I think at this point what's holding me back is for next year, your PG (Whitt) is much better than when Brown took over for RoboDoh (J-Frog). You've got Hunt (corner stone), Shaggy (good but huge holes in game), and I-Mike (solid contributor), and Phelps (projecting decent minutes from a TAMU big). And there are still immediate contributors available. Jank will either whiff or pass on them. But a well-selected replacement would at least have a shot.
Seems kind of parallel to Brown's first year. There was some talent, but no depth. So we looked good for decent clips, but would fade, etc., and were approx. 500.
Is that a total rebuild? I'm not gonna go to the mat on that either way. Brown isn't coming back and he's unique, but his general attributes provide a roadmap to what success looks like at SMU. Going to be expensive. Needs to have some swagger and showman in him. Don't let the inmates run the asylum. Pay for a good staff. Keep thriving on transfers. Go national. Engage the fan base, etc.
