Who is Arkansas's Backup Plan Now That Les Miles ...

  • has turned yall down?

    Will Arkansas fans truly except a coach that is hired now, knowing that Les Miles was higher on the board than him? Arkansas fans love to make fun of Les but now its like the biggest egg in the face for "The Flagship"

    Let the 'tard OP believe that we actually wanted Les' goofy tail. Nobody thought he would go to Arkansas. Dude played the AD for a raise and extension.

    What are you talking about? What part of your AD offered Miles a deal and he turned yall down do some of yall dont get.
    Some of you fans might not of liked it but your AD and Administration greenlighted the talks to Ole Les.

    LSU just got 10 wins from Miles for the 6th time and hes produced a 85-20 record while he's been here. What makes you think he wasnt getting a raise anyways.

  • Les was never coming here. Our AD, Jeff Long, and Miles are friends. Jerry Jones and Les are good friends.

    Jones was the one who put the offer together. It helped a friend get a raise and extension. Jones did this on his own without the knowledge of our BOTs. Long caught wind, said wtf, and called an "emergency" conference call with the big donors to approve of such an offer/contract to Miles.

    Les actually considered leaving due to his relationship with Long and Jones; however, he wisely stayed in Baton Rouge.

  • Miles said today in the press conference that he had the conversation with Long and that he had not spoken to Jerry Jones about anything with Arkansas. Why would Miles deny talking to a friend and Arkansas donor that would cause no harm in doing so?

    None of this will matter in a few weeks though because Arkansas will hire someone and declare that he was their first and only choice, just to save face with the fans, but in reality had to go through several no's until they got a bite.

    Coaches lie. They're just like politicians. Always covering their tails.

    Jimbo Fisher said on the 26th that Stoops had not interviewed for the Kentucky job.

    Stoops was hired on the 27th.

    Coaches are human. They lie.
