re: Has John L Smith gone on record about leaving his alma mater high and dry?

If your taking the 'personal obligation to players/close bonds' approach...

Would you not assume that he has more personal bonds with the UA's rising seniors, juniors, sophomores and incoming freshman that he recruited and coached for three years...

or the Weber state team, that he hadn't recruited... and only coached for four months. A four month period where he was moving, getting accustomed to a new staff, new facilities, new names...

I'm assuming his personal relationships were not all that close.
