I smell racism, btw. Not surprising at all, considering it's Arky.
I am not necessarily disagreeing with you, but they both had something to offer each other during negotiations. It is really hard to say if Long throws down and beats Bama and LSU, AND gets in the title game that he is not considered the full time guy. It again would place Long in a difficult situation to fire a guy who just won arky a title. Of course this means little as I don't see any of that happening, just wanted to point out if he should win it all. Has a head football coach ever been fired right after winning a title?
The most likely scenario is that Arkansas wins 8-10 games and a new coach is brought in in December and retains/hires staff as he wishes.
But if its 11+ wins? IMO, no matter what JLS is not retained. If somehow that happened, he would've done an excellent job staying out of the way of a talented team and good coordinators. But he would've had very little to do with getting the team to that point. Arkansas has its work cut out for us, and an old, figurehead, CEO type coach won't cut it over the long term. Its not an easy program to win at.
If that happens, I think he rides out into the sunset a winner, and one of the coordinators is promoted in an attept to keep things going. And to be honest, I think that's all JLS wants. As he said in the linked Pat Forde article below, reagrding his last three years at MSU soured his long career, "I always said to myself, 'That's not the way I'm going to go out,' " Smith said. "I want a chance again. I'm going to write this ending differently."

Here is the USA Today write up on Johnelle

and here is the more detailed backstory by the Lansing writer

Arky might be alright with only a one season stint with JLS, but he is a very quirky guy. You can read the comments on the second link to get a flavor the the no love lost by MSU fans for the Johnelle era.
In retrospect, I think Petrino should have fought this thing. One look at the photo below, and who could argue it wasn't entrapment on the school's part?

yeah but lots of dudes would totally turn it down. no one would like to be blasting that from behind with that ponytail in your hands.
Born Burnt please calibrate your sarcasm meter. My post was mocking people that were like "hey, even if you are a fat 50 year old you should be able to show restraint and not tap that". Everyone with an opportunity is tapping that.
Yep! Also like "I can not pursue the pussy, but if pussy chases me, I cain't run that fast" - CR
Just saw Petrino agreed to first interview with ESPN...will air today on sportscenter
Just amazing what a piece of snatch will make a man do.
Dear lord. I think even less of him now.I have played it over and over in my head a million times. How could I do this? How could this happen? And not just the hiring. Or that day. But my actions, my behavior -- for months it was just wrong.
That's a $21 million piece of pussy?
Please...I am only a little older than that $#@! it didn't take some lucky charms magically delicious pussy to trap his ass. She was young, shapely and paid attention to him. His $#@! got hard and told his brain to $#@! off. He knew seconds after he came "damn...$#@!ed up". But it was like crack and he couldn't turn it down. After that he thought, $#@! I can pull this off, creating a bigger and bigger fantasy on how he could control the situation.
There are people whose mental processes are not as good as those of most other people.
The discovery of "gray matter" in the various nerve plexi give credibility to the ideas of "knowing in my heart", "having a gut feeling", and "his $#@! was doing all his thinking"... maybe ol' Bobby's $#@! is just a little bit on the dumb side.
I ain't sayin', I'm just sayin'.

Meh. Don't cheat on your wife and $#@! like this doesn't happen. Still believe Long made the right decision, no matter how good of a team you left and how much you cry on ESPN.
Loathsome. He's sorry because he got caught.
I guarantee Jerry Sandusky will have the same apology in his interview from prison.

Spurrier better keep it in his pants.
Jessica Dorrell – the 25-year-old blonde bombshell whose affair with former Arkansas head football coach Bobby Petrino exploded onto the national scene back in April – is reportedly headed to Columbia, S.C.
According to our sources, Dorrell’s fiance Josh Morgan – the former operations director for Arkansas’ swimming and diving program – has been hired as the new strength and conditioning coach for the University of South Carolina men’s and women’s swimming programs. In fact Morgan and Dorrell were said to have been in Columbia, S.C. last weekend being feted by a group of “very wealthy USC donors.”
Morgan’s hiring has yet to be announced by the USC athletics department and calls to a school spokesman were not immediately returned.
Other sources close to the USC athletics department claim that Morgan is merely being “considered” for the post.

Well, after reading that they are still together I retract my previous post. Apparently she does have a magically delicious pussy. So Petrino is in the clear, it was not his fault.
Rumble, how has Lattimore returned from the knee? You hearing good things?
As expected, Piggy coach files for bankruptcy. He's only an interim coach for now, maybe they want Sandusky next.
