Not a knock on Auburn but that was smart on his part. He will have a very limited time to turn things around there and sanctions aren't going to make it easier( if there are any). Why would you give up a good job for a better job if that better job is going to be harder to succeed at due to sanctions. I mean who wants to become CEO of a company that may go under because of a pending investigation. Hiring your own staff at Auburn or Bama for that matter makes sense both schools have a history of meddling g in the coaches affairs. That seems like a very type demand from Smart. If I am goi g to take a job and be responsible for the outcome I want to fail or succeed on my merit.

Auburn told him there were not major NCAA issues, he had listened to the Bama party line.

His attitude was a major concern. He questioned the committees integrity.
Showed a lack of maturity. Came off as arrogant and immature.
