“Yes, winning is important,” he said. “Now contrast that if you’re a win-at-all-cost program which we’re not and I’ve said many, many times we’re not, then you don’t worry about the academics, you don’t worry about the conduct, you just win.
“And you know what? When I arrived here 10 years ago, that’s not what the leaders wanted at the time and certainly that’s certainly not what we’ve delivered.
“Yes, we want to win. Yes, it’s a priority. Yes, it eats us up from the inside that we don’t win more.”

At least we know why they're always middle of the pack.

Show me someone who complains about fairness, and I'll show you a loser.

He's been AD for 10 years? Jesus time flies.

Well when you collect $20- $30 million dollars from the SEC every year like all of the other member schools and you have a rabid fan base that will fill up the stadium and buy gear you can get away with mediocrity.
Really not a surprise- mediocrity is applauded in this country now.
New motto: JUST DO...enough to get by...IT

Show me where he complained about 'fairness'. Jeff Long is on top of my shite list right now but no need to just randomly make up crap.
Dear Jeff- that's all good, I don't even have a problem at all with what you said there but the EFFING BUYOUT- what the hell were you thinking??????

In modern day CFB you can win at all cost (put your resources into creating an environment that leads to Ws through facilities, coaching salaries, support staff), or you can lose at all cost (don't win and the AD, coach, support staff all get fired). Those are the only options and it's clear which option Long is waist deep in.

Misprint. What he said was
"Arkansa is not a win at all......'cause... program"
"Arkansa is not a win at all......'cause... program"

Nice try Jeff. We all see what you're trying to do here

Undoubtedly it isn't Jeff. This year is your 25th anniversary in the SEC and you have yet to win just one SEC championship. Think about that for a moment.

We are in the wrong conference then.

Unbelievable, if that is the direction he is taking the program then why have tickets gone up 1 million percent since he has gotten here? For the amount of money they are asking for the result is that they aren't even really trying?
This is shocking to me, why are we even in the SEC? We should probably consider moving to the MAC.

What a biiiatch statement. I would be sick if I was a hog fan really now. Sure u don't sacrifice integrity etc etc just to win but it can be done the right way. Arkansas football is the lifeblood of that athletic program and statements like that makes ya wander if they have the right leader

As long as you have that in charge of your program you will always be mid lower third of sec west.
