I had heard of Jeff Long when he moved from the University of Pittsburg to the Southeastern Conference at Arkansas. I did not think much about Long at the time. He did some outstanding things with the Razorback football program. A very talented but very selfish football coach ruined what Long accomplished in Fayetteville.
On that that fateful day in April of 2012, Bobby Petrino took his girlfriend for a motorcycle ride. The crash, lies and embarrassment took a heavy toll on a lot of people. Long had no choice but to fire Petrino. I felt badly for Long.
