I am a huge Arkansas football fan and am hearing rumblings that Long is interviewing today to replace Frank Broyles as AD at Arkansas. This would be a big blow to Pitt as I think he has done a very good job in his 2.5 year term with both the football and basketball programs. Nothing is finalized, but this appears to be a definite possibility.

That would be huge. Broyles is the man and Long would be great addition to the Razorbacks.
BTW good to see another Arkansas football fan on here.

Wannstadt has been a disaster. The basketball program was already established before Long was in charge. But yeah, if that's a very good job...

Athletic directors are evaluated not just on W/L records, but how they handle infrastructure, building financial support, and generally running the day to day operations of a $35 million company. If Long has done that well, he's definitely going to be in consideration.

That said, I was responding to the original post which said he had done well in those two sports at Pitt. There was nothing to do with basketball -- great coached already selected, new arena built, and football has been awful. |

Glad they didn't get TDP from Clemson who was apparently their first choice for a while until he said no.
