Week 14 Schedule-Should Narrow the list down considerably

could also include BCS Championships in the first week of December
I assume he said Coaches-not just head coaches?

Maybe we are waiting for the Flordia International guy. :lol:

The Missouri Offensive Coordinator Dave Christenson is looking like a better guess every day. No BCS head coach is coming to SMU that is involved in a Championship. Lets count the candidates that this would eliminate (assuming an announcement is not imminent) BOWDEN BOWDEN BOWDEN, Barnett, Nutt, Dodge, Gill, Mason, Johnson, Franchione, Solich, Gibbs

basically Biggin's list

I like Christenson but Chase Daniel is putting his name on the map not vice versa ,I'm afraid. Take Chase away and things would be different at Missouri.

Good players make good coaches, crappy players make...you know the rest.

"This is seriously one of the worst takes in the history of the internet. Doherty may be a hot head, a bit of a mess on the bench, and a disturbing disciplinarian, but he can recruit. Its not up for debate. The coaching community and the basketball industry both know this truth. The kids he landed at Kansas, then in his one season at Notre Dame, are not debatable. The way he dropped Guts priority recruits, when he came into an impossible situation at Carolina, and focused on his own kids, was admirable. Many of those kids didn't have Carolina leading, but Doh pulled them, and then they won a title."

He didn't recruit any of those kids at the schools mentioned above? You don't have to recruit at NC, just compete with Duke, and if you can coach you can beat Duke with the players they did not want. I have one question that I have been asking about Doh from the time he was hired. If he is such a good coach, recruiter. What is he doing at SMU? He was fired by his own alma mata. He is not even mentioned in the coaching world of the NCAA. C'mon he can't coach. He was exiled to SMU, so he can try and jumpstart his career. He is a good choice for SMU.

It sure would be ironic if we hired an offensive coordinator now, seeing that our offense is functioning pretty well and our defense is a disaster. Kinda like when we hired Bennett, we had a decent defense back then but we couldn't score a td to save our lives. So it made alot of sense to bring in a defensive coordinator. :roll:

Its real dangerous to hire these flavor of the day coordinators just because they happen to to be with a school having a good year right now.

O'Brien at Boston College came from being UVA's OC and he worked out just fine. In fact, he was more like Greg Davis, in that many Virginia fans at the time were saying "don't let the door hit you on the way out, good riddance," etc. But that's the thing, when you hire a coordinator, you never really know what you're going to get.

When I first met Orsini and observed him he seemed very in command and dynamic. Yet he looked meek and unsure of himself the last two times I saw him interviewed during our games about the coaching change. I know I'm not the only one who didn't get a good feeling listening to him talk yesterday about how the search was going. As much as I hate to say it this plays right into my analysis that he is striking out and forced to wait until everyone else gets the pick of the litter.

Before I get bashed this is just ANOTHER indication of how the search is going. By no means is my analysis based simply on Orsini's behavior. As I have said, among other things, I have both direct and indirect information on the interest in this job from would be candidates. I also would be hearing things if the selection had been made.

Moral of the story - Don't get your expectations up and be happy if SMU lands a decent hire.

Were you really expecting to have somebody hired before the season was over? If so, you really are clueless.

I think stallion is on to something here..........

I used to just think Bigdaddy was an idiot - but after his "doh cant recruit" posts, now it is proven for me beyond a shadow of a doubt.

He now falls in the category of those mean green posters that dont even require a response - they embarrass themselves so badly you just laugh and let it go.

[quote="couch 'em"]At no time, whether in person or on tv, have the words "meek" or "unsure" ever come to my mind while viewing Orsini. That is the silliest thing I've ever heard.[/quote].................Total bs....for "meek & unsure" look to the top of the page.

Sorry Stalion, I was talking about top of page 1.
