Don't just cast him aside. Someone from the press - someone who is thoughtful and can frame pertinent questions - sit down with Shields and pick his brain about his years in Little Rock, the highs and the lows. There are a lot of good memories for me bound up in those years, and I would like to see them preserved from Steve's perspective.
For the conference as a whole, Shields was the dean of Sun Belt coaches when he was fired, and he had a long stretch to watch the conference grow and change. That story ought to be worth something.
