Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive JobSMU has a lot to offer football coaches especially an ambitious HC.
Very good academics, beautiful campus, located in Dallas, excellent local and state-wide HS football talent, good football facilities with major improvements planned, AAC games are televised, Mustang football tradition (pre-DP) and the potential to get into the Top 25. The same SMU attributes that attracted name-coaches CM from Clemson and JJ from WAC-champion Hawaii (Sugar Bowl) are still here. SMU's football program is ready for a run of successful seasons. Talented coaches know that and many will want the job.

Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive JobSMU is a great place to coach. Not just bring in thugs but teach young men and build a team.
This place is much better than three years ago and will be even better next year. SMUlin please. Last edited by BUS on Wed Dec 06, 2017 9:37 am, edited 1 time in total.

Our coach just went to Arkansas. That’s not a graveyard. #HammerDown
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive JobIf you come to coach here they'll build you an IPF...for sure
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive JobHah...sure the campus is great, but it's just a stepping stone job and always will be. Nobody likes coaching in front of 8,000 fans.
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive JobNever underestimate how miserable Chad felt here. Weak AD without any power or desire to stickup for his coaches, AD made no effort to market our football program and put buts in seats, but most of all a Lifetime President that doesn't keep his word.
As one of our coaches so eloquently put it, "you can't even fart on this campus without Turner's permission".
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive Joblet's just hope the job is attractive enough to get a good coach and keep the fball program from imploding.
if not, then just accept the fact that we will soon become a bball school and nothing else.
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive Job
We are paying in the top 2-3 of G5 schools for a head coach. Everyone relax. The SMU job is 1000x the job it was when June took it in 2008 and 10x better than when Chad took it 2014. Things are trending in the right direction. Back off Warchild seriously.
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive Job
I guess we will see if that is the case when we see who the new coach is and how successful he is next year.

TCU 93-SMU 84. ??
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive JobWe had the model right - hire someone who can recruit out of Texas and knows the HS coaching community. Let's find someone from that clay!
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive Job
This is exactly my point from the other thread about Larry Brown. Did we pack Moody before LB? No. Do we now? Yes. It's possible that the same thing could happen in football. Not highly likely, just possible. LB literally fell into our laps and changed the game. Wouldn't it be nice... Here's to those that wish us well and all the rest can go to hell!!!
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive JobI think we just need to get someone that will take us to greater heights than Jones and Morris did and be prepared to replace that coach when he leaves and do it again and again until we become a great program and who knows maybe we hit the jackpot with a coach that wants to stay. Once we win enough consistently we will probably be able to fill our small stadium for any opponent much like Moody.
Re: Coaching Football at SMU is an Attractive Job
Expect a 3-year shelf life for anyone who has success here. You are crazy if you think we can consistently get 27k+ fans at Ford for conference games given our opponents. It will never happen without some serious marketing and even then its problematic.
