[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 1170840, member: 2299"] I don't recall either of those being fired. Far cry from being run out of town in a heartbeat. The people against Johnson were largely because of his style of offense and belief it limited what the team could accomplish (specifically as it pertains to limiting recruiting). And by the time he stepped away college offenses had developed to the point where the offense wasn't as much of an advantage as it once was. Football was also a significantly different situation as he took over a program that had made a bowl 11 consecutive years. He would extend that streak to 18 and then miss going bowling 2 of the next three years before getting back there his last year. That is a far cry from taking over a program that been to the NCAAT once in 15 years. Don't know enough about baseball to really comment, but he was here 32 years and retired when he was 70. He made the college world series last in 2006 and lasted 19 years after that, so again, hardly being run out of town in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
