So, I believe he is now out of the picture as OC.
Why? Because 2 SEC offensive coordinator spots are about to be open and I think he is on the short list for at least one of them.
Steve Sarkisian is likely to get his shot at redemption as HC of Mississippi State and some feel Long will be his guy as OC; but that also leaves the OC position at Alabama open.
We will see if Bama goes that direction, but Long appears to be off the board for Oregon - and maybe the Huskies as well.
