Hearing there is a lot of non compliance being thrown at him with the expansion and company jet etc.

Probably a lot of moot stuff^ and it really coming down to the Bert stuff.

Apparently he tried to draw a line in the sand with Bert and the GOBN bent him over.

Ya, they are going to try to find every little small detail that helps build their case but I think we all know the biggest reason.

Long hitched his ride to CBB. He wouldn't fire him. He actually wanted to give Bert another season or two. The PTB said GFY and get outta here.

If Jeff gets his buyout, then everything else is just bullshite and he was fired because some people want to reassert control over the Athletic Department.

$25 million over budget without transparency on the expansion.

Again, grain of salt stuff but the guy texting me this said Long would be out within 24 hours yesterday. He was spot on with that bit.

Long fired for convenience

Or we're just rich and we want a clean break.

His buyout is peanuts anyway. What is it? Like a million? We gave that to nuttsack x3 10 years ago.

Does he get compensated for being on the CFP committee?

Hell, does he stay on the committee now that he has been sacked?

Nah...he’s got another gig lined up. This is definitely more about Long moving on than getting fired. Who couldn’t see the writing on the wall?

Bert showed improvement years 1-3 then everything went off track second half of year 4 ending with the calamity we have this year. JL believed in bielema but BB couldn’t live up to expectations. This is why JL is moving on.

This is just dumb and a loser mentality. Jeff serve at the pleasure of the board, why would the GOBN need to ‘reassert’ control. They just showed you and Jeffrey who runs this shite.

Don't forget Lindsey, Jones, and quite a few others. The state over all is pretty darn poor but there is no shortage of cash in some folks hands.
