Looking at the site, I'm going to guess that it's from Okie state players. The copyright date is '03-'05. Don't know when in '05, but that was his 1st year at LSU. Not sure if any of those guys could give an entirely accurate read on the man from only a few months with him.
I'm not going to say that he's not corrupt, I don't know him personally, and have no clue what goes on behind closed doors, but I do know that the overwhelming feeling coming out of Baton Rouge, is that his players would run through a brick wall for the man.

Until we know or have a bigger sample from LSU (as his tenure there grows) I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt....

So am I. So far, he sure has seemed to show a lot of care for his LSU players. I wouldn't send a child of mine to him (nor wold I go myself) for a different reason than him being corrupt: He is from Michigan, and I don't want a Michigan man coaching someone from my family. |

If you want to question his X's and O's ability, that's fine, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you want to mock his public speaking ability, go right ahead. But what has he done to be classified as "corrupt"?

I don't really think he's corrupt (certainly not by SEC standards) ... just having some fun with the contrast.
I agree that it was likely OK St. players, but... until one of you buys this site and continues it's work, we may never know. Sadly it is shut down until someone takes it over.
