A Look Back: Arkansas Coaching History

I'm not really sure why, but I wanted to just go back and research some of our head coaching history and write it out. For me, it's helpful to think about this stuff waiting on our next head coach.

1908-1912 Hugo Bezek

Main reason to be included, he is associated with our current name. The Razorbacks. Bezdek came from Oregon and returned to Oregon after coaching at Arkansas. He is the first Arkansas head football coach to be elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. His career spanned Oregon, Arkansas, Mare Island (The 1918 Rose Bowl was fought between Marines and Army units during World War I), Penn State, and he amassed a 127-58-16 record.
