2 sources very close to Jeff Long have said that Long has been turned down 6 times, and is now to his "b" list, which includes Dykes, Briles, Smart, and Taggart. The board of trustees is pissed right now and is wanting to step in. If they have to step in then expect Davis, with a few of them still on the Malzahn wagon. However, since the board is appointed by the governor they don't want to piss him off since he is an ASU guy.

This comes from a very reliable source. I hope I'm wrong with all of this.

Briles is on the B list? I think he would be a really good hire.

I still think its going to be Briles and he will turn out to be a really good coach for you guys.

Don't worry, you are. Your source is probably laughing with his buddies saying 'look what I got this guy to post on TD.'

makes a lot of sense. Ark's search shouldn't have gone past the SECCG unless they were hiring Saban or Richt. now the pressure is higher and the candidates are getting weaker. Briles would be a good fit but not Kirby. Ark wins w/ offense. Their talent pool can't staff the defense like Alabama and LSU. it's a tough situation.... but still better than Auburn w/ the NCAA and the Sabanator just down the road.

Been hearing it was Davis for a while now. I get the alum angle, but I would have thought the baggage from UNC would be too much.

Good luck with that.

Either of these would be good hires with a strong Defensive Coord.

frick that

If it's true then Long can go frick himself. I've always been one to support him but he has no room to botch this hire

Oh and

This is by far the most believable rumor reported by a hog fan on this board.

It's the fourth or fifth best job in the West. Certainly better than Ole Miss and State. This can't be a shocker to anyone that's being honest with themselves.
