Hate it didn't work out with him but I'm excited to move on!
Did they get you to trade a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage...?

Hope CBB gets a job and is successful somewhere.

He has class.  He has not said a bad word publicly about Arkansas.  His coaching ability is what was the problem.

Bunch of jerks here. Brett is a good guy

Hogeration

I liked the guy after a couple of years. He was very cocky when he got here but left humbled. Very classy tweet. He did not have to do that.

I know the truth, and that is if you hit the lotto for $11.7 Million, you would be pissed if they paid you in $20 bills instead of $100 bills.
You guys are just blind and it is not my fault. Guy walks away from here with 30 million dollars and produces nothing, and you sit around patting him on the back, talking about how great of a person he is. Funny I didn't see him telling his attorney to take a sensible buyout because he hadn't produced, no he sent his attorney to get every dollar  possible on his way out. I just don't see how great of a guy he is................

Apparently I was one for standing up for BB and his tweet, however my last was deleted. Really! That's why I am no longer a MOD on Hogville. I am too emotionally involved in all things RAZORBACKS!

No it wasn't his fault he had his finger in ole Jeff's eye. But does that excuse him for making the cash grab on the way out the door, knowing he hadn't delivered anything on the field?

That's the business of coaching. If he did as you said, would you leave money on the table? He didn't have to reach out to Morris, but chose to. I hope he has great things to say about his time here.

He took what was contractually owed to him. Doesn't make him any less of a class act.  Guy is full of class, unlike many on this forum.  Many could learn some very good life lessons from him that would make the world a better place

So he stole money? You want him to just burn money on fire? Well done by him I say, it's Long's fault, you're blaming the wrong person here lol

Most things football related I didn't care for. But outside that he's a great human being.

Class act and always has been. I'm sorry it didn't work out for him here and I wish him the best moving forward.

Exactly! He peter-principled. Nice guy? I don't know, never met the man. Good coach? No. So he needs to remain classy because that's all he can hang his hat on right now because his coaching record is atrocious at Arkansas.
"DO NOT POST IN THE GAME THREAD ANYMORE TODAY OR YOU WILL RECIEVE A 30 BAN!"--

Multiple play-by-play posters followed by "Good job, D" and "Way to go, Offense" is so interesting to read over and over as the team gets blown out and the coaches flounder. I can't figure out why game threads don't have 60 to 80 pages now.

Am I the only one that misses the old, interesting game threads?

If by class you mean he manipulated an AD who was in love with him to get a contract he neither earned nor deserved, then I agree.

Wasn't a good fit here. Class act though. I hope he lands a good job or ESPN talking head gig. Very charismatic guy.

CBB was always a good guy.  I really wish it would have worked out, but he just didn't have it.

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

He did his job honorably. It just didn't work out. You don't know if it would have worked out next year or not. He didn't get that chance. It's not like he stole money. His agent negotiated the deal. You want to be mad? Call Jeff Long.

Fact is, the guy came here because he wanted -- and thought -- he could win here. He took the job. He came looking for it. His kid is now from Arkansas. He has ties and roots. I'm not going to knock the man for sending a congratulatory tweet. In fact, if Bret and family ever want to come have dinner with me my door is open.

He negotiated his buyout.  He could have got the entire amount if he really wanted, which was apparently a few mil more.  And that's how contracts work...

Making the cash grab?  He took what he was contractually due.  He fulfilled his end...the results just weren't there. 

Problem is that the terms of his buyout were too generous for too long.  That is on our former AD and probably factored in his termination.

Dwight_K_Shrute

Why people got to be such asses even after he is gone.  Yeah I dogged on him mercilessly this season.  Yes he's getting a fat buyout, but there's nothing contractually obligating him to show class and dignity yet he freely chooses to do so.  The outgoing coach being so gracious sets a good tone for the players and the incoming coach.  He and Jeff have been nothing but class and I respect both of them for it.
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.

He didn't have to say anything, grow up and acknowledge that not working out at Arkansas doesn't mean we have to hate him as a human.
