A little harsh. Lashlee did reverse the trend of losing later in the season. And his transfer recruiting improved on the previous regime, despite the drop in conference attractiveness. I’d give him a B overall.

B+

I think it is spot on. We were mediocre with a talented roster. He needs to improve and probably will.

Was Lavine hurt at the beginning of the year? With him in the lineup, we might have won a couple of those close early losses certainly Maryland where we got stuffed on several 4th and 1's. But once he got in the swing of things, I thought he did a good job. Defense was suspect and that was a talent issue not a game plan issue. The other big half of the job is recruiting. He did well to keep most of his team when Sonny walked, and he did well in the portal this year. So, I would give him an A for recruiting and a B- for game coaching.

TCu is becoming a destination of choice for both recruits and transfers. The difference between our football program and theirs will only increase from here. It’s very disappointing all the wasted opportunities we’ve had. As far as Tulane, who here wouldn’t trade our last twenty years for the season they just had now? Their momentum is trending way up and ours is flat to declining…

Except that we are working to upgrade the roster. If you aren't part of the collective, get in and do whatever you can to help

In the past i would agree with you Maroons, but CP is correct.

We are taking the decision making out of the hands of our incompetent administration and placing it in the wallets of our successful alumni.

we had the highest ranked G5 football portal class last year and this year is even better.

we can and i think will buy our way to success

Who would not like the connections and business opportunity that Dallas offers. Kevin Jennings might be Mayor some Day. Stay and get that first-class education and start working to improve yourself and the city. Dallas has a lot to offer!

TCU has pulled in multiple huge transfers from Alabama. We're competing in the G5 pool sadly.

"taking the decision making out of the hands of our incompetent administration" is the core of our problem. Always friction. Always.
You know RGT is in meetings with Hart like "Rick you better keep a handle on this NIL before it gets out of hand". Rhett is like "F, someone promised Mr.X $50,000 and now..." etc etc. The women's soccer team is like "football gets $30k. we only get Jocko Mölk protein drinks and we made the AAC title game."

We are SMU, get used to it.

New AD/President would help.
