This was posted on 247 tonight by some guy. Who knows if it's legit or not.
This is a guy who is as wired in as wired in gets. Is on a first name basis with every significant person in the state of Arkansas since about 1970. Watched the LSU game from the chancellors box. Works for a BOT. Knows all of them.
We talked about the coaching search at length. And he doesn't know any more than u could glean off the Internet. He has heard all the rumors, and all of them - including gruden, Peterson, gundy and Patterson- are talked about among the people he talks to. He heard from some of gearharts people an announcement in 2/3 days but heard from others it may be a couple weeks.
My source isn't happy about not knowing - and there are people on the BOT who give millions of dollars and don't know and they aren't happy either but that's how this search is rolling. And that may very well be for the best.Point of story. Long isn't talking. He isn't talking to the. BOT. Or at least not the full board.
This is all long and all locked down.People who "should know" don't really know.If this leaks it will be from the other end.
My advice - take everything with a grain of salt. Even the most wired in people in this state don't REALLY know.

After reading people's posts and hearing what people say on radio, Internet, papers, and TV I am positive of 3 things.
1. There is a lot of overvaluing of the position based on being in SEC.
2. Long is confident and has total trust of Chancellor and President.
3. Whoever the hire will be, people won't be happy because it was not X. Which goes back to point 1.
Long I truly believe will make best available hire as he's done last two times.
ETA: I'm sticking with Chud and Schotty still.
