Who is your choice to replace him and why?

Try to be realistic about who are peers are and what would be a step up for an AD vs a step down or a lateral move.

Obviously you never read the link that shows just how highly respected Long is as an AD.

Subtle brag of waking up at 4:45am.

As far as ADs go,

I got nothing.

Same here, I am not a big tracker of ADs.  I mean, I know a lot hate ours, but not real sure if there is an upgrade out there or we are going to get a shitbag.

I just hope the university hires someone with Arkansas ties this time! This experiment with a nonarkansan was a total failure IMO

He had winning programs in basketball and football, his lady basketball did quite well also.

I honestly just want a guy who sets some winning expectations for the football program. I think Bielema has been way too damn comfortable here up til this year.
Thanks for the F Shack.

Nolan would have been my choice to replace JFB if things hadn't ended so badly.  There is no way he could do it now even though the wounds are healed up.  But, what about DVH?  We need some Arkansas blood in that seat.  I don't care that he doesn't have any business experience.  He runs a team and runs it well.  He would do the same with his athletic director role.  The question is could he do both?

Man we really have good people in the system that can do more for the winning siDE of this problem. I hope he's looking..I'll bet that who ever it is uses bazzell in coaching search, esp with award connection. Man, how in the hell does ark not have great coaches with that many top assistants coming here once a year. Frank. Louis and Kenny would have feasted on this deal, and the ad would have helped them. Long reminds me of this quote..sure looked pretty..
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! Hunter "my buddy" Thompson

We need someone with business sense, like JL, but we also need someone who can enhance the game day experience. I'm so tired of all these ads and honoring sponsors during every single time out. It completely sucks the life out of the stadium. AND BRING BACK HOG WILD BY HANK JR.

That's not happening no matter who is AD.

I'm merely trying to take it one step at a time.

First of all, at least based on my knowledge, we still have a HC employed for next year. Whether that's considered good or bad, I most certainly consider it the latter, all the talk and speculation about who might be our next HC is exactly that.

Secondly, that brings us to the AD slot. I realize there's been a lot of speculation that Long has been in contact with other programs concerning a possible move. The most persistent was the one recently filled at Nebraska. Again, how much of this is "smoke" and how much actual flames I have no clue. Whatever the case, I'll not speculate/offer my two cents on who might be a candidate for this slot until it becomes relevant.

I just don't see how you can keep BB another season and not have the whole thing implode to ashes.

It is not surprising that the gutless lapdogs on the BOT will keep Long.

Be careful there!  I brought up the Arkansas connection for AD in another thread and the Longlovers went Ape 5#1+.  They even started pivoting that JFB was not an Arkansan.  Yeah, but JFB won a national title for this University.  What has Long done?  I mean REALLY done?  Buy some new buildings and a stadium expansion?  Whoopie!  That's the easy crap.

Without the firing of Petrino Jeff Long is just another AD no one knows about.

Unless he goes O fer,  CBB is too.

I just don't see it.  Next season is going to be worse than this one.  Bielema will either take another job or be fired.

Those gutless lapdogs have a lot more important things to consider and worry about than who is the coach or AD.

If I won the lotto id have a lot of money.

If the you go to a football game they throw, run, and kick footballs.

If you go to a basketball game, they play with a basketball.

The ADG story that the buyout is only $5.9 million rather than $15 million took the oxygen out of the movement to get rid of Long. (I assume it was leaked by someone in the athletic department with just that intent.)

Bielema will be gone. Long will stay. Bazzel needs to keep designing trophies and making western sizzlin commercials.

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.

The University of Arkansas will not be forcing out Jeff Long. He won't and shouldn't be held personally responsible for Beilema's lack of progress over 5 years, but he can be called to task if he allows the deterioration of the football program to continue any further.
I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

outlawhogeywells

HE did interview for the Nebraska job.  So he is looking.  I say send him to Louisville and let him and Bobby rekindle there "friendship"
As for a replacement, since Long is always saying this is a business.  Hire a CFO type guy or a president or past president of a company to run the department and then have him hire athletic people to support.

It really sucks the live when every timeout we have another CEO or Company President get honored. I would allow them to honor me during the game and it is every timeout Long introduces some bigtime donor. It's way to much.

Long got us CBP and CBB is a head-scratcher of a bust as head Hog, was a good hire prior to playing games under him. Long's next hire will be a good one.
