Didn’t know about his mis deeds. Of course I am not a big expert of NCAA football either. Still, it seems that he has a plethora of knowledge of the game, that can’t be overlooked.
Respectfully, I think you'll find he's something of a source of ridicule among many hard-core college football fans. They shouldn't kid him about his lisp and diminutive size, but it seems like he is wrong on his predictions more than any other football analyst, and by a wide margin.
That, and a lot of people don't like that he's accorded all of this 'love' when his background was to leave football programs just before they were put on probation.
By the way, he coached at South Carolina and, I believe, has picked Auburn to lose every game this year.
