Have we had a truly spectacular coach since Lou Holtz? I mean, look at our history. I’m not going through a lifetime of coaches to prove a point, but maybe we do have history with a mediocre program. I was just on campus touring with my daughter, and it seams everything has changed, save the 8 wins and we’re happy culture.

If Holtz was spectacular, was Hatfield almost spectacular?

While Frank was here, we never had any coach that wouldn't let Frank Broyles be heavily involved in the football program. That was the primary factor in determining who was coach.

That's why we never got Jimmy Johnson. That's why we got saddled with Nutt for years and years. Kissing JFB's arse was always the number one criteria.

Jerry Jones runs the Cowboys under the same model, and that's why the Cowboys have been underachievers for most of the time he has owned them.

As a 25 year old I think Hatfield gets sold short. Back to back conference titles isn't easy.
