EVERY SINGLE FB or BB HC SMU has rolled out over the past 30+ years has been at a severe disadvantage due to either academic restrictions, ‘The Model’, embarrassingly meager attendance (accentuated by the demise of the SWC over 25 years ago), 2nd-rate facilities or overall administrative/alumni/student apathy. Most likely it is a combination of many of these factors.
ALL have had to deal with these disadvantages except for one, Tim Jankovich.
He inherited a team that had the 4th winningest percentage in college basketball. He inherited a team that sold out all its home game. He inherited Moody Madness.
So what does he do when given controls to this luxury jet? He immediately places it in a death spiral for which it cannot recover.
The plane crashes and burns in record time.
And what is the reaction of too many on this board???????????
Let’s see more development from player X
Let’s schedule better opponents
Let’s see if we can get an NIT bid
Let’s see if we can recruit better players
Let’s see if we can be more competitive in conference play
Let’s see if we can bring back LB or some other person to mentor
NEWS FLASH - He can’t recruit. He’s a so-so bench coach. He ain’t the man.
Nothing changes until we have a new HC, period.
Well stated.
