Rumors and more rumors

[rogersvillemohog]

That's what got us Pelphrey. No thanks, We need a Hog oriented search committee if it comes to that. Then we must be swamped with involvement from Old Hogs from all decades. From the Hatfields n Lyndsays to the Atwoods n Hamptons to the Old linemen to Chuck Dicus to McFadden to Jones to Dirt Winston to many many many others coming up there and hands on working to restore our tarnished image. All the way to symbolically destroying the frontal Hog to every anthracite uniform and white helmet there is up there. Go back to RAZORBACK red and have the 2 stripes down the leg and the olden tops. We must regain our tradition from the Yankees and modern punks who have destroyed all things RAZORBACK!!!!

Much like Chris Matthews, I just got a tingle down my leg.

[HogimusMaximus]

Just get rid of Fatty, the rest will work its way out

[elviscat]

Mr. Integrity, has got to go first and then BB and staff.

[Athog]

Can we get any more pathetic than this thread!!! I am still laughing!

[Hogs-n-Roses]

Well you could have joined the 10,000 left at the stadium the other day. That was pretty pitiful.

So it's around 830 Thursday morning?

[hoglady]

I sent my email.
(I'm not posting it as I mentioned family members who played for the Razorbacks).

I'll post any responses I receive.

[KennyForAD]

Does the north end zone project have any impact on retaining Long?  Maybe the BoT would want that finished before he departs?

YES!   They don't want to see it be freaking empty, which it will be for as 'long' as the fink is here.

[playamade76]

We don't need a dang search committee. They need to form their list and start making contact like yesterday. The early bird gets the worm.

[East Clintwood]

Not if the coaches agent is doing his job.  He'll wait until all interested parties make their offers and then try and work those offers up to take the best one.

So brave.

[hoglady]

So brave.

So I gather from that reply you don't agree with fans sending these folks emails?

[ricepig]

YES!   They don't want to see it be freaking empty, which it will be for as 'long' as the fink is here.

I guess you don't get the updates on the suites/boxes/club seating sales? While to say they aren't connected would be disingenuous, people who spend $4000/seat/year aren't the type to let who the AD is factor into their decision on whole.

[The NewEra]

So I gather from that reply you don't agree with fans sending these folks emails?

AP believes we should shut up and take our medicine.

[hoglady]

I guess - I just really didn't understand the need for the snarky reply.

[EastexHawg]

AP believes we should shut up and take our medicine.

You left out "and send our money".

[PonderinHog]

AP believes we should shut up and take our medicine.

You don't have to shut up to take this kind of medicine.  (This is gonna hurt a little...)

The interesting thing about Eichler's email is it seems to indicate that the BOT will indeed make a decision on this matter (whatever you said in your email.) Maybe it's a form, but that's different than the thought that the BOT is hands off on these types of employment decisions.

The BOT tells the Chancellor that they are getting tired of having to empty their in-box, make this problem go away, haha.

[cjack]

They aren't form letter responses.  I got two different responses from each of those.

[wildturkey8]

I'm hearing that they are concerned about the number of administrators in the Athletic Department and there is a touch of buyers remorse setting in on the NEZ project.

Even if every suite and box is full to the brim, it is going to look ridiculous if the rest of the stadium is less than half full when they unveil the expansion for the first game next year.

And that is likely to happen if Bert is still the coach.

there sure have a bloated roster of assistant & associated ad's

Most businesses, when doing well, get a bloated payroll. And at the 1st sign of trouble, they start axing people that they never needed to hire in the 1st place. 

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Oh hell it's all about W's.  This buyers remorse stuff is crap.  Win and put a decent brand of football on the field and enough seats will be sold.  It's just like the demand in the last days of Danny Ford.  They were getting 35,000 to the 55,000 seat Razorback Stadium.  Nutt comes in and has 2 good years and they have to add 20,000 seats and the biggest video board in college football. 

Besides not being a very exciting coach BB is not a good salesman at this point.  If you aren't winning at least be entertaining.  He is neither.  The right hire isn't guaranteed but we know the current one isn't working and won't put butts in the seats so the only thing they can do is try to get someone better.

Couldn't agree more! Wins and personality. Let norvell take his show on the road in our state talking to our clubs. Won't be an empty seat to be found and I bet the seats will sell themselves.

I basically explained my family and extended family had supported the program for over 40 years.
Expressed dismay over the state of the program - that fans felt hopeless and for some apathy was setting in.
That as fans we have no say in personnel decisions and therefore we have to place our trust in them to do what is necessary to restore the program.

Nice work Hoglady!

Long is at odds with the Razorback Foundation over the NEZ expansion too because none of the seating requires a donation to the Foundation and they aren't happy about it.

Hmm, I'm hearing the opposite.

You summed it up perfectly!

[PorkRinds]

I emailed and told them we need to hire GUV as AD and 12247 as the new coach. From their responses, I feel like they're considering the possibility.

Good post.

Because, they would rather them be empty and pay out of their reserves??? Goodness, your thought process......

What on Earth are you talking about?? It is true that purchasing seating in the new NEZ area does not require a donation to the Razorback Foundation.

Now get to the part where they're mad about it or something.

I said the Foundation is unhappy about it and they are.

You sure have a lot of post without bringing anything to the table.

Says who? They call me weekly to ask if I'm still interested in moving from the SOC to the NEZ, I don't sense any unhappiness.

He can't, it's another theory rattling around in his head.

That sounds more like something the ticket office would do instead of the foundation.

[hogsanity]

Not letting Guv get on here and ramble on unchallenged is bringing something to the table.
