He was the one bright spot from Jackie's last season and I remember he was to be an obvious "holdover" for Croom but he didn't want him. So, he goes to Nebraska and takes recruits with him...

Just could not remember what the reason was for why Croom didn't want him...

The rumor I heard was that he was kind of known to be an internal coaching cancer who spent a lot of time trying to work the system to become the head coach when Jackie got asked to leave. Don't know how much truth there was to that, but Blake had been a BCS Head Coach before (Oklahoma St. I think).

that probably would have worked out better for us than Croom leaving us midgets.

The only people that know how to coach have ties to him. It's the right way.

Croom told him the DC would choose the DL coach, and Ellis Johnson picked Brick Haley. If you read the book about the Cowboys in 90's, they tell of Blake causing racial tension when he turned alot of the blcak players against Troy Aikman and divided locker room. Dont care for him very much
