It was just a quick number to show the man is not the boob that some try to make him out to be. I'll give you another, since he's been in the league, he's been to the SEC Championship game twice, same as Auburn and Alabama, and more than either of the Miss schools. Granted he hasn't won there, but he came within a freshmen's muffed punt of it against the eventual National Champ.
Look I'd just as soon he sucked as much as you guys seem to think he does. He coaches for another team now and I would love to see Ole Miss be as sorry as they were under Ogeron. The problem is the man has shown he can hold his own in the SEC West, and I don't think he's going away anytime soon.
No, he's a decent coach, but his personality gets in the way sometimes.
He is not the face I would want for my program. He always seemed to be up in some shenanigans. And he was too emotional. I sometimes felt like the Arkansas team rose and fell on his moods and that it was more a cult of personality than anything else. When you've got a volatile, mercurial guy like that you're not going to have any kind of real consistency or long-lasting success.
That's my book.
The perfect head coach?
Keeps his emotions in check and thinks before he talks.
Knows the meaning of the word discretion in both his personal and professional life.
Understands the role of the media and uses it to his advantage.
Is not reactionary, but always looking to better himself, his staff and the program.
Provides moral and spiritual guidance not in what he says, but in what he does.
Hires assistants who fit the same basic mold, always looking to surround himself with people more intelligent than he is.
Respects and understands the game of football, but more importantly respects and understands the institution he represents.
Is arrogant enough to be confident in his abilities, but humble enough to make changes and adjustments as the situation warrants.
Presents himself as firm and decisive and takes responsibility for his performance, the performance of his staff and the performance of the team -- on and off the field.
He understands that the program is bigger than any one man, including himself.
And he also has to win. Yeah. Win. There's that.
