$25.7 MILLION? The "L." Stands for "Loser"

Stay connected for news and updates

Is John L. Smith helping to plan the Arkansas Offensive attack against Alabama, or pondering how he's going to handle his $25.7 million debt?


Yes. Loser.

We all made the jokes about a man who had been a head coach for over 20 years making at least 6 figures at every stop along the way, and how he really wanted the Arkansas job for the income, but when you hear $25.7 million, that's a different story.

He's on the hook for $25.7 million, that's more in debt than MC Hammer. MC Hammer was only $13 million in debt.

Ummm bad decision maker? No. TERRIBLE decision maker. You have to be doing a LOT wrong to lose $25.7 million... Maybe he bet the $1.2 million in retirement funds on ULM to win straight up against the hogs to try and get a little closer to the black.

In all seriousness, the biggest question surrounding this debt was whether or not this bankrupcty case would be a distraction for the hogs this season, and even if it's not it certainly must be a distraction for Smith who had this bizzarre press conference telling the reporters to smile. I hear the party line coming from the players that they are behind Coach Smith the whole way, but as someone that will never make $25.7 million in my entire life, it's very hard to stomach someone that can lose that much money. I understand he made an investment that he thought would pay off, and maybe he got played, but I cannot stand behind a man that is that irresponsible.


We deserve better. No question John L. Smith is done at the end of this season. Maybe we'd be better off without him.
