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
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.

Hatfield was a pretty darn good coach. Won 10 games at Air Force. Won 10 games at Arky three times in six years. Won 10 games at Clemson. Had a winning record three times at Rice, which is no small accomplishment.

Hatfield was picked over Jimmy Johnson who went on to unprecedented success at the U.
