As the details of the Billy-G-Arkansas saga surface, it is obvious that $Bill Byrne played it perfectly. First he "did not return Broyles’ (Arkansas AD) calls for the first three days of the search." Byrne used that time to finalize the details of the A&M offer. However, it is common courtesy to give other schools access to coaches, so $Bill did just that. At "10 a.m. today [Byrne] gave Broyles permission to talk to Gillispie, then called back around noon to say Gillispie had told A&M officials he is staying put", giving Broyles just two hours to contact Gillispie. So, as you can imagine, "no official job offer was ever made". I love it. Great job $Bill.
