What was MA promised that he hasn't been given?

He wasn't promised new LED ribbon boards for advertising.

It doesn't matter what was promised and has not been delivered, yet.

What does matter is that these simple promises have not been kept in a timely fashion, word gets around in the coaching profession.

Delusion is thinking that firing an established successful HC who improved the program with minimum support for the athletic department will be rewarded in the rare occurrence of established successful HCs lining up to fill the position.

The list of potential candidates would be on the level of Pelphrey or a HC with a decent level of success with baggage for days (Sampson for example).

Jeff Long and the university has, at this date, still failed to deliver on promises made during the hiring process of Anderson.

Did CMA have to make any promises during the hiring process or was it more like he had the winning 12 million dollar lottery ticket?

Maybe CMA was forced to make a promise during the hiring process:

If you'll just give me four years, I can guarantee that I'll take this ridiculous program that has never done absolutely shite on the national level and I'll turn it into a program that someone who is really into sports will actually recognize has a basketball program. I mean a fan that is really into sports.

A team that has fan support second to only the top basketball program in the history of sport, I will take that team and turn it into a perennial middle of the pack SEC team.


And....... I can guarantee...............


Let me say it again brothers...............


I can guarantee.................


If you pay me twelve million dollars over the coarse of four years......................


Through the magical powers invested in me by God, I will win a first round game in the NCAA tournament.


I'm not talkin bout no play in game mutherfukers.........

I'm talkin bout a legitimate beat down of a 12th seed or better team. Might even be a powerhouse team like Wofford.

Knowing that beating a team like Wofford in only four years of the lowly razorback rebuild would really be something that would put Arkansas Basketball back on the map......

obviously, Jeff Long started making all kinds of promises he couldn't back up.


Can you blame him?

With the magical season we had last year, finishing 2nd in the SEC with a breath taking five games out of first and getting into the top 32 teams in the entire country, we should have all recognized that an insignificant basketball program like the University of Arkansas would need to take three to four years to reload before we could start thinking about getting into the NCAA tournament.


Much less advancing.

I don't see why Anderson is to blame for all of this. There is only so much you can do as a coach to prevent these kind of things.

If it was something happening year after year, then yeah, there is something systemically wrong. But any coach/team can have things like this happen occasionally

Incoherent rambling?

You are just a few racial slurs away from being banned here just like you were on HiV when you melted down last season.

Dale Denton.
Talking shite about all the sunshine pumpers over at HiV.

You're the biggest hypocrite on this site.

You're biased when it comes to the subject of Razorback basketball so you should do the honorable thing and excuse yourself from further discussion about it while you still have a semblance of credibility.

I'm biased because I don't have a problem with last season, which was the best season the program has had since the mid-90s?

I'm biased because I don't have a program with progressing every year after the depths the program found and mired in under Pelphrey?

I'm biases because I realize there were larger problems with the program than wins and losses that were going to handcuff the HC for a few years no matter who the HC was?

Or am I biased because I won't carry a pitchfork alongside you for no logical or sound reason other than envy of salary? That is your cross to burn, not mine.

He is, his hate for Dale is strong.

FTFY

Why would I hate MA? All I care about is winning. I'm poking the bear that is Dale's constant excuse making. Do you disagree that coaches recruit their own problems? For instance, should MA have recruited a known grade risk?

But we probably don't have enough fan support or invest enough and that's why our team is going to suck balls.

So reason and knowledge = excuse making.

You should stick to the NBA, the college game is too complicated for you.

What does it matter? The same one bitching are the same ones who said he sucked and would never recover from injury when he committed.

You say all you care about is winning, but nothing Anderson will do will be a win for you, because you are unreasonable and have a hatred for the man that can not be explained by logic.

Sure you do and I'm sure you talk the same way towards them in person as you did on HiV when you were banned.

See, now this is where I have a problem with you.

You're a piece of shite that is talking out of your arse.

You know I got banned from HiV because I mentioned it on here the other day.

You obviously don't have a clue why I got banned based on your comment above so you're just taking a shot at it and assassinating my character at the same time.


I got banned while posting in the Political Forum for defending President Obama.

Dale, I could keep arguing with you on here but I don't keep hitting a guy once he's unconscious.

You were really looked up to on here and you still are. I'm a Razorback fan who cares about the Razorbacks more than I care about Mike Anderson, and that is why you are having conflict with me.

I haven't given up on Mike pulling things out of the fire, but it's not looking good right now, and everyone on here not named Dale is just acknowledging reality.

Maybe he can turn his recruiting around, he's still got time, but up to this point he has really sucked arse as a coach of the Arkansas Razorback basketball team.

WTF are you talking about? Explain yourself.

Your constant bitching about what you see as faults.

But Mike doesn't run the prinecton offense like the NBA does.

But Mike doesn't run pick and rolls like the NBA does.

But Mike doesn't do this and Mike doesn't do that.

Its easy to find faults when you do not understand what is being done, or trying to be done.

It is easy to constantly pick at the areas of weakness and ignore the areas of strength in any system/strategy in any sport. Which is what you have spent the majority of your time doing while here on the topic of basketball.

I give you the benefit of the doubt of ignorance of the topic, but really it comes down to you do not seem to like what Mike does or how he does it and especially how much he is paid to do it.

So it is a simple proposition, if Mike is so terrible at his job, tell us all who is available to replace Mike and do it better.

Its that simple.

Instead your response will be along the lines of its not your job, its Long's or something to that effect...
