From a source within athletic dept. I don't ever post this kind of crap, so I hope I'm not immediately flamed, but I expect it.

Presser should be imminent.

Hogs have hit a wall at the wrong time of the season.  I will go on record now and say they may not even get out of their regional.  The hitting has been carrying them with a few good pitching outings but they just don't have the reliable pitching they need to get back to the CWS.

Hope this is true.

And, I hope it isn't for renovations.

I like that reply :)

Although not shocking, I was also told Bret currently has an alcohol problem that would drop the jaw of even his biggest detractor. This would be as much of a reason for his demise as any win-loss record.

Beware of false prophets. 

I don't know this for sure but he may be moving into the bowels of Barnhill arena to (his idea of a bunker) and staying a while with Tom Penders.  There's enough tanning beds over there that he can hide out in those for the foreseeable future and if they can't find him they can't fire him.  All this may blow over when the Hogs beat Mississippi State and Missouri the next two weeks. He's going to come out of that bunker tanned, refreshed, and in need of a shower and some aloe but otherwise no worse for wear and ready to lead the hogs into 2018 and beyond.

He had that when he got here.

I have a tendency not to believe this solely based on the timing.  It's just a weird time to walk away from the AD job.  Now, if you're fired, that's a different story, since it wouldn't be a timing based on Jeff's choice.

Not that I necessarily believe this hearsay, but wouldn't that be the most Arkansas thing ever? Make a surprise hire of a seated, winning coach then he goes and develops crippling alcoholism and tanks the team.

Could be that is going on at TAMU also.

This really needs to be true.

I've been on this board since the final Nutt days, I've seen enough. Many more posters longer than me for sure, but I've seen my fair share of BS.

I wouldn't start a thread if I wasn't sure. Any that know me off the board would know that. But I understand the sentiment considering all the crap we see here.

Let's take the high road and tread lightly on the alcohol stuff. Dogging the man for his coaching is fair game, but no need to pile on what might be a serious personal issue. We need to be better than that.

I'm not saying he didn't pack up his office, but I don't think for the reason everyone is wishing for. I've heard from multiple people that he's here until January then gone for a job at the NCAA

Dang man, I hope you're right.  Not because I care if Long stays or goes, but you're going to catch nine kinds of hell if you're wrong.

I didn't intend to "pile on" just saying that is as much of a problem to people in power as his losses.

How bout if this turns out to be true we just celebrate instead of trying to start crap with other posters? Bielema has to go but there were legit arguments both for and against long and some posters are dedicated hog fans and will support the hogs staff no matter what. But from what I've seen when change is made those some folks will get behind the new staff so oughta give them that chance.

If it's that much of a problem wouldn't that be cause for termination without a buyout?

wouldn't be the first coach brought down by booze at the uofa.

saw eddie sutton wheel into the cabaret on kavanuagh in little rock his last year. he nearly ran his 380sl loaner into the wall of the building, get out stumbling ran into the side of the wall brushing his shoulder nearly knocking himself over, said "excuse me" and walked into the bar and kept drinking.

No you didn't pile on. I'm just afraid how some on here like to take things and run with them. I have no issue with your post at all.

I have thought that he has a drinking problem for a good while. He facial skin has a reddish color. That is a symptom of excess alcohol consumption.

Legal systems would probably require you to give them man a chance to get help unless you can prove he was drinking on the job, showing up drunk, or not meeting obligations.  Legal system isn't going to care about W-L record.
