Would love to see SMU bring back Alan Kirkup. He had the team among the nation's best when he was the coach years ago, and he's still coaching.

Alan is a great guy who did a very good job at SMU. But that was almost 30 years ago.
I think it is time for a younger man or woman with great club connections that can recruit very good players to SMU>

I'm on board with young and well connected recruiters ... but if SMU chooses to go that route, we could do a lot worse than Kirkup. Larry Brown was old when SMU hired him, too. Alan has been an outstanding coach for a long time.
