After hearing more about this, I have a little more perspective on it. Smith never told anyone the inaccuracies. He never lied. In fact, when asked, he told people that the bio was wrong. He never wanted it to be published, he never told the SID to publish it. He never even spoke with any SID. This is not unusual.
He did say that he feels bad for not correcting them earlier. But at the same time, he was being pressured by his coaches, and at times his schools, to leave them alone. They felt it would make him look better.
I'm sure this was a common practice. There can't be only 3 coaches in the history of football who have done this kind of thing. 10 years ago, who would have thought it would hurt like this? That doesn't make it right, but Smith wasn't totally in the right in this situation.
I think the truth lies in the middle. If he tells the SID one thing, and they print another, with the rest of the AA telling him to leave it alone, what is he supposed to do? And besides, it's not your $3 program bio that counts in football, it's your record and your ability to coach. Smith was caught in a no win situation, IMO. He did corect it when he went to Tulane, but then Kentucky screwed it up again. Who's at fault here?
As for the post from the Hive, it's absurd to the point of laughter. I graduated from Tech, and I honestly can't imagine a potential employer looking at me and thinking, "Well, this guy has all the credentials, but his school hired a couple of coaches that had wrong information printed in their programs. Better pass on him and go for that VoTech school applicant."
