Here is a post I read on ITAT.
I can recall seeing Gus standing over Cam Newton while he was doing up-downs for doing something wrong in practice. Keep in mind this was when Cam was just a couple weeks away from winning the Heisman. He was the new Tebow, he was Johnny Football before Johnny Football, THE story nationally - and not just off the field...and Gus has him doing up-downs for poor technique (or whatever).
If there was ever a guy to be labeled a "favorite", that was the guy. If there was ever a time for a coach to back off, that was the time. But no, there he is with his face in the grass like a nasty ole lineman ("two more, Cam!").
I recall thinking I wish all the young kids out there could see this. They see the smile and the big plays when he is in the spotlight, but they don't see his coach jumping down his throat when he does something wrong just like their coach does them.

I have been wondering if part of the reason Gus sold the search committee is that he realized the discipline and accountability problems when he left and he may be able to fix them if he has that intention

I remember NYC saying yesterday we would see a rash of former players and old stories coming out talking about how hard nosed malzahn was in order to make this hire seem less lack luster. Damn, he was spot on

But in turn, that same guy brought Dyer to Ark St knowing what he was bringing in. Just to get a running back.
