Agreed, but, you can't blame him for pouncing on a better-paying, more visible gig.Cap'n Cat wrote:Not cool.
It's a 10 month interim gig.Grizalltheway wrote:Agreed, but, you can't blame him for pouncing on a better-paying, more visible gig.Cap'n Cat wrote:Not cool.

I think 3 years, but I could be wrong.dbackjon wrote:SACCAT wrote:He had 850,000 reasons to make this move. Can you really blame him. Sure it is kind of a Dick move, but we would all have done the same thing.
Yup
Of course, after the one year he is done at Arkansas - how long was his Weber contract?
Yep. Sounds like his stands to make more in 10 months at Arkansas than he would in 3 years with Weber. He could still be name the Arkansas coach at the end as well if he does well.SACCAT wrote:I think 3 years, but I could be wrong.dbackjon wrote:

So John L. Smith should've predicted that the Arkansas job would become available and not taken the Weber State gig? Get a clue. I bet you were one of the people who dissed Urban Meyer for returning from his sabbatical to coach Ohio State.Appaholic wrote:Glad to see Arkansas has pursured another coach with ethics...a real "man of his word" kind of guy, to replace Petrino...

No I didn't and it's moot point. The situations are completely different. Urban walked away from one good gig for his own reasons and landed on his feet with another equally good gig in his home state after taking a personal sabbatical. Smith accepted a multi-year gig, at his alma mater no less, spent the spring practice preaching commitment to his players, then took the first opportunity presented to accept a 10 month gig for more money, prestige and fame without ever coaching a game for his alma mater. It's a shitty thing to do to the Weber players, but consistent with his past decisions (see Louisville). It doesn't surprise me he's a good friend of Petrino. At least Arkansas has been consistent in their pursuit of Head Coaches with a history of burning bridges with former players / employers....rkwittem wrote:So John L.

No one planned it this way- neither Smith nor Meyer could predict these jobs would become open.
Only one laugh? I thought that was gold.Screamin_Eagle174 wrote:Willie wrote:Screamin's signature actually sums everything in this thread up...the coach leaving is Bubba Watson in the clip, guy on the right is Weber, and Charl is Arkansas.
