It seems that A) by leaking Chavis to Arkansas and B) by leaking that he is actually already working as a U of A employee, we may have left ourselves in a difficult negotiating position with A&M with respect to Chavis' buyout.

If I was A&M, I would be saying we want to "promote" Chavis to "quality director of operations" or some such BS. Our only choices are to pay Chavis' buyout to A&M (for a coach they were going to let go), or walk away. Either way, it looks bad for us. We have no leverage.

Or maybe I have no idea what I am talking about. Anybody got any insight? Something has clearly delayed the formal announcement.

The whole coaching staff process has been an absolute disaster, there's no other way to say it.

Time will tell on the new guy, but Frank was the last guy in that office who actually had the program's best interests in mind.

Long cared about nothing but self-promotion.

Yup, Long got shite canned by the GOBN.

GOBN wanted Gus and an Arkansas AD, Coup got dick smacked by JCP.

Laying in wait for a DC that Coach red bull said would be the best..
