As others have said he did have a problem recruiting SEC caliber talent. The Warren 4 and RM were coming to Ark regardless.
He is probably one of the greatest game callers (offensively) that has ever walked a sideline also. He would take his talent and devise a way to pick the defense apart as good as there is in the game.
The one thing about his coaching (to me) is there was no discipline at all. He got borderline talent there and then we had several arrests and the next thing you know that class of 25 we signed were now down to 15.
We also had a large amount of attrition due to grades. Let's face it, nobody ever said you had to be a rocket scientist to play football but one of the requirements is to remain (academically) in school.
These problems in addition to him being a Richard all added up to failure.
