Then the BoT are a bunch of idiots.
And the GOBN deserves every bit of scorn and ridicule that we get. A guy comes along who tries to elevate us beyond a bunch of freaking chicken, rice, and soy farmers and we fire him and depend on our inflated sense of importance to think we're going to land the coach of our dreams.
These guys are a bunch of freaking idiots.
I disagree with 100% of this. Primarily this is on Jeff Long.

bullshite. We have no idea what hire Jeff Long could or would have made. He got fired because a bunch of butthurt Eastern Arkansas rice farmers and Central Arkansas donors got pissed off that he'd dare pull games from Little Rock and join the freaking 21st Century of athletic programs. Now we rashly fired him, and we're left holding our dicks trying to hire both an AD and a head FB coach.
Newsflash: a lot of guys (not named Gus) would have loved to work for Jeff Long. He's built facilities like crazy for every program we have and completely enabled our coaches to do their jobs. It didn't work out with some of them, but we would have been much better positioned to hire a new coach (not named Gus) with some continuity at the AD position.
But.. the GOBN was convinced they could get rid of Long and land Gus. And they got played. Now we look like the simpleton, backwards organization we are.
