SEASON-BY-SEASON RESULTS
FRED THOMSEN
13 SEASONS | 1929-41 | 56-61-10
Still the second-longest tenured head coach in Arkansas
football history, Fred Thomsen was an offensive innovator
who made the passing game an integral part of the UA
attack. He led the Hogs to what would have been their first
Southwest Conference title in 1933 only to vacate the championship for using an
ineligible player. All-SWC performances by Jack Robbins and Jim Benton helped the
Hogs to the SWC crown in 1936 and a tie for 18th in the final Associated Press poll
in its first year of existence.
