Jeff Long will not return as the Arkansas athletics director, according to multiple media reports and confirmed by SI.com's Bruce Feldman.

Long has been the AD at Arkansas since 2008 taking over from legendary figure Frank Broyles and previously headed the athletic department at Pittsburgh.

Long's contract is set to on June 30.

During Long's tenure at the school, he hired Bobby Petrino after his less than year–long stint with the Atlanta Falcons.

Petrino was fired four years later after lying about his relationship with a staffer after a motorcycle accident.

Long then hired current coach Bret Bielema in 2013.
