    Great Arkansas coach and TV commentator. Always seemed like a class act.

    Another great coach gone. Reading about him I had no idea how great an athlete he was as a young man. Did a great job for Arkansas.

    RIP

    Gracious, all of the great coaches are being lost to the aging process! Broyles was always one of my favorite coaches. He also was a very kind and likable human being.

    Thing I liked about Broyles most was his voice when he did color commentary, he did the Herschel Walker Sugar Bowl victory over the Irish. Thought he was fair and even handed.
