Fan launches petition calling for Arkansas to hire Mike Leach

Arkansas hasn't had the greatest start to its 2017 season, and one fan in particular has seemingly seen enough of head coach Bret Bielema.

Douglas Parker has created a petition indirectly calling for Bielema's removal and named a specific replacement who he believes to be the best fit for the Razorbacks, according to Andrew Astleford of SEC Country.

The title? "Bring Mike Leach to Arkansas."

The petition was addressed to Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long, and included a long list of Leach's accomplishments both at Texas Tech and Washington State to support the argument.

"Mike Leach is the man that the faithful Arkansas fanbase not only needs, but deserves," the petition reads. "Your signature is the first step in securing his services and bringing Arkansas football back to national prominence. Not to mention, it would be fun as hell."

The odds of such a move transpiring are exceedingly slim, but the idea of Mike Leach running an SEC program is an interesting concept.
