The students hated “Bottom line Bob”.
He pushed their previously free seating away from midfield.

I normally don't care.

I can't stand Joe Alleva, and it goes back to his Duke days.

A great president took ownership and did not let a good ole boy (joe dean) hire the football coach on his way out. The LSU president at the time paid higher than any school was paying any coach at the time and hired Nick Saban.

Ironically, that president is president of the NCAA today.

Broadhead brought in Bill Arnsbarger who did well and was liked until he narrowed the seats in TS and then he was put on a spit, BBq'd, tarred and feathered, and run out of town on a rail...

Which also explains how close of a relationship Mark and Nick still have today. Mark won't do anything to that Bama football program short of actually killing hookers with those Dodge Chargers.

He won't fire Eaux the first day but it'll probably be the first week.

Don't leave out Richard Gill.

Brodhead assembled a fricking hall of fame list of coaches so he was ok in my book

Skip was all about that money but you couldn’t complain about the product during his time.
