Very respectable move on LE's part, GMac should follow suit.

I would send my kid to play for him just for that reason. If you are mentally tough the kid would be fine, if he wasn't he would sure become a man fast!!!

His record is worse than that if you take out the Transylvania U and High Point College. This is a good PR move and will help him get another year at Southern Miss but if he does not go to post season after 6 years as the head coach he will be let go.

Imo the compassionate and right decision would have been to put him on 6 months or a year leave of absence to go thru rehab and get his life in order. Morgan could have ably run the program until Larry got back. I'd bet the last 3 years would have been a whole lot better with a rehabbed LE and Morgan running the show. As a season ticketholder, I don't know if I can take another year like the last 3.

That is exactly how I thought things should have been handled in this situation. Never should have been let go.

Exactly right!! Morgan got a bad rap, but he could win road games and at least stem the tide til Larry came back.

I have a hard time believing that he was a much better coach than WM or even McDermott.

That being said, I sure loved the guy while he was here.

Only 2 Conference Championships for Larry...that's all. Tell me ONE, just ONE positive thing Greg McDermott has done since he's been here....yeah...exactly.
