If he goes, it will make traveling up to Winston-Salem a lot easier for most ACC teams. He is a great coach, and I wouldn't mind seeing him leave the ACC.

Wow, the Arkansas Alums must be going nuts. Poor Jeff Long, I bet he regrets taking that AD job now. How long do you think he keeps his job after this?

2 things that make the NCAA a joke.
1. BCS
2. Allowing the coaches to jump from school to school and just about blackmail the Universities yet when a kid wants to transfer for legit reasons he must sit out a year. Or when a guy like Bloom from Colorado is a legit pro in another sport, they dont allow him to make any money without losing eligibility.

The hottest coach available for the 2009 season will be Bobby Petrino.

Jeff Long has a history of screwing up the coaching process. It gets out to the media who he is after, offers a job, and has it blow up in his face. He totally botched the Pitt basketball search. He thought he had S.Prosser and paraded him all over with out getting the final committmen. Prosser then went back to Wake Forrest and was given a large raise. Than it was Calaparri and others. He finally had to offer the job to Jamie Dixon because he knew he would take it. It has worked out fine because Dixon is an excellent recruiter and coach but Long still botched the situation.
