He improved the program at Tech, met with the team and had a great discussion about leaving with them, etc...at meeting's end, his TT players gave him a standing O and thanked him. A big part of the decision involves his wife and he wanted to be back near SEC country, etc. It happened fast, the offer and acceptance, but he handled it as professionally as possible. Tech was only paying him $300K base, but it isn't about the money. He really wanted the Arkansas job!

Since the program went from being a near-BCS program under Leach to being in a post-Leach era.


On top of that, people in the coaching changes board claim that Tubby's wife had a drunken car accident that killed a local and was covered up by the powers-that-be. Apparently the locals didn't take it too well.
