[BrassNunchucks]

The source "familiar with the situation" in this column today by an ESPN reporter isn't the random Georgia fan named Bimbo who hit him up on Twitter earlier this week.

Is Enos even interested in leaving?
One of our media types need to simply ask Enos point blank if he is interested in moving to Georgia. Enos can shoot this down very quickly.

[ricepig]

I'm pretty sure our lawyers knew what they put in the contract, and as mentioned above, what makes anyone think he would want to leave?

[tophawg19]

Arkansas would first have to give permission for Smart to talk to him. otherwise it's an NCAA violation

Not really, we didn't ask Wisconsin for permission, haha.

I think it is more of a common courtesy unwritten-rule thing.

[Hawghiggs]

 If ENOs wants to go then let him. I don't want any coach that doesn't want to be here. We paid him a fair amount of money and we could pay the next guy the same.

uhm... Bret wrote a letter to Jeff Long that said," I'm inspired by blah blah and would love an AD blah blah and congrats on putting morals over winning"
Basically said I want the job.
Very different

It still isn't an violation, just common courtesy.

He will meet with the media tomorrow afternoon. I'm sure this will be one of the first questions asked.

[The Boar War]

What's the difference between a non compete and the actual contract that was signed stating that he would be at Arkansas?  Even if he didn't have a non compete he would still be breaking the contract if he left early.  What's the reason for an addendum to a contract that's being broken anyway?

Because there is a buyout in the contract, thus the reason for the non-compete with the SEC schools.

The buyout is only for SEC schools?

[ricepig]

No, the buyout is for other schools, the non-compete is for SEC schools.

As long as the buyout is paid, then there is no breaking of the contract if he went to a non-SEC school.

Got it.  No buyout (no matter how large the offer) is applicable to SEC schools.

[BearsBisonsBoars]

I'm confused by the title of the thread.

[Hog_Swanson]

I for one, will wait to hear from Mike Irwin be for I let the HV "blow up" affect my thoughts.

[NuttinItUp]

"no matter how large the offer"
...
Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that. If they offered us $1 billion, we would probably tear up the contract and let him go to an SEC school.

[reddogjcss]

I don't think he wants to leave! A raise hell yea everyone wants a raise! Two more years at Ark with great offense he can be a coach at any major college. Power 5.
He's got offense going his way with no fall off in near future, or go start all over again for a guy who's never been a head coach.
I think he stays at Ark two more years and offense shines then he can pick a job.

Saturday afternoon presser? Hmmm....something must be up!
Quick, someone grab the "Uncommon" Farm Bureau Hog Backdrop. Stat. 

[greenEGnHAWGS]

I honestly think that Enos doesn't want to leave but he has had a great season and is the perfect time to cash in. So, just like Pittman, the best way to maximize his raise is to entertain other coaching jobs.

[MuskogeeHogFan]

I believe that is the way it is. If Notre Dame came calling for one of our Assistants they could pay the buyout and sign our coach. If Georgia comes calling, the buyout is a side issue with an agreed-upon non-compete in their contracts regarding other SEC schools. SEC schools (and perhaps any school that we currently have on our schedule for the next 4 years or so) would be the only places that they weren't allowed to go.

[COCHISE]

I'm confused by the title of the thread.

I'm assuming the OP hopes any coaching change may have to do with Enos as opposed to Pittman.

FootballScoop can now share that Pitt OC Jim Chaney will be the new offensive coordinator for Kirby Smart at UGA

[ldfergu]

Well you don't have to worry about losing Enos to UGA anymore.. Apparently they hired Chaney

Georgia: Sources confirmed to us Pitt offensive coordinator Jim Chaney will be the offensive coordinator at Georgia. Sources tell us to expect Arkansas offensive line coach Sam Pittman to join him."

[MuskogeeHogFan]

I guess they had to hire someone.

[Tim Harris]

The hire of Chaney makes the other rumors seem quite possible.

[secneahog]

Pittman?

[YtownHog]

Oh the name Pittman was mentioned. Guess this will go to V&R too. Even though all the signs are pointing to something actually happening.

[ldfergu]

The hire of Chaney makes the other rumors seem quite possible.

Yep. Maybe CSP is tired of how hard he has to work on the recruiting trail here. Definitely easier to UGA..

[porkinsons disease]

Looks like the CSP rumor has legs. I sure hope we keep him

[Nosboar Accubond]

Pittman? To V&R in 3... 2... 1...

[COCHISE]

I can't ever tell if it's a legit rumor or the work of an agent.

[JBoroHog]

Losing Enos would be a tough one. Hopefully we are ok. Losing Pittman is bad. I didn't see it coming either. Crap. Crap

[MuskogeeHogFan]

Nothing but rumor at this point and threads that indicate that it is a fact have been moved to the appropriate place.

[Hogtimes]

Sorry...that is not correct
