Steve Sullivan 'hyping' Altman up on 6 o'clock news

[BigNasty]

Say it ain't so......

[ark30inf]

He better buy a balloon and a sparkler then.

[fu-man-soo]

altman, been at creighton 12 years and noone has gotten him?  there is obvioulsy a reason for that

[Winner]

Total disaster if it happens.

[Philip Seaton]

I saw that....what a joke!

[razorbackfan4life]

If he's just hyping him then it's no big deal.  If your saying that he's going to be the coach then......I'm gonna flip stuff.  No way in hell I want this guy.

[Arkapigdiesel]

Nothing like going to your 12th option.  Dana Altman, are you freaking kidding me?!

[Table Rocker]

wasn't the one so sure about Cal last night?

[Toad Suck Pork]

Wow, a completely different tune compared to last night.

[forrest city joe]

                           Thanks Frank. we fired a coach for this? are you kidding me folks? what a mess.

Yesterday he was really excited about Calipari and mentioned Altman as well.

He did mention Montgomery on the 6 o'clock news as well, but just said he is another possibilty.  He had a whole reume rundown on Altman.

[The Truth]

Good news!

As long as Dana Altman's name gets around in the media in connection with our coaching search, we can be sure that he will give Frank the finger. Who's next?

[ballhog™]

I just don't see the appeal of this guy.

[Table Rocker]

Wow, a completely different tune compared to last night.

its like thinking you won the lottery then waking up the next morning and finding out you read one of the numbers wrong and end up winning $50 bucks

[pokerhog]

wasn't the one so sure about Cal last night?

I don't think the media people know what is going on. It's very odd to me that it was reported that Cal was offered the job by everybody.

[Jimmy]

Dana Altman?   I'm underwhelmed.

[ballhog™]

what was their record this year?

[Tusks]

Altmans record look painfully familiar to the FB coach....maybe he'd fit right in.

[coolhog]

If we hire him, its because we cant get anyone else ans because
Frank has to go to the MASTERS!

[JShipCPA]

I just don't see the appeal of this guy.

There is none, that's why... 

Why didn't we just retain SH if we're taking a guy like Altman?

[forrest city joe]

Good news!

This is one guy i hope gives Frank the finger. i don't want Dana altman, here.

I agree Joe, how has it fallen to this level already

I think Hogville.net is everyone's source for this stuff.

I thought we won 20 games this year - what good does this coaching change do us if we get him??

[cmakrzrbak]

I just don't see the appeal of this guy.

There is none, that's why...

That's a little like Bama taking Nutt when they could have had Saban.

We need to keep shooting high, a big name WILL bite.

They have to make a splash, no way to spin this for a mediocre guy like Altman.

If that doesn't get you excited to for him to be our new coach, nothing will! 

This is unacceptable! :razorback: :razorback: 

[SWAhog]

altman, been at creighton 12 years and noone has gotten him?  there is obvioulsy a reason for that

Didn't we get one pretty good coach from creighton?

[pigfeet]

This is crap.

That will probably be Sunshine Shaffer's opening line for Monday's edition of DTS.

[rude1]

Good piece of research. Clearly illustrates that you need to look behind the numbers to get a better idea of what was actually accomplished. Eight straight 20 win seasons sounds good, but if those number are accurate, it clearly shows this guy hasn't beaten anyone of significance in at least those 3 years. Does anyone really expect this guy to be ready for what he is going to face every night in the SEC? I would have rather kept Heath if this is what we are to get, at least Heath had grown to understand what it was going to take to win in this league.

[SidApollo]

To answer some questions, Creighton was 22-11 this year, and he's been there for 13 years, not 12. And the good news for all you Hoggies that don't want him is that he has a track record of being the top candidate at several big-time schools, only to pull his name out of consideration...

[rzrbackd]

then this truly has all been a real waste of time. Maybe this is Frank's big screw you all on his way out the door. We HAVE to do better than Altman or we are the true punch line of every sports joke to be told in the near future.

Sounds very similar to Stan Heath's record.

[U.P. HOGG]

Anything Sully hypes, just means it will never happen.  PERIOD!

[HAM ELLIOT]

Wow, a completely different tune compared to last night.

NO!  Its like waking up and realizing you owe 50 bucks!

[HAM ELLIOT]

But look at the bright side!  He has sent two players to the NBA!

[WilsonHog]

Very simple here.

If 10 days ago JFB had called a press conference and said, "We're going to fire Stan Heath and hire Dana Altman," what would your response have been? 

[stan the man]

Don't be surprised if Frank comes up with someone we would never have guessed like Lou Holtz.  How many of us had any idea he was coming here until it was announced. 

[Hogtropolis™]

Very simple here.

Keep Heath.  No doubt about it.  Altman is NOT the man for the job.  My top two right now are Montgomery and Grant in that order.

[chortle]

Very simple here.

If 10 days ago JFB had called a press conference and said, "We're going to fire Stan Heath and hire Dana Altman," what would your response have been? 

I would have gotten in my car, driven from Conway to Fayetteville, walked into the BAC and kicked Broyles in his 82 year old sack.

You might of had to wait in a line when you got to the BAC.

                           Thanks Frank. we fired a coach for this? are you kidding me folks? what a mess.

FCJ, you dont' want one of the top 5 coaches in the country but you don't want this guy. Who fits your criteria and is someone that Arkansas has a realistic chance of getting?

I see you posting about the coaching search yet you don't seem to have a clue about how it works or who is going to be hired.

[Hugulus Hog]

Let me be the first to say, "Fire Altman"

[Ironhawg]

Looks like I am still going to save money on fb tickets and bb tickets again this yr.
