Well, that is a kick to the nuts.

The reason though is very important......was it health related, another scandal, or did he line up another job?

I sure hope it is not health or another scandal....

Larry almost instantly made an awful program relevant, got them into big NCAA trouble, leaves in a huff over contract - all so predictable https://twitter.com/DanWolken/status/751405245830397953

DMN is reporting he is leaving because SMU will not give him a long term contract....

Sure is hard to be an SMU fan with idiot moves like this going on.

Just spoke with SMU's Larry Brown:" I'm stepping down." When I asked why? He said, "I've got nothing else to say right now. I have to text the parents of my players." Asked if there was a health issue, he said "I'm OK." Tim Jankovich has been the head coach designate since he left being the head coach at Illinois State to come with Brown to Dallas. So Jankovich will take over. He coached the Mustangs during Brown's nine-game suspension last season as a result of an NCAA penalty. https://twitter.com/ESPNAndyKatz/status ... 8135116800

Since it is a contract dispute, hopefully it is not too late to fix it.

Hopefully, Larry is taking a page out of the June Jones playbook and going the public route to get what he wants, and we better give it to him.

If true this was over a contract dispute I'm disappointed with LB. SMU showed him a lot of loyalty through the KF issues. He made us relevant but he did never win an NCAA tournament game. My guess is Tim was not going to stay if they gave LB man more years. Hope we can keep all our players.

SMU did what it does best. [deleted] things up when things are just about to get going.

Larry has always been a quitter and once again shows his true character

Can this really be about money? If so, SMU powers have lost their minds!
