Wow.

Why? Waiting on another job?

It upsets me more that we offered him the job!! Hire Anthony Grant!

razorbackntexas · March 30, 2007, 10:58:32 am

We didn't really offer him the job did we? I'd rather us pay heath 2 mil to coach us than pay him anything.

Mork · March 30, 2007, 10:58:55 am

Hire Marshall!

WADHOG · March 30, 2007, 10:59:19 am

When did we offer Lon Kruger??

Winner · March 30, 2007, 10:59:40 am

thank you! best news all day

I can only speak for myself, but I know which of those two disturbs me the most!

Whoever brought up the idea of hiring caveman Kruger ought to be excommunicated from the athletic department, IMHO!

darth sooie · March 30, 2007, 11:02:32 am

Good, figures the PTB that be would frick it up by 1) offering him the job 2) having him turn it down, which excellent news in any event. Let's see if i were gonna guess at more boneheaded moves, the ptb will probably hire altman, , rick m., or even better hamilton from flordia state, than flordia state will hire Anthony grant and we can watch him turn flordia state into another flordia.

TorsinAHog · March 30, 2007, 11:03:01 am

Ive learned that hogville "sources" mean nothing. Sorry Drake.

Smithian · March 30, 2007, 11:03:04 am

I really was hoping we didn't get him.

It brightens my day that yet another guy said no.

hogblade · March 30, 2007, 11:03:10 am

Lon Kruger is not the direction i want my program to go with a quick fix that would leave as fast as he came here. he has raved and raved about how much he loves living in Vegas because he and his wife love going to the shows. What shows would he be going to here. he would be here for the money that is it.

hogblade · March 30, 2007, 11:03:23 am

Why the quick fix?

Spiral_cut · March 30, 2007, 11:03:24 am

I would rather have a mid major up & comer than Kruger. Looks like i might get my wish!

Juboar · March 30, 2007, 11:04:22 am

Thats strike four for Frank-
Mid Major here we go again.

Ray$ · March 30, 2007, 11:04:31 am

hire Anthony Grant

3kgthog · March 30, 2007, 11:04:32 am

LMAO Ha ha ha ha ha ha. What did we really expect with the old man trying to make the deals? He needs to swallow his pride and stop going after coaches at bigger programs. The only chance JFB has is if he goes the mid-major route.

Karma · March 30, 2007, 11:04:32 am

Did we offer him the job and he turned us down, or did he turn down the opportunity to speak with us?

WADHOG · March 30, 2007, 11:07:52 am

I'm sorry but I can't picture Frank Broyles going through a list with phone in hand offering jobs. The man isn't what he once was, but come on. How are all these people being offered jobs??

rasorback4life · March 30, 2007, 11:08:07 am

The circus goes on and on and on......

Shouldn't they have left town by now.

Please - we all know Branson shows easily rival Vegas shows. I never tire of seeing that Osmond brother.

bhuie · March 30, 2007, 11:10:47 am

Good. I didn't want Kruger. Looks more and more like another mid-major for us. If that's the case, let's hire Anthony Grant or Reggie Theus and be done with this circus...

pujolstain · March 30, 2007, 11:11:51 am

And Gillispie is a done deal...right.

Hire Majerus. Even if he's only around a few years he will make us a Top 10 program again for the next guy

As USC found out, he may only be around a few weeks.

Dwight_K_Shrute · March 30, 2007, 11:12:22 am

Drake, per your sources has Floyd been offered and/or turned us down. Thanks

JDW-20 · March 30, 2007, 11:13:01 am

I'll take the job right now for 100,000.

fu-man-soo · March 30, 2007, 11:13:01 am

im not buying this sorry.

but if kruger did deny us you cant blame him for wanting to stay with his son

Man_O_Pork · March 30, 2007, 11:13:37 am

Probably waiting for his chance to get to the NBA and see how he can do there...oh wait...the hawks...

WILL CLINTON · March 30, 2007, 11:14:51 am

Have you pm'd a mod with your sources??

This would be hilarious if it wasn't happening to the team I love and have loved for over 25 years.

So sad.....

hoghogg · March 30, 2007, 11:17:15 am

If that is true that we offered him the job I am dumbfounded. What is JFB thinking, Lon fricking Kruger? Come on. If this is what it is coming to, why would we not hire Anthony Grant? What the hell is going on?

However, I must say I do not find this credible, especially if he turned it down.

Hogtropolis™ · March 30, 2007, 11:17:40 am

Anyone who was on the Hire Lon Krueger bandwagon is welcome hop on the HIRE ANTHONY GRANT bandwagon!

You might as well leave this board if you don't buy what Drake is throwing out there. Of all the people to discount, he isn't one of them.

If you've been around here long enough, you would know who has real sources and who doesn't. Drake has real sources!

weresoclose · March 30, 2007, 11:22:12 am

Once again, not surprising. Why would you leave UNLV to come to Arkansas???

Dude just got there, his son's on the team, IT"S VEGAS BABY!, and he's right there close to everything happinin'. Who would ever think he would come here anyway>>>

We have got to stop being so arrogant. COACHES DO NOT WANT THIS JOB!!! Gillispie turning us down spoke VOLUMES about how our program is viewed. Plus we're not going to pay 2 million, which is what it would take for a decent coach to leave somewhere nice just to come to Green Acres Arkansas. That's the way they view us, and perception is reality.

We are going to get stuck with a mid level mid major. That's why I'm promoting Dana Altman, since we probably couldn't even get Lowery--once again why would he come to this side-show Athletic Dept?

His son is a senior I believe so that shouldn't have any bearing on his decision. I think he's in the mid $700,000 range. I'm shocked that if we offered a big bump he wouldn't even consider it.

Dugann · March 30, 2007, 11:37:34 am
