What did he do to inherit such a reputation?

I know he had more than his share of players who got in trouble off the field, including Aaron freaking Hernandez.

But I remember reading something a few months back where he got something of a revelation from talking to Belichick.  Belichick advised him to write down all of the characteristics he wanted in a player.  UM supposedly stated he just went after the fastest guys before then.

Looking at this year's draft, he placed an emphasis n guys he seemed to know, and he seemed to speak highly of everyone's character.

I also seem to recall  there was some instance where he stuck up for an assistant who got in some hot water over a domestic dispute or something.

Were there other infractions I have forgotten?  Did UM himself ever get arrested?

His association with skeezy people leads to the skeeze sticking to himself. I wouldn't call failure to disclose pending legal charges for DV "sticking up for an assistant". And when the initial luster of the job wears off, he runs to the hills before the ugliness can be pinned on him.

He may be fantastic at Xs and Os. He's either a miserable judge of character, or willing to dismiss that for the sake of winning. That's where he and I certainly differ. If he is so changed, his hire of Chris Doyle is quite a contradiction.
