Nothing confirmed unless you wish to stake things to the Scout.com-affiliated Arkansas site’s story.
Pittsburgh athletic director Jeff Long is expected to accept an offer from University of Arkansas Chancellor John White to be the school’s new athletic director, a university source told Hawgs Illustrated publisher Clay Henry on Friday night.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said White’s tight-lipped search to find Arkansas’ next athletic director has come to an end.
Long confirmed his interview, but not much else.
“I went to Arkansas and had a conversation with them about their athletic director’s position,” Long told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review before his radio show, “First and Long” aired on Fox Sports Radio 970 (WBGG-AM) prior to Pitt’s football game against Grambling State at Heinz Field. “We had a visit and really, beyond that, there isn’t much more to say.”
Right now, it’s up to Pitt to decide what they want to do. Even if Long hasn’t been offered by Arkansas, this is the last year of his contract and other schools are showing interest.
