But oh no he fired Petrino so he sucks

The Long hate is foolish, plain and simple. He had no choice but to fire Petrino. BP hiring his mistress for a job that reported directly to him laid Arkansas wide open to lawsuits from the other candidates from the job.

Not only that, suppose the affair ended badly, and she threatened to blackmail both the coach and the university...Long was put in an impossible position by Petrino. There was nothing else for him to do.

Arkansas's facilities are fantastic, and Long played a big role in that, and in future upgrades.
