You could say one of those four doesn't belong, but Williams is probably smarter than the other three combined. It's a shame that Richard destroyed his career with his behavior. Hurt Mississippi State, his career and cost himself millions of dollars.

It's a shame LT didn't come up with money to keep the cheerleader's dad from raising hell.

Maybe because he was a math teacher. Definitely not because he was a better coach.

He was a pretty damn good basketball coach. Not a great recruiter, but a good fundamental coach.
We have no idea what would have happened if he could have kept it in his "pants."
MSU might have won a National Championship if he was still coaching.

Smarter than the other 3 combined?
You have a career BigEast coach who has taken Syracuse from an absolute nothing to the tops of college basketball and also helps coach the USA team. And you have 2 coaches who have had unreal success at multiple colleges and got a shot at coaching in the NBA.

But Williams is smarter than the 3 of them combined?

Ironic that right after you claim how smart he is, you mention what a shame it is that he did what he did. He may be smart, but he certainly wasnt right then.

We have no idea what would have happened if he could have kept it in his parents.
MSU might have won a National Championship if he was still coaching.

Immediately after the FF run, we went 27-33 the next two years. That doesn't sound like a coach going back to the championship game.

You

definitely have a unique perspective on things and bring a different opinion to the table.
