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


You're glad because he got fired because he didn't know about a hire's prior sexual harassment because he did fire a coach who he knew was guilty of sexual harassment and covering it up? Kind of ironic. He had to fire Petrino. He didn't know about Miles past.

Tuberville turned down Arky the year before he accepted the AU job. Good 'ol boys. Holtz left.

Frank Broyles was going to hire Tuberville. But the chacellor John White at the time decided to have a committee of former players instead do the hiring. All of them except one voted for Nutt. That person was finally persuaded to vote for Nutt which made it unanimous.

He didn't leave. He was fired. He didn't take advantage of what Broyles left him after the 1977 season. He steadily got worse each year. It didn't help that he supported a senator that had KKK connections. The school told him to stay away from politics but he ignored the warning. He ran his mouth and quit at the end.

Yes Hatfield did leave but left Arkansas in a mess.

Jimmy Johnson would have been a good hire but we would be the next Oklahoma and be put on major probation in the 90s. That would have ruined Frank Broyles. So Hatfield was the safe pick.

We needed a strong AD that would have been able to negotiate the needs of the good ole boys like Jerry. Jeff Long was weak and the results showed.

I'm hoping Hunter Yuracheck can grow into that kind of role. His basketball and football hirings look promising.

He knew a bout Miles and certainly the ordeal with Petrino. He loves to play stupid when it gets heated. But he knows very well what went on.

This is the same dude that had stripper poles with guns shooting fake money into the audience. Snoop dog had girls on stripper poles on a court during a basketball game.

When the heat was on him, Long put the blame on Snoop Dog and said it was his idea. But snoop called him a liar and said it was his idea from the start.

Ole Miss sure as shite wouldn’t have fired a coach that won 10 then 11 games in back to back years.

It would never go public. And if it did then Petrino would be suspended for a number of games without pay. He would make an apology and not a big deal would come out of it.

The problem with Petrino isn't that he had a sidepiece; it's that he got that sidepiece a job.

Every school in the country would have fired Petrino. He's a PRICK.

Good. The next AD should be in place to hire the new basketball coach.

Every college coach is a prick. Petrino was just the scapegoat.

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


If the NCAA treated the KU basketball program like they treated the MU football program for tutoring violations they could go ahead and shutter the damn school.

Someone said that you couldn’t frick up Kansas football worse than it already was. Jeff Long said, “Hold my beer.”

I don’t think there has ever been an athletic director that was more consistently a frick up across the board at several different schools than this frick nut.

The worst of all is that he raked in millions from both schools. Now he can live large and not work a day in his life while Arkansas and Kansas are suffering from death penalty like situations.

Jeff has to be annoyed as hell that he let Les Miles bring him down.
