Arkansas AD Yurachek showing faith in old staff

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Razorbacks Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek isn't cleaning house.

Far from it.

Yurachek, hired Dec. 4 from the University of Houston after Jeff Long was fired, announced some restructuring of duties within the athletic department Thursday, but he has not dismissed nor demoted any administrators.

"I've taken my time first and foremost, and one of the things that I noticed early on is that my predecessor did a great job hiring great people," Yurachek said. "I think they've bought into the direction that the department is heading now."

Long, recently hired as the athletic director at Kansas, had the same role at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville for 10 years.
