He has a firm understanding of what it takes for Arkansas to succeed in sports. And he would be an excellent fundraiser.

If I'm connecting the dots properly in all this there is some much bigger bullshite going on behind the scenes than just having a shitty football program.

Bielema may be gone too. Like today


This is all speculation of course, we'll find out sooner or later what caused this.

If I had to make a bet I'd suggest the donors have been unhappy with how Long has spent their money, and he's gotten a lot from them, and his sticking by Bielema didn't help. Nobody that has dropped the kind of cash these folks have dropped would be thrilled about expanding the stadium with it being half empty now.

This is now also starting to be talked about.

Enos as an intern.

I want Rhoads gone with Bret.

Bert will be here until December 1. No point in firing him and paying an extra 3 million or whatever. Lame duck is what it is

Wow...from AD of an SEC school and recent playoff committee chairman to the unemployment line. Talk about a short walk from the penthouse to the outhouse. This should erase any doubts about Bert’s future. I wouldn’t buy any green bananas if I were him.

I'm prepared to see how Rhoads does without Bielema looking over his shoulder. There are only two games left so he might as well get a chance to show if he can do better without Bielema lurking nearby.

That's the truth. I fully expect to hate about 1/2 our fanbase in the next few months.

What?

If anything this points to Bert getting fired.

I became a fan when I moved to Arkansas in 2011. I remember that day listening to sports talk when the Bobby shite happened.

This is different. This is big money and the desire to win. Not saying shite didn't happen but this happening I tend to think ppl had enough and we will get who we want. We will be alright.

We have already met with him. We told him he needs to win out for a valid chance. So far he is taking care of business.

Which is why I don't understand the Long move unless we flat out said I'm not letting Bret go.

Which I think is a good guess at this point with many rumors flying around.

Maybe Gus won’t work for Jeff Long. Jimmy Sexton gets his demands met and this is why he represents most SEC coaches and why our league pays coaches the most.

If Gus goes to Arky, Aub hires Muschamp. Guaranteed.

Pretty sure they're pissed off for a variety of reasons and shitty football is the straw that broke the camel's back.

The University has had to pay millions of dollars out to keep themselves out of court at least twice under Long's watch. Couple that with disassociating with the big boosters and (POSSIBLY) pinching money (???).

Eh. This thing could get ugly ugly
