Broyles, Defender of Arkansas Virtue, felt Holtz had to go after the coach said "Arkansas isn't the end of the world, but you can see it from here" on the Johnny Carson Show.
Forget the fact that Holtz was the most successful coach the Hogs ever had.

Wikipedia on Holtz's departure from Arky:

reports suggested it may have been due to controversy over his having taped two television advertisements from his coach's office endorsing the re-election of Jesse Helms as Senator from North Carolina.

Unfortunately, Holtz needed to be fired at that point. He spent a lot more time being a celebrity than recruiting for about his last three seasons, and our talent level went down the crapper as a result. Hatfield was thus the perfect hire at that time -- a coach who was used to winning with inferior talent at Air Force.
