Yeah, that actually sounds like him. He was ahead of his time.

Heard Kevin Mawae speak last year. He said it's hilarious to hear people in town talk about what a bad coach Miles is. He said he should know because he played for one while at LSU.

Ah, Hudson Curley Hallman. Maybe my memory is fuzzy, but wasn't he a skirt chasing, co ed sleeping, failed bit as a head coach?

Curley was just awful. "We gonna work hard, practice hard and practice like we gonna play."

One evening at Phil's Oyster Bar, he was in the back room and we were talking and having a beer or two or a case.....

He was telling me how proud he was for keeping his thumb on Brett Farve and that Farve had discipline at Southern Miss because of him.

Then he told me what he sadi to Jamie Howard after his 4 interception 4th quarter..."I just looked at him and said...get the frick on the bus" in his Southern drawl...

Great guy; this job was way too big for him. And it showed.

Archer let him talent but the guy wouldn't play any upperclassmen his first two years.
um, no. Archer left him no talent. Archer could coach X's and O's, but couldn't recruit his way out of a wet paper bag. Hallman was the opposite. DiNardo had a little talent to work with once Curley got the boot.

Correct; Archer was a bad recruiter. He was probably too young (34) to be LUS coach especially when the 2 other finalists were: Suprrier and Sam Rutigliano of NFL fame....
