heat from AD....
Actually, it had little to do with the AD. It was moreso the LSU BOS, which was constantly meddling. Carl Maddox reached mandatory retirement age and was out as AD. Maddox supported Mac. The BOS brought Dietzel in to can Mac. No long thereafter, he would meet the same fate as the BOS would fire him at a meeting in Alexandria and later hire Brodhead as AD.

Mac was in the mold of all successful coaches at that time, hayes, bo, bear, jordan, stallings, majors, vaught...with the one exception that he only threw to run. we lost archie (and maybe eli) because of that philosophy. for all those who only want to compare mac and miles....different time, different game. les is not even close to the hot seat.
