But he was wild about swapping man goo with PJ, no?
Insider at SMU during the NG period - NG was a good guy who didn't seem wild about living in Dallas, TX.
I don't believe he was forced out because I remember him talking about how tedious the tenure packet process is while doing it at SMU. JL and co would have let him know he didn't have faculty support long before the packet was put together if that had been the case.
Didn't get to know the seniors super well but the juniors at SMU were a great group. Fun to hang out with and hard working on the research front. What you would expect of an MRM group.
