Seems they have since september to get their ducks in a row and are basically not getting anything done.

Do Arky fans actually think their AD can get a big name to their school or is it going to be underwhelming.

Im not trying to down your school but yall are just not one of those desirable schools coaches flock to. I know yall have the money but most of these coaches already have that money.

They've had 6 months to look for a coach. Not looking good.

Do you realize our top candidates are still coaching games this weekend?

Not worried at all. I'm sure there are some who are worried, but I trust our AD.

Miles and our future HC have the same agent and we rubbed his back.

It's really interesting to me that they haven't hired anybody yet.

I don't think it's that they can't make a good hire, it's that they're really out there shaking the trees trying to hire someone that might be above their heads right now..and by that I don't mean that there is no value in the Arkansas program, I just mean they're going after guys who'd be silly to leave the job they're currently at.

You do know that there is still a week left in the season right? Most of the coaches that us, Tennessee and Auburn are after are coaching this weekend. Long has said all along and reiterated on Sunday that we wont make a hire until after he season is over. He specifically said 10-14 days after this past Sunday. I'm not sure where all of this sky is falling stuff is coming from personally.

Les leveraged a job opening into a raise. Sounds like a bigger problem for LSU to me.

Nope, Mike Gundy still has a game to play this weekend. He'll be announced by Wednesday.

no, we're not even close to panic mode- or the sane people aren't anyway.

we're listed as the #2 most desirable opening right now, pretty sure we'll come out with someone good. i didn't want les (nor do i know any hog fan who did) so certainly todays news didn't make us panic.

Name somebody who has been sitting around since September (or April) that we would want to hire.

Someone's gonna get Butch Jones and it'll be a great hire, I'd think he'll be a bargain right now with UC not getting a realignment home. He's Brian Kelly markII.

Clearly. It appears they were "all in" on the John L Smith experiment.

It's pretty clear at this point that Malzahn will be the next HC. He will be hired within the next 10-14 days.

I think you are falling victim to the Smoke Screen...Long has already communicated a date a coach will be named.

No, they are not in panic mode. They are delusional. Take a look at all of the "Jeff Long just trolled the shite out of LSU" threads.

They truly believe that Jeff Long has this grand scheme of smoke screens and troll jobs to "keep the heat of the real guy".

They are completely delusional. LSU has one hell of a dysfunctional fan base for sure. And we definitely filter over into the delusional arena every once in a while for a ride on the bull BigCrazy. But poor old Arky has put it on a new level completely.

Once they start talking about Houston Nutt, then you know they're in panic mode. Right now, they are partying down on Stupid Street.
