[QUOTE="bluemountain, post: 1565234, member: 620047"] I just read A Lioneye's write-up re: Lovie, and all I can say is, "what a load of BS" By every account I've seen Lovie did not put the work in required to succeed here. He surrounded himself with incompetents like his son and Hardy Nickerson. What Robert calls confidence I call hubris and arrogance; everybody with two (or even one) eyes could see that his defensive scheme didn't work, yet he made few if any adjustments. He hired unqualified assistants. He made very little effort on the recruiting trail and expected recruits and coaches to kiss his *** because he is Lovie Smith. If he expected us to have an IU type year this year he was delusional and in need of meds. IU succeeded because Allen surrounded himself with good people and worked his tail off. Same with Fleck. Plain and simple, Lovie didn't do what was necessary to succeed here, and that is why he failed [/QUOTE]
