WHAT!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!! THIS IS BREAKING NEW FOLKS, CAN'T YOU TELL BY HIS AMAZING GRAND 8 POSTS THAT HE'S A RELIABLE SOURCE 

[Grag T]

The BigDealDoe account is back LOL

(but I suspect not for long)

[moses_007]

The thing is, they want an Arkansan, a football guy, who's always loved the Razorbacks, for AD.  I don't see Scanlon as filling that criteria. 

I still say it's Tommy.

What?

Scanlon is a Razorback.

Tommy is not.

Tommy said that nothing stinks worse than a wet Razorback.

True he is a former Razorback, but has he been a head football coach?  Tommy's been coach of Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Auburn and Cincinnati.

Kevin Scanlon:



I can't find a picture of Tommy in Razorback gear.

True he is a former Razorback, but has he been a head football coach?  Tommy's been coach of Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Auburn and Cincinnati. 

AND he's never dealt with money like Scanlon.

Coach does not = AD today.

Just because Tommy grew up in Arkansas does not make him a Razorback.

I know why people like Tommy and it revolves around what he said in at the TD Club.

Don't worry - Scanlon loves Little Rock too.

question at your own peril. i may not have been around here for a while but it dont mean ive stayed close to the hogs  and the program. those that do know me, know you can take my word to the bank. i know some of the names in the hat the top 2 or 3 but would be unreliable to reveal at this time

I thank you.

Should've checked your ID at the door.

[jcbville]

You got to give them credit for the coup, a few Central America countries could learn something here.

Truer words have never been spoken

[Karma]

FWIW......He goes way, way back with Jimmy Sexton.   Mike Norvell also is in Memphis - and Jimmy is his agent.

Was Sexton the agent for TT? Couldn't hurt to have an in with that guy.

[TebowHater]

Scanlon would be a Home run hire. Could successfully navigate us out of the financial mess we are now in and would never make such awful contracts. If ever in a bind can pick up the phone and call any big donor out there.

Tuberville would be a disaster.

[SugarHillGaHog]

5 pages later...

I should listen to all my voice mail from 501 to see if I'm the next AD.  I'm sure it's me.

[SooieGeneris]

"It would be interesting to watch Tubs attempt to successfully make the move from one chair to the other along the lines of Barry Alvarez or Tom Osborne."


....or.... hmm. It seems like was another HC to AD move that would be more pertinent to Arkansas. I just can't figure out who...

Also, TT had a not-so-flattering hot mic incident recently. If it's him, I expect that will be mentioned in every story.








[/quote)When at Ole Miss in the late 90s, Flubberville had a camera in the visiting locker room before the Raycom telecast or whatever it was.

It was cold and rainy in Fayettevile for Homecoming. The last thing Flubberville said before his Webels took the field was to intone "member fellas, nuthin' stanks like a wet hawg"

And we want this idiot for AD? Not me! He supposedly has such strong ties to the state.

Did he attend UA? NO!
Has he ever coached in AR? Only at AS-Who!

[factchecker]

People really want this guy leading the Razorbacks?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon/2012/12/12/tommy-tuberville-texas-tech-cincinnati/1763615/

Tommy Tuberville left recruits at dinner to take Cincinnati job

[From Tusk Till Dawn]

It's Tommy T. This has been in the works for a while, hence his speech at the TD club

That would be interesting if true, obviously circumstances would be different if he got the job but he spoke highly of CBB.

[Pecos Hog]

yes

People have lost they minds.

[DeltaBoy]

Woo Pig 🐖 Sooie

[SooieGeneris]

Barry Alvarez spoke at the TD club too...

Snowflake Blake from AS-Who spoke at the LRTD, so I guess he's the new AD if Flubberville turns it down? Please!

What financial mess are we in? Besides all the buyouts we created ourselves?

[SooieGeneris]

If it's TT, we would certainly be the talk of college football.

Laughing stock is more like. Those people must like losing and drama would be the headline. That job hopper left Ole Miss for the Barn.

I do give him credit for staying there a long time, but left Texas Tech for Cincy with one phone call from his agent while hosting Texas Tech recruits.

He just left them at the restaurant and didn't come back, told them nothing and was announced at Cincinnati the next day.

What a class (less) act! He would leave us for Auburn as AD or somewhere else in a heartbeat. He has no loyalty to this state or anyone but Tommy T!

[HoggyCat]

True he is a former Razorback, but has he been a head football coach?  Tommy's been coach of Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Auburn and Cincinnati.

He's ran a business and knows football.

Everyone's favorite line when I bashed Jeffi was "did Long call the plays??" It's not the AD'd job to be the coach. It's his job to find the right coaches, PROPERLY oversee budgets, build relationships and be low key. If you've got to be in the public eye, you're probably not doing the job everyone thinks you are.....

[TebowHater]

What financial mess are we in? Besides all the buyouts we created ourselves?

That's all I mean. We have like $20M in buyouts. Another 5M+ in new coaches contracts.

$120M in stadium debt.

Falling TV revenue.

Main issue I speak of though is just the extra 20-25M we created for ourselves with Long and CBB (+assistants) firings.

Scanlon's connections are huge.

We might see a sizable increase in donations if he is hired.

[HoggyCat]

For one, if the renovation stays aren't 80% sold upon completion of the renovation, Cede & Co can request payment in full.  Who can write a $120M+ check?? I know they say 62/70 loge boxes are sold, but what about the 3,500 club seats?  And the suites?

Yeah, but I don't want another buisness guy.....that's what we had with Long.......strictly buisness, that's why the Hogs left Little Rock was his buisness B.S, and that's why we are spending over a hundred million on like 3,000 seats and those ridiculous suites.....I'm not saying it has to be a football guy, but I would much rather have a former football/basketball/baseball coach than I would another corporate person, even if it is an in-stater......

Suites are sold out and if Scanlon is hired then I will seriously consider moving from the SOC to the NOC.

[HoggyCat]

Donations are going up regardless. A Foundation official told me I was far from the minority when I told him I'll donate when Long is gone.

[SooieGeneris]

Many fans/boosters would not even accept a phone call from him.
Guess ole AD Nutt could then call one of his infamous "code reds" on the "slaps" that stopped contributing.

Or have "Mother" Teresa and Danny come after them with a 2X4..

Mmmmmkay.

Mmmmmkay.

I'm not sure what you mean but I would love Scalon being hired.  It would increase my trust with athletic department.

I think he is a great prospect who can help unify our fanbase.

[cjack]

Scanlon was the quarterback of the Hogs

[TebowHater]

We certainly would. Warren Stephens alone would give us a boost.

TV revenue isn't falling, maybe some day.

[SooieGeneris]

The guy that hired Frank Haith from Missouri? Which placed Missouri in trouble AND Miami? And you guys talk about Long making bad hires....

I was thinking Gragg might be a good choice, but forgot about that. Any AD who hired that Steve Urkel looking idiot is out in my book!

They didn't spring He Haith Me's buddy Nevin Shapiro of the U. from the federal pen to give him a job at TU did they?

[LZH]

Haven't seen my old buddy Sean Rochelle's name mentioned. Just wonder if he has even been considered. Always liked him, and he is a straight shooter.

[SooieGeneris]

Scanlon is from Pennsylvania. DeltaBoy is going to hate that carpetbagger.

Scanlon has been in the South for over 40 years first at NC State, then here, but ole time's is not forgotten to some people..

[rzrbackramsfan]

My nephew took a picture of Tommy T in Memphis airport today. Not sure what he is doing here.

Interviewing mike Norvell?

Da da da dummm

[SooieGeneris]

Mark David Chapman?  Lee Harvey Oswald? John Wilkes Booth?  Osama Bin Laden?  James Earl Ray?  Did I miss someone?

JW Booth would make one poster really happy. He might bring in Dr. Mudd as the team doctor..

[SooieGeneris]

Michael Anthony Hall

Tiffany Amber Thiessen, for gender diversity's sake. Bobby would be begging to come back, although she's probably too old for him..

[TebowHater]

TV revenues are definitely falling nationally, see ESPN. Sorry, didn't mean ours are actively falling, but rather that the next SECN contract will be worth a fraction of what current contract is.

[HoggyCat]

Scanlon it is, and I like it.

But the suites aren't sold.

[TebowHater]

Scanlon it is, and I like it.

You are a joke. It is a fact the suites are sold. 100% fact. Please call tomorrow and pretend to try to buy one. Please.

[Pork Twain]

I would love for it to be Tommy T. or Kevin Scanlon.

[ricepig]

It expires in 2034.

Then he needs to tour the country instead of unifying the Arkansas fan-base.

Wow, thanks for link. We still only get a fraction of total revenue generated and if national trends catch up with SEC that fraction will shrink, but good to know current deal we have lasts so long.
