Couple of things about arnsparger's last year, he and broadhead were on the outs bc of each other's ego. Also, Arnsparger was tired of the good ole boy system and the politics within the university. This is the main reason he left. When Saban and emeritt got here they put a stop to the good ole boy system and I think we have enjoyed the resultsfrom this. I was in the locker room after the Tulane game when he told the team he was leaving. My dad was on the staff then. This caught everyone by surprise. He did recommend archer but it was bc he was trying to help out one of his coaches. Also the team did want archer. Spurrier wasn't hired at Florida until 89. 2 years after Arnsparger had left. Archer's problem was that he wasn't ready and there were internal issues within his staff. And yes there were a lot of issues. The staff didn't respect archer and resented him. From a coaching stand point, Arnsparger was just as good as Saban, in my opinion, but he didn't enjoy recruiting. Half of his staff went on to coach in the pros.
