The handwriting is obviously on the wall, gotta think he's got a short list that he's already contacting.

I hope he likes the plains.  Nebraska has his name all over it.

Jeff needs to go and go soon.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Agreed, and I believe that will happen.


Everything that has come out this week indicates otherwise. I'm going to go ahead and ruin your weekend


An extension will be announced soon for long.

Just because Finebaum says he "Thinks" Jeff Long is negotiating a contract extension doesn't mean it's going to happen.

I don't think Long is getting an extension, but I don't think Long is going to be let go or quietly take another job elsewhere.

I think he is since his contract is up in July.

I believe his contract expires next summer so if he doesn't get offered an extension or a new contract, I'd doubt that he hangs around until his current contract expires.

Jeffrey leaves here, it will be to a commissioner job or another P5 athletic department with multiple solid athletic programs like Arkansas. Contrary to popular belief, while at Arkansas his stock has gone up, way up.   We'll be fortunate to keep him.

I think the only reason he's where's he's at is because of the Petrino firing, without that he'd be just another ad.

He needs to GO!!!!!
Why? Beilema's buyout has turned out to be fairly reasonable, so he didn't screw that up. Because he hired CBB in the first place? Heck, everyone in the entire country was shocked that we could snag the sitting Wisconsin coach, it was considered a fantastic hire at the time.
  Honestly, why all the hate for Long? Is it because he's from up north? Or because he's respected by his peers. Maybe the new reason is that he has exposed nearly all of us on Hogville as complete idiots who can't decipher a relatively simple employment contract that's been out there for 5 years.
 
I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

He would be great as Nebraska's AD.

More than anything, Mr. Long wants to run a clean program. And Coach B. does that. When Auburn, Ole Miss, and the others go down for their cheating. Arkansas will stand proud.
I am fully cooperating with this investigation and looking forward to clearing my name

Even Princeton and Yale do that but don't win very many NC's.

Mr. Long will give Bret the opportunity to finish the season. If he does not won 7 games he will be fired. You can book it!

Any coach that sends a handwritten note should go to file 13.
Little known fact, but prior to settling on Guantanamo, the Pentagon wanted to house terror suspects at War Memorial Stadium.  It was deemed to be cruel and unusual punishment and in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Is it too much to ask for the person hiring the coach to not require him to recruit choir boys... or at least get a coach that doesn't emphasize that? We're not Vanderbilt, no matter how much Pope Long wants us to be. I just want someone that will get ballplayers... they don't have to be brain surgeons. Keep them graduating, academically eligible, and out of jail. If you can't keep them out of jail, recruit enough speed to outrun the 5-0.  ;)

Yes, he's contacting any and all universities that are possibly interested in hiring a new AD. His CV is bright and shiny today, and he's putting it out there for everyone to see. He's the kinda guy who must leave on his terms, and he's not going to risk getting fired over the next few years.

Football - mediocre
Women's basketball - new coach
Softball - just participated in the NCAA tourney
Golf - good

I hope long is reaching out for another school.

No thanks. I would rather Razorbacks not be in the news for raping women and stealing credit cards. IMO, that is much more embarrassing than losses on the field.

Pretty much covered that. The last part of the comment was obviously sarcasm.

maybe I misunderstood, but I thought Wally implied that JLong would go before BB and that might be coming down the pike when he was on Finebaum.  I didnt see the interview, so I could be completely wrong. Everyone on here was saying that Wally doesnt write anything unless he has already been told something, so I just assumed that Long was on a hotter seat than BB.   But I guess I shouldnt assume.  LOL

I have seen a poll where Long ranked something like #5 out of all ADs of Power 5 schools.  Outside of the state of Arkansas, he is well respected. Thats why I figure we are stuck with BB cause Long loves him some BB and I figured the BOT loves Long because of how financially stable the Athletic Dept has been.

Nebraska fans won't accept Bielema no way. They would probably be OK with Long.

Seeing there's a huge check coming from the SEC this turmoil isn't as big as you're saying

rzrbackramsfan

Ever since I leaned the buyout for Bret is reasonable to low he was in good graces with me.  I don't get why some of you are so mad.  He's as an AD, not a psychic.  It was a good hire and firing Bret at the end of the year will be appropriate timing.

Tim Horton for what?  Head coach!? Wouldn't that be for the head football coach to decide?  Or be forced to do.
