If your taking the 'personal obligation to players/close bonds' approach...
Would you not assume that he has more personal bonds with the UA's rising seniors, juniors, sophomores and incoming freshman that he recruited and coached for three years...
or the Weber state team, that he hadn't recruited... and only coached for four months. A four month period where he was moving, getting accustomed to a new staff, new facilities, new names...
I'm assuming his personal relationships were not all that close.

This is a good quote though:
quote:At least he said hopefully. Left himself an out if it didn't pan out.
"No. 1, I've always had a place in my heart for Weber State," said Smith that December day in Ogden, Utah. "You do that naturally. That's your school, that's where you graduated from, so that fondness, that love is always with you. And again, to come back to run your own program as a head coach again is crucial for me. This hopefully can serve as an opportunity for me to give back something to the university.
