This is so ridiculous.

Firing the AD right before a coaching search and having a committee handle it is asking for/guaranteeing a fiasco.

I’m sure they think they have Malzahn lined up. He is clearly the first/only choice for a core, cultish group.

If he is hired we will end up right back in the drama. It follows him everywhere for a reason.

I’ve supported the UA all my life, and I agree that Bielema has to be fired, but the handling of this reeks. Long didn’t deserve to be fired based upon what we know.

And, handling it this way makes an already difficult situation much worse.

Sad state of affairs with the timing.

the timing was strategic
they have their man waiting in the wings
it is the only thing that makes any kind of sense

i do not know what is going on behind those closed doors
but
i am thinking the wait will be short

Long did a lot of good things and i am stunned that this has happened

I’ve used that logic before and seen us hire HDN and Jim Grobe (before he backed out).
