More Miles fallout. Thought we would have some happy campers on the board to hear this news about Long.

Is Joe Alleva currently employed or will his firing be purely ceremonial? Don't y'all have a new school president too? I bet the old one is shitting his pants right now.

Why do Arkansas fans dislike Long?

From what I've gathered Alleva wanted to fire Miles in 2013 and was basically told that they didn't have enough to fire him with cause. F. King Alexander is the former president and he probably has Hersheys in his undies right about now.

He destroyed Arkansas football.

Fired Petrino after going 21-5 in 2010 and 2011 when no other SEC school would have.

Because he's a self-righteous douche who wasn't committed to winning and only cared about his image

Don’t really get how this is Jeff Long’s fault. None of this was public until last Thursday and they acted quickly.

Good. frick Jeff Long. Single handedly destroyed the football program by firing Petrino, then hired a known overweight lazy alcoholic that wrote him a love letter, instead of actually doing the research and finding the right fit for Arkansas.

I guess if you're going to trumpet the "high road" you'd better make sure there ain't any potholes in that mfer.

Here as an article about how Long may have known about Miles...

LINK

I heard someone say that Miles' attorney said that Long knew about it, but I haven't seen that for myself.

Because they fired that sociopath, Perrino. No other reason.

Here are the Mr. Integrity hires after Petrino. I'm sure I'm missing more but these are the ones at the top of my head.

Because he fired Petrino when other schools would have given him a slap on the wrist instead. Other schools have fired coaches for doing worse.

Didn't Petrino hire and subsequently promote his mistress? From what I recall that is what got him fired, not the motorcycle wreck where he crashed his face into her boyfriend's fist 16 times in a row.
