New Staff

[ponypatrick]

The funny part of your argument is that the real youth and inexperience on Morris' coaching staff was Craddock, Fry, Stepp, Traylor, (Mathis played a part too in recruiting/development) on Offense and they produced the most productive offense in SMU History and all got HUGE RAISES and PROMOTIONS to an SEC program. Morris' knocked it out of the Park with all his inexperienced Offensive hires

The Defensive Coaching Staff had 57 years of College Coaching experience including stops at Alabama, Texas A&M (2), Nebraska, Oklahoma St., Kansas. Most of them had a decade+ or so of coaching experience-most at the P5 level. The reality is that SMU's problems had more to do with lack of talent, inexperience and the fact that Morris only took about 6 defensive recruits in Year 1 and most of his defensive recruits were only Sophomores, redshirt freshman or freshman

I love when people don't think before spouting "Conventional Wisdom"

Sticks and stones.......you remind me of the "know it all" in the White House

Hey Mr. Know it All , I wasn't referring to years of experience or age. I was talking about the difference in the quality
of the individual coaches. Southlake Carroll vs. Alabama...........get it !

I'm really more concerned about the new staff and how well they will do. But a significant difference is bringing someone on the defensive side with experience as a defensive coordinator, and on a very good defense no less.

[RedRiverPony]

totally agree

[AusTxPony]

I have been excited to read all the good press that the Staff has received. I am most anxious to see what KK does with this defense. They certainly will be tested early next year against our stiff schedule. Looking forward to the Spring Game. Just sayin'.

[Dark Horse]

Have they announced if there will be an actual spring game, as opposed too a public practice? Anyone know Sonny's preference on that?

Announced a few weeks ago

[AusTxPony]

SMU also planning a IPF event at the Spring Game I am told. So should see some final plans for the building then if not before.

Prepare yourself for copious amounts of field turf and an event center.

Will the diving platforms be included? They're still in place, although the pool be gone.
