I think he is a smug, semi-disingenuous, and a arrogant little s---. He never was a fan of JJ's from very early on, and you could tell JJ felt the same. Again, not arguing his points. I can tell you, while he was a SMU reporter, very few if any of the players liked him, or the way he when about his business.
As far as Billy, na .. he has never been a JJ sympathizer IMO. He also played on the team for a year or two at the start of JJ's tenure. He has hammered him too. Pointing out he went to 4 bowls (3 wins) a div title and played for a conf title etc. etc, does not make you a fan or supporter, just makes you a fair and balanced reporter ... something I do not think EJ is. To EJ supporters, family/friends, it is just MO
This reminded me of tommy boy when he says "you're a smug, unhappy little man and you treat people like they were idiots"

We all would be speaking highly of the June era had he left at that time. Instead he came back with his tail tucked between his legs, lacked fire and energy, dropped the ball on recruiting, and the program fell apart completely... We were lucky we got that last bowl game because of Gilbert being here.

No he didn't.
This is pretty funny. Mason's defense was pretty good for 1-2 years. Our offense was very good for 3-4 games, mostly bowls which is good of course but our defense was never "dominant".

If you read his entire timeline (or his site), he is generally critical of June's performance.
Bright young SMU grad. Does a great job and is pretty balanced, IMO.
