Not a fan. He started off strong but in hindsight it was on the strength of what Saban was building here before he left. He had the benefit of the doubt for a lot of his in game blunders and team mismanagement due to things like Katrina in '05 and Perilloux being dismissed ahead of the '08 season which caused us to start 2 freshmen (Lee and Jefferson). Talent and luck also masked it. Hell in '07 he backed into a national championship with 2 losses and what could have been a 3rd against Auburn. The fans always saw it. We enjoyed the results but we all were nervous as hell the whole time. But we could stomach the circus he brought on the field and in the press conferences as long as he was winning and then of course 1/9/2012 happened and the dam broke.
From there it was a quick decline into fans just being fed the frick up with his BS. The press conferences where he would always speak in vague circles and say a bunch of nonsense went from "he's not trying to give anything away" to "....he really doesnt know what the frick hes doing does he?". His stubborness and loyalty to Cam Cameron drove us crazy and then of course there was his arrogance to trot the same coaching staff and offense out in 2016 despite having his job saved at the end of 2015 by promising the AD he would change the offense.
Here's a little fact I always loved (and I realize this might not be relevant now with the Leach decision): if you do the math, his vacated wins caused his win% to fall 1 game short of getting into the hall of fame. Which calls back the memory of the 09 Ole Miss game. His clock mismanagement was on full display. Call a timeout earlier - probably win. Have the fg team ready - win. Would have had him in the running for the hall of fame. No he burned 17 seconds with under 30 to play in a 2 point game. Then had his QB spike the ball to end the game.

No one to blame but himself. Maybe he felt indebted to Jeff Long after Long helped him get a raise from LSU by pretending Miles was a candidate for the Arkansas job.
Long does have a history of nuking football programs from orbit. I thought he was fine here at Arkansas... until we discovered he'd been playing loosey goosey with the finances.

Any good books out there about college football and basketball cheating back in 1990 to 2020?
$180,000 ( if true ) for one offensive lineman makes you wonder what boosters were prepared to pay for an entire roster. It must have been an arms race in all conferences to keep up with each other.
