      <![CDATA[The more I think about this the better I like it.  At first people wanted McGee to come back since he was familiar with the system.  But McGee didn't have head coaching experience.  Then the message boards went crazy with what-ifs culminating in former NFL coach John Gruden whose interest seems to have stemmed from 2 Twitter posts by John Daly.  Now we get someone with head coaching experience that is also familiar with the pieces in place.  We could take a recruiting hit down the road, but this keeps the wheels on.

I hope Weber State doesn't get too burned.  I'm sure there are lots of small-conference schools out there wiping the sweat from their brows.<br>

Note to Weber State: Houston Nutt does exceptionally well with teams he didn't recruit. ;)

      <![CDATA[I think it's a very smart move by Long. A true caretaker/interim with local knowledge and head coaching experience, but avoids the situation of having one of the current assistants becoming interim head coach, the team having a great year, and then Long is boxed in to promoting him to permanent status.

      <![CDATA[A good caretaker for 10 months with the one thing all the current assistants lacked -- experience at running the whole shebang, including media, discipline and gameday decisions. <br>
<br>
He also likely has something no other outside hiree would have -- a knowledge of and belief in the current system.  That should avoid upsetting the chemistry.<br>

      <![CDATA[Me too perplexed, you nailed it. When Long hired Petrino, that was out of left field; he was someone that most had not even considered.  Now Long has done it again; didn't see Smith's name on any sports blog or sports media! <br>
<br>
Don't remember any specific comments during his tenure but always a positive vibe due to his special teams performance.  The more I think about it the more I like it.

      <![CDATA[Agree 100% Perplexed.  A solid choice which keeps the players and coaches together for a big run next fall and gives Long time to find the right permanent choice. Hats off to Long for another great decision.

      <![CDATA[I read the Wiki entry.  Might be a really great choice.  Might be a great way for Smith to end his career, thus his willingness to take the one-year commitment.  Has experience with strong quarterbacks, spread offense, head coaching.  His Michigan State experience gives pause, but he knows all the Razorback assistants.<br>
<br>
I think it's a win-win.  Promoting from within in these circumstances puts way too much pressure on the one being promoted, especially, if you want to consider that person for the permanent gig.  Keep those guys around this year, do a national search, and then you can give each of them an appropriate shot to be considered under a more "normal" scenario.<br>
<br>
While I'm not ready to beatify Jeff Long, I do believe he's made another solid decision.  And I really like his creativity.  In a way, he stayed inside while still going outside.

      <![CDATA[A curious choice that will be spun to a fine line. Short-term wisdom, perhaps long-term folly.<br>
<br>
For many of the rabid Hog fans, the prevailing sentiment will likely be, in the words of O. Henry himself: "I am furious."

      <![CDATA[Guess a preseason top 5 team isn't the draw that some thought it would be.  Trying to figure out why Long practiced all this secrecy just to keep this from getting out.  I mean, what would it have hurt to leak Smith's name a week ago?
