-action like at Wisconsin and if he finds a good QB, then his offenses will succeed.
Can't argue with his resume.

Arkansas has alot more money than Tennessee from what I hear.
More money, closer to Texas, no in-state BCS compe or. I definitely think Arky's a better job than Tennessee right now.
Butch Jones to Tennessee.
Arkansas gets a Big10 coach. Tennessee gets a Big East coach.
I like Butch Jones.

Bobby Petrino to Western Kentucky.
Petrino's obviously got more skeletons in the closet than we know about. He's too good a coach to not get a serious sniff at any of the top tier openings.
Western is gonna be good
Relative to their conference, maybe. Its still a Sunbelt school though so I doubt they make any noise nationally. Probably a conference le or two before he bolts imo.
Report states Harsin to Arky State:

CBSSports has learned the 48-year-old Sumlin was pursued by three NFL teams as well as one major university this past month. Before this new deal, Sumlin, who led the Aggies to a road victory over No. 1 Alabama and a top-five finish, was the lowest-paid head coach in the SEC.Texas A&M has given Kevin Sumlin a pay raise after his first season, the school announced Saturday, with a source telling ESPN's Joe Schad the new deal is for five years, taking the coach's contract through 2017.
Is A&M's athletics department still in debt?
No.
A&M borrowed $16M from the University interest free to pay for numerous things including infrastructure and facilities. They were never "in debt". They paid back the 16M loan which was interest free on time and is now profiting very well. Bill Byrne had his own way of doing things and he is since gone.

Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin was offered gigs by Philadelphia Eagles and Auburn but said no thanks, says @billyliucci
