I'm not sure if he has a wife, but hopefully she doesn't leave him in the near future.

His bankruptcy filing was amended to list his debt at $40.7M, up $15M from $25.7M (only $1.2M in assets).

If Arkansas keeps losing someone might need to put him on a suicide watch.

He fine though because in the bankruptcy case their gonna let him keep his house and car and pothole of his retirement funds which are worth 600k each. So let's say the court approves it he can still find a d2 job and make decent money or just retire and live on 1.2 mil not a bad deal if you ask me.

I would say bad investor worse football coach

He's a terrible coach. I remember when he was in Lansing, and he absolutely sucked. His best season was 8-4 and I remember when he put Stanton in on special teams and got him hurt. Arkansas was one of the most talented teams in the SEC, no reason this team is getting crushed like this
