He was a good coach and a funny man. Remember he appeared on Johnny Carson and told this tale:
"On the team plane, the pilot once asked me what I would do if he had a heart attack while flying the plane.
'I'd whip your ass all the way the ground' "
and
"At Arkansas we have players that can do anything you would want with a football but sign it"
His pep talk to Notre Dame before the big game with Colorada was epic
Quote
“Number one, (Colorado is) used to scoring a lot of points,” he said. “They ain’t playing any Kansas State. We got to be patient on defense, just play our football game. On offense, we want to control the football. All we want (is) a first down, first down, first down. Frustration will set in on Colorado’s offense.
“By the middle of the third quarter, they will leave the game plan completely and start grab-bagging. Remember me telling you that. They are not patient. (Their) quarterback will want to make plays and we aren’t going to let him. Stop the bomb, control the quarterback. Those are two critical things along with the five areas we told you.”
