Question for the board

  • Pretty simple one: Who do you want to be the next head coach of the Razorbacks, and who do you think will be the next head coach?

    R Turbeville

  • It will be an unexpected hire. And a good one. I trust Long and I love that he plays everything close to the vest.

  • Gruden would be the name where you get the wow factor, and he might come in and try to keep the coaching staff somewhat in tact....but i think Garrick Mcgee will be the coach. If we try for someone else they will bring in their own staff and change offense and defensive schemes. In my opinion that would hurt us next year big time.

  • I like McGee or Paul Petrino.
    I think the system will work fine without Bobby running it.

  • I AM SCARED TOO DEATH HONESTLY! Just remembering the crappy other options during the BP hire. If not Garrick then I say Kirby Smart and he keeps the entire offensiive staff in tact.

    I agree.

    I never thought, after BP signed the big contract, that we would ever have a conversation like this until the day he retired. In my mind, the field would be named Bobby Petrino field, and we'd have a National title.

    I have to admit, I am scared stiff at the thought of where this search could end up.

    We are not the same school we were back then. We have an established AD(Long was new at the time) We have a $40 Million football facility under construction, we have talent (can win now), and we have proven you can win at a high level.

  • Tennessee fan... i come in peace.... I think you guys should promote someone from within the program and keep the coaching staff intact....

    you guys have good coaches and a good system and are a conference championshup and NC contenders next year, IMO.... Don't see why you want to mess with the pre existing chemistry...... also, it is difficult to siwtch systems after spring practice.....

    I think your best move is to promote an assistant and re-evaluate the search for a new coach after the season..... I don't see any benefit from hiring a new head coach and potentially new assistants this late in the year.... I think you guys have competent coaches in place that run a system that works well....

    Good luck and beat Bama!!!!

    i despise trolls on other people's boards... i feel like you should be respectful if you are a visitor.... Our board is slow tonight, so i thought i would stop by.... Being able to go on other team's boards is one of the benefits of 247, IMO.....

    I was just thinking about it earlier and i don't see the need for you guys to hire a new HC in mid april.... You have veteran team and a veteran staff that has a history of success together.... Why mess it up now???

    I say play it out on the field and re-evaluate where you guys are in terms of a long term HC after the season.....

    That's what I would like as well. I have been thinking and I came to the conclusion that Long is looking for the home run hire right now. I feel like he is looking for that Gruden, Patterson, Peterson, ect.. type hire right now, but if he doesn't get that he may go with Garrick McGee (basically an in-staff hire).

    If McGee were to get it then I would be curious to see where that leads to after the season, I wonder if Long will hire for the long or the short term? I am very uncertain about this, because of how talented this team is, if McGee (pretending he get the job) does well, and with as much talent as is going to be on this team it will hard to screw up, then what will we say? Will it be because McGee did good or because the team was so talented?

    This coaching search is not going to go the way many want it to, I feel, but It is not domed, because there are some good choices out there, however we are certainly not in the greatest situation. Jeff Long has done nothing, but make great decisions, in both the moral and business departments and I have confidence in him that he will make the best possible decision for Razorback Nation in the long-run.
