Last night, news hit from Sporting News, an online publication, that a handful of former football coaches had some pretty interesting things to say about the team and players they coached, just a couple of months ago.

As this story began to take on a life of its own, we thought it would be worth your time to read how some of last year’s Razorbacks reacted to what they read their former coaches say.
@gragg80 @trey7672 @sn_greenberg That's crazy & selfish to say..How about us the players write an article? Call it #HurricanePetrino

Some of these guys attended UofA (or said they did) for three or four years and still can’t write a coherent sentence. Nor can their coaches. Sad.
