Chad to Baylor a done deal..

[blackoutpony]

If anybody is clueless enough to blame Turner for not funding the IPF out the endowment just remember that is logically impossible since withdrawing money from the Endowment is not a Presidential level decision-its not like they give Turner checks he can write on his Hillcrest State Bank deposit account. If you are blaming Turner-you are blaming the Board who approves the budget and controls the financial strings of the university.

Turner hand picked his board

isn't that something you tell the team until after the game?

I've heard he already told recruits he is leaving.

I've heard he already told recruits he is leaving.

Heard from who?

[White Helmet]

HS sources

Isn't this a no contact period. Off campus recruiting resumes early Monday morning

[White Helmet]

I'm just stating what I heard.

Yes.

He's going to take as many recruits as he wants with him to Baylor. Only question is how many.

I think he is going to try to re-contact the entire Texas Top 100- not just SMU recruits-and try to shake some big names loose. Every Texas school is somewhat in turmoil right now-TCU maybe in the least turmoil but has had a poor season. Its not like these are cold calls-he's been recruiting most of them for years. Than he might circle back around to SMU recruits if he's not successful-I think he'll end up with a shockingly good class

He could tell HS coaches though, correct?

How about more money?

This is where the SMU donors, boosters, and higher-ups can make a resounding commitment to SMU football. Pony up here to retain Chad. Otherwise, SMU football is done.

I have been here before and my business world is much less volatile than coaching. I actually accepted a job about 15 years ago from a competitor and said I would not renege. My employer came back with an offer I could not refuse and I reneged. I felt guilty towards the bank offering but they just laughed and said they knew my bank would not let me go.

So I guess there is always a chance for backtracking.
