So I guess Ann Margaret's not coming?
Great hire?
All things considered, it's not a bad move despite the Arkies thinking they'd get Gruden, Bill Cowher, Pete Carroll, Bob Stoops, Bill Belichek, Jimmy Johnson, etc., etc., etc. They're evidently paying Smith only $850K for 10 months and then they'll be back shopping again. They knew they were getting a short term hire and this makes it public.
The problem is recruiting is going to go to total $#@!.
They were probably able to use Pay Pal for his buyout.
Not much joy on the Weber State boards:
On a side note. He wouldn't face the local media or his team. He never contacted or met with them. He didn't tell his assistant coaches. He made a late phone call to the AD and then packed his stuff before anyone know what was going on. He ran out the back door so that he wouldn't have to face anyone. Definitely craven behavior. If he is culpable for anything it is his inability to face up to his decision here in Ogden and explain himself. Yes he made the decision, but didn't feel it was necessary to talk to his team captains or tell them why he was leaving. Such behavior is classless, pathetic, and a grave sign of cowardice. His face is an abject offense to anything honorable, and whatever he did accomplish has been tarnished by his baseless actions.
I expect Arkie to offer the job to Manny around November.
