re: OFFICIAL Arkansas Coaching Search Thread

As it relates to the timing of Long's raise and extension, do you not think that bodes well for a hire we'll be happy with? I mean, it would seem frickng CRAZY to me that he would receive a raise and extension right before the biggest hire in school history - IF no one had already seen where we'd at least gotten someone to agree in principle to become our next head coach?

If we gave him a raise and then he proceeded to completely botch this hire Gearhardt would have some serious questions to answer. I just think that whoever made the decision to lock Long up for a while and increase his compensation has seen/heard in person that we've hit a homerun and that the school/fans/players will be very happy with the news.

It just doesn't make sense any other way...
