I give most of the credit to the upperclassmen and their leadership on that team, plus there were Arkansas kids on that team who were sick and tired of losing and and they played their guts out and played over their heads at times. Plus we got breaks we don’t normally get.

That’s difficult, if not impossible, to replicate yearly.

The expectations after that season were set higher than they should have been. It was a fun season though.

Absolutely. That's why I said he wasn't worth the expectations that team earned. He reaped the rewards of factors he had nothing to do with then turned it into a payday.

All downhill after that.

I see this, but somebody got those upperclassmen to stay, others to buy in, and coached those boys. It was a sales job to begin with just to keep the better players with a never before Coordinator/HC.

THis isn't just responding to you. I am ready for a change, but I will give the dude credit for what he did... and grief for what he is doing!
