Jeff Long was the tight lipped hire made before any real info leaked AD.

Hunter is the get up, put on his floppy shoes, grease paint , and big red nose and announces to the world I'm trying to hire this guy AD.


Spot on.

Long was a self-absorbed, antisocial twerp and sucked arse, but he ran a tight ship with few to no leaks (for the most part) when it came to coaching hires. Both Petrino and Bert (especially Bert) were out of left field.

Conversely, Hunter is a shallow, self-promoting dipshit who's all talk, so he naturally telegraphs every move and gets absolutely rinsed by candidates and their agents.

Wade was a firm No from the money guys before the Beard fiasco went down, of course there was no back up plan per usual, so things may have changed.

It's exactly what I heard early this morning.. .10:30 ish. He may shoot the moon on some of this, but this is what was going on in the back channels from big $$$ boosters.

Theres N,S,E,W

Theres not many good coaches south of us.

So that leaves us North, East, and West.

1/3 chance or 33%

One could argue theres more good coaches East and West.

1/2 chance or 50%

Gotta go with the odds.

Hunter is obviously in phoenix where the final four is being held. Maybe that’s the “look west” clue. Our ad is just out west. That’s it.

Yep. Only three calls need to be made to make that hire so naturally we’ll try to hire the head coach at Tarleton State after their miracle run from a 4 seed to the Supers.

I like Beard and would have loved the hire but he parties a bit much for my liking. Feels like Bert

But beard wins
