Wally Hall

[cram224]

Coming up on F'bomb.

[The Hawg Marshal]

I've never watched or listened to Finebaum , but I'm going to tune in to this.

[Andrew Hogfan]

Cliff notes please

[AFBack]

Just tuned in on tv.

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Cliff notes please

will do

[cram224]

Up next.

[jimmiewkersh]

Will it be fun to watch or will it be cringe-worthy?

[Seebs]

Wally has the spine of Mr. Loopner. I suspect nothing very controversial will be said.

[duckman]

Did you hear him this morning?

[TrueBlue]

Wally has the spine of Mr. Loopner. I suspect nothing very controversial will be said.

Don't know Wally, eh?

Love him or hate him, he still knows the pulse of the athletic program.

[Hawgndaaz]

Did you hear him this morning?

Wally is usually the last to act. Very telling.

[Cambridge Hog]

said if there was an AD hot seat Long would be #1.

said Long would go before Bielema.

[duckman]

He said Long will go before CBB...

[duckman]

Beat me to it...

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Everyone seems to like Bret personally but fans are tired of not winning. BB got contract after beating a bad Texas team. If there was a A.D. hot seat Jeff would be #1. Pretty much Jeff is good at raising money but not picking coaches.  Jeff will have to go before Bret does.

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Can't recruit in Texas because Bret pissed them off.

[HotlantaHog]

Interesting ... I know lots of folks don't like Wally but he usually has some pretty good contacts at Arkansas.

[Cambridge Hog]

Wally believes that JL will go before CBB, but apparently PF has been told that Long is 'renegotiating' a new contract.

he 'heard' that. what he probably heard was the negotiation of his exit.....

Wally speaking the truth. sounds like he's talking about a coach that is no longer there.

[Sed76]

Had never heard about Bielema making a fool out of himself in front of the Texas high school coaches. Good Lord, what a mess.

[ricepig]

27% of our current commits are from Texas...😀

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Yep, his smart a** schtick didn't play well down there. 

[Seebs]

Don't know Wally, eh?

Love him or hate him, he still knows the pulse of the athletic program.

I worked for him. Anything he knows is second hand at best which is why he is never vehement about anything. He is lazy, always has been. Edit some of his drivel before it hits the stands and you will learn this.

Don't know Wally? I wish that were the case. 

[Tusks]

The PTB at the UA may revive my belief in humanity

[phadedhawg]

replacing an AD and a HC in one year...ouch...

Gonna be a lot of ink and tears spilled before this ship gets turned around.

[ricepig]

Wally believes that JL will go before CBB, but apparently PF has been told that Long is 'renegotiating' a new contract.

Well, it would be time, the current one ends June 2018.

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

That's What the whole Cliff  Kingsbury thing was about.

[Pork Ranger]

MAKE ARKANSAS GREAT AGAIN

#MAGA

[Ironhawg]

You think they'll call Long's hand and force him to fire Bielema?  It's sounding to me like Jeff is going to dig his feet in and refuse.

[jacobp]

Had never heard about Bielema making a fool out of himself in front of the Texas high school coaches. Good Lord, what a mess.

Because it didn't happen? He was joking with them about all of them starting to run the spread. He told them all to start running power football with a fullback or he'd kick their ass. It was a joke....

[phadedhawg]

Even though I'm the only hog fan who likes Jeff Long, if this is what's being said by Wally then it's in worse shape in the BAC than I could have imagined. 

I will still appreciate some of Jeff's efforts on the Hill and he did raise the profile of the position and raised a lot of money.  Not a terrible legacy to have in hindsight. 

[Seebs]

How is Long going before CBB a hot take? What is JL's buyout?  How is this insightful? Chump change.

[Simple Swineman]

sounds like he's talking about a coach that is no longer there.

That's the impression I got. He also talked like Long is no longer there. Wally is hanging himself out there for some awkward confrontations with Long and Bielema if they are going to be sticking around. Wally doesn't do that unless he actually knows something.

$100,000

[ballz2thewall]

wally unloaded,

said cbb is no1 on coaching hot seat
said jl is no1 AD on hot seat

expressed disbelief and total frustration. mentioned bret's comments to coaches in texas. basically wally was frustrated the entire interview. he sounded very much like fans, and the collective opinion on hogville.

edit: he discussed the buyout and his comments and tone were such that jl must have lost his mind to agree to it, based on beating a crappy texas team in a tow totem bowl.

he mentioned the 160M$ expansion for just 3200 seats as though, "jeff, what are you THINKING!"?

[Seebs]

$100,000

Let me check my couch cushions.

And when Long leaves it invalidates CBB's contract per the fine print ... Good Lord be in the fine print

What was Finebaum's reaction to all this?

[hoglady]

Wally did say that Arkansas could not afford to let Bielema go this year due to the size of the buyout.

That's the most discouraging thing I've heard since this debacle of a season started.

That must be really fine print.

he doesn't know. sounded like from a budget perspective. not counting a white knight or three....

[ballz2thewall]

What was Finebaum's reaction to all this?

he was professional and let wally do the talking, and wally did. there was no holding back considering both words and tone.

edit: I FORGOT - he said that JL is a new style of AD, that might know how to raise money but doesn't know anything about hiring coaches.

edit2: he said that cbb didn't know what he was getting into in the SEC. he mentioned having No Identity, even though we're supposed to be a run team.

edit3: he mentioned the revolving door with assistants. that it's ironic because cbb complained that he couldn't pay them at wisconsin. said we could pay them at arkansas and they still leave. he mentioned better jobs, but his implication was all on cbb not being all that and a bag of chips.

[AirWarren]

Arkansas Athletics drama.

thanks.

[The Hawg Marshal]

I guess I heard it different than some of you guys. Wally sounded to me like he expects no changes. Now I know Wally doesn't know that much inside stuff, but that's what it sounded like he was saying to me.

[cram224]

Coming up on F'bomb.

I have sources.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

This, he gone.  ADG was basically UofA Pravda for years.  They are not going to go out on a limb and start stuff and damage relationship and access.  Deep Throat met Wally in the parking garage and told him the funds had been acquired.

Wally goes on national show to basically float it so the Illuminati can let the peasants know to put down their pitchforks change will be coming.

To have him on there now with only half the season gone is as telling as anything.  What it says to me is the change could be announced before the season ends.  I'm not saying that's a certainty but I'd say 75% chance of it happening if Bama and AU cream us.   

[ballz2thewall]

i heard the complete opposite. his tenor and tone was such that change is inevitable.

[The Hawg Marshal]

I hope so.

Long should go before Bielema.  My God, he's incompetent.

Sounds like typical HV then.....
