Can't see Uark go hiring any controversial coach after what they've been through with the past 2 coaches.
WTF do you think John L. Smith is? Look him up. Maybe not "controversial", but definitely not a standup guy nevertheless.
Because of the short love affair with his alma mater? Or, are you referring to something else. Just looking up JLS isn't specific enough to clarify what you are saying here. A little help?
Weber State? So he takes a head coaching gig at his alma mater, then ditches their ass for more money before ever even coaching one game? Does the spring game count? No integrity. What a sheisty little bastard. Louisville? Ummm....yeah. Michigan State? Nobody seems to remember when his spartan players found out DURING the game (on national tv) that he was leaving after he was telling them he was staying (sounds like saban), then they quit on his ass in the middle of the game. How do his former players view him? I've been up since 5am and I'm too lazy to google the shit. Arkansas' judgement of character when hiring football coaches sucks major bunghole. The tree don't fall far from the NUTTS.
I had forgotten about Michigan State. Louisville? He left that program in better shape than he found it if I recall correctly. (According to the staff hired after Petrino left UL, he left that program in total disarray. I wonder if he's done the same in Fayetteville. I don't think the 2012 season answers that question.) As to his departure from Weber State? With the chance to coach a team, as HC, into a BCS game and possibly more? I don't know if there are many coaches that would not have made the same move. It certainly isn't pretty, but I can see a coach thinking along those lines.
It seems that some may not question the integrity of a man who took a phone call accepting a coaching position at another school during the f'n bowl game but i shall. he is indeed a slinky bastid. not on the level of some in the sec , but a slinky bastd nonetheless.
