The selfishness, and disrespect required to pull off this move at this time - with State's staff and football team set to play Auburn this week - is something I'll never forget, because I've never seen anything like it.
A new low for the SEC.

Good.
Giving the A.D. a clean slate when he enters the office was/is a good idea.

Roberts has the support of the people that matter.

Roberts has been playing Chess... He also went after the Arkie AD and offered 2 Million.
Auburn University offered Hunter Yurachek $2 million to fill its vacant athletic director position, but the University of Arkansas seems to have succeeded in keeping him with a raise and another contract extension.
University of Arkansas System spokesman Nate Hinkel said Monday that he could not confirm the details of the offer that were provided to Arkansas Business by a knowledgeable source who was granted anonymity. But, Hinkel said in an email, "I am confirming that an offer was made and that as a result, recent negotiations have taken place to retain Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek."
In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, he provided an email from Thursday in which UA System President Donald Bobbitt outlined to the UA's Interim Chancellor Charles Robinson the details of a new five-year contract for Yurachek starting Jan. 1 in which his annual salary would be raised from $1.25 million to $1.5 million with deferred compensation of $250,000 from private funds.
According to Bobbitt's email:
Not exactly Tuberville/Malzahn-level blackmail in reverse (re: AU/Arky), but at least the trend was finally REVERSED.

Wow. This is telling IMHO. He interviewed Prime before giving the job to Pittman and has told lots of people just how impressed he was with him.

"Him" who? Prime?

Yep, Prime.
He was very close to getting the Arkansas job.

To me it seems that he did not want the new AD's first order of business to be firing someone.
This is correct. He wanted to have the coach, and others, gone before the new AD arrived. New AD can work on finding the next coach without all the other drama.
