And? They were both botched hires.
Gottfried is not good enough for Arkansas

I'm not saying Gottfried would be a good hire, but he'd be on par with how your administration has done with its previous two hires.

That would be a solid hire, but he isn't leaving the Celts mid-season. If Pearl isn't fired until the summer that will be the hire most likely.

Past administration*

And if you knew anything about Arkansas, you would know that none of the people who made the last two hires are part of Arkansas athletics any longer.

Heath only had been a head college coach for 1 year when yall hired him. He just happened to have a great first year at Kent State winning 30 games and making it to the sweet 16.

I have a feeling we are going to throw the kitchen sink at some guys.
Posted on 3/13/11 at 2:22 pm to Al Bundy Bulldog
that's why i threw in "supposed to be". i just don't remember anyone questioning the wisdom of hiring a coach with practically no experience until a few years afterward, and all the talking head types thought he'd have things rolling once he got his recruits in, but then again i wasn't on the internet nearly as much.

here is a quote: "@DaveTelep Right now coaches across the country are searching for contact #s on Arkansas recruits, families and AAU coaches. Great class dismantled?"
This is illegal right?
A few points.
Those players would need a release first.
The elite coaches who were interested already made a run at these players.
Those same elite coaches are getting ready for the big dance, and I'm not worried about those left over.

Didn't Ky Madden come down to Arkansas and Ole Miss? I wouldn't be surprised if he reopens his recruitment.

Jeff Long comments. Wow. Per UA release: "it is clear that we have not made the progress over the last 4 years that is necessary to return Razorback Basketball to a place of national relevance.”

It was a political hire, replace Nolan with another black coach. Frank was told not to pay a white coach more than Nolan was making b/c of the lawsuit.

Jeff Longs Press Release
quote:
“After a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of our men’s basketball program, including an assessment of the overall student-athlete experience within our program, it is clear that we have not made the progress over the last four years that is necessary to return Razorback Basketball to a place of national relevance.” Long said. “As a program, our initial goals are to challenge for Southeastern Conference championships, compete in the NCAA Tournament and support our student-athletes in the pursuit of a degree. Our program’s tradition demonstrates those goals are certainly attainable at the University of Arkansas.
"I want to thank John and his staff for their hard work and dedication to the Razorback program. I am appreciative of their efforts on behalf of the University of Arkansas."
Pelphrey was hired as the University of Arkansas’ men’s basketball coach on April 9, 2007. In his first season, Pelphrey led the Razorbacks to a 23-12 record, 9-7 in the SEC, and earned a berth in the SEC Tournament championship game and a win over Indiana in the first round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament. In 2009, Arkansas finished the season 14-16 including a 2-14 mark in SEC play. Arkansas posted a 14-18 record in 2010 including a 7-9 conference record. The 2011 season marked the third-straight season without the Razorbacks earning a post-season tournament berth.
The University of Arkansas recently completed its 88th season on men’s basketball. The Razorbacks won the 1994 NCAA Championship and earned a national runner-up finish in 1995. Arkansas has advanced to a total of six NCAA Final Fours, made 10 NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances and won 40 NCAA Tournament victories. The Razorbacks have won 24 conference championships (22 SWC, 2 SEC), four SEC divisional championships and seven conference tournament championships (6 SWC, 1 SEC).
“The University of Arkansas has a proud tradition in basketball including playing in one of college basketball’s best arenas, Bud Walton Arena, and in front of the nation’s most passionate fans,” Long said. “It is because of this passion that we seek to elevate our program on and off the court.”
