Saying “we’re gonna play for a national title,” John L. Smith was formally introduced as the new football coach at Arkansas this afternoon.
Smith, who had recently left a job as an assistant at Arkansas to become head coach at Weber State, said he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to guide a team he helped mold.
The new coach got a 10-month, $850,000 contract and by one account, “hit the ground running” today in a style dramatically different than the “clammed-up Bobby Petrino.”
