Long Gone, now what?

[seeker]

I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other about Long. I think he has done a reasonable job as AD. Sure his hire of Bielema has not turned out well but at the time many praised him for a good find. My concern currently though is timing. We all know the football coach will be gone soon as well. But I think the first order of business will be replacing the AD, then that AD will be tasked with finding a new football coach. This will take a lot more time than just finding a coach alone and will put us behind the many other programs that will be searching for new coaches as well. It just adds to the level of frustration building through the year. All I can do is hope for the best for my beloved Hogs!

I agree. It always sounded like he was doing a good job though some people never seemed to forgive him from being a Yankee. He hired two good football coaches that no one really thought were available and neither worked out. Will any football coach really work out at Arkansas? Hopefully, but it’s not an easy place to win staying clean.

I agree that if you are going to can Long then now is the time – get a new guy or gal in these next couple of weeks, fire CBB after Thanksgiving, and focus on getting a new coach. It’s a horrible year to be looking for a coach, unfortunately. I have a bad feeling about this.

John L Smith is still out there somewhere. He could probably do either job, maybe both.
