At least be a man about it and resign in person. Why resign via phone call? He couldn't tell Blank face to face?

This is true. But I don't blame him for hauling ass. If Arkansas was his opportunity and he had to leave now for recruiting purposes, etc, then so be it.

I'm sure it will be on ESPNews. But I'm not at work right now so I plead the 5th

A tip of the hat to you SS. Nice pull. That 2000 template from ESPN.com is a riot. Total throwback.

So what was it about the Jets that was so bad? Was it really the ownership deal?

Did New England offer him significantly more money?

A bit off topic, but is there a way for the general public to look at those old archived ESPN pages? I could waste my entire work day looking at that old stuff.
