I didn't particularly like Frank Broyles as a game day coach. He was a good leader and in many ways, a great mentor. He was a great recruiter and motivator, but his play calling was many times very much like Hootie's. In his later days of coaching, fans really began to turn up the heat for him to retire. Since he was already the AD at the time, there was no real change in that regard.
He was, in most ways, a great athletic director.

A lot of people like Ken Hatfield (at least the ones I talk to). The biggest issue with ex-Arkansas coaches is that Broyles tended to run them off, which left people polarized in Broyles' camp or in other people's camp. The issue reached a head with Nolan Richardson, because that was really the point where it became VERY obvious that Broyles had to go. The Nolan Richardson saga was probably the most divided the fan-base was prior to the Nutt situation (though the Nutt situation ended up being mostly a revolt against the PTB and the administration).
Broyles was good at identifying coaching talent (for the most part), but his ego did get in the way of a lot of things. I think now people look back at our ex-coaches with a bit more fondness however.
