So Les is involved in a conspiracy with Arky to help ensure they get the best coach at the lowest price. Forest, trees, etc.
Yeah, he wouldn't benefit at all. Nope. $$$$$

Of course not. Like I said, this was a negotiating tactic. It was important for Long to get that 5years/$27million out in the public space attached to a certain resume profile: conference championships, national titles. In a matter of weeks Arkansas went from being the only opening in the SEC to having to compete with UT & AU. He had to get that number out there. Sorry Kentucky, this is a big boy coaching search.
The "offer" was nothing more than bouncing a number off of Les to set the bar for what candidates could expect based on their resume profile.
Basically,Long: "Hey Les, if I offered you $27 million for 5 years would you be interested?"
Les: "You bet. But i'm not interested."
