SMU can't even get the local talking heads on the radio to side with us. Highly doubt that we could get these guys on board. It's a shame, really; SMU gave these players a free education and publicity, not JJ.

June is was a cancer and so is his drunk agent. Thank The Lord he is gone.

We will be fine once this season is over.

Please, we've heard this one before, no Thanks. Let's take the dumbest and most brainwashed of the entire Juneses cult and invite them in to 'help' the program? WTF

I say no negotiating with terrorists. Better to blow up their home with a drone!

And....amateur hour makes another appearance. It's hard to imbue success in an organization that defines failure. Luckily, all Hart and the next coach needs to do is work with the kids. You do realize, for a college football program to excel, you need that connection to success that is the NFL, right? You can advertise academic excellence all you want to prospects, but if their view of success is working on Sunday then they really don't care about your academic excellence. It is a nice draw, but if you are trying to pull top talent to a non P5 school, that NFL connection and those visible bodies that they recognize on Sunday are even more important because that is your national impact. So our response to some disgruntled former players in the NFL is to bash and disconnect with them and rely solely on a punter?

So, you are saying we get a big time coach and staff and this group of players is going to succeed next season?!? Going to be 2-3 rough years before we really succeed, but if we do it right, we can maintain that and continue to grow.

Did I say we'd be good next season? Can you read?

by **Arkpony** » Sat Sep 27, 2014 11:33 pm

I understood Treadway21 and agree.

How exactly do you define "fine" then? I assumed you defined it like others here who believe a new coach is going to turn the crap players into some sudden offensive juggernaut. If by fine you mean they might be able to tackle a elderly man in a hoverround, then I agree.

I don't need to answer to you. Figure it out yourself since you're so damn smart.

Oh, sorry Puckhead. Didn't know we needed political correctness on the Ponyfan message boards. I'm sure Hart will be working hard with the kids? (what)

Yeah, and all those NFL players and June's NFL 'connections' has really made a big difference to June Jones and his SMU recruiting. Not at all.

Bash and disconnect from those that bash and disconnect from the program? Yes, sounds about right.

Give Thanks and a shout out to a punter who wears the SMU colors visibly and proudly? Yes, even better.

Sure you aren't a full card carrying member of the Cult of June?

No, you're just a Puckhead who's probably never played a down of football (no, flag doesn't count) in his life.

What PC are you talking about? You would have to have a program to recruit anyone of merit outside of a few statistical outliers that choose the program, and you would have to recruit to begin with. Jones ran it into the ground, back to where it was before he got it and then some. Your continued "cult of Jones" calls almost makes me think you know someone who even the feckless Jones thought had too little talent to play at SMU. And for NFL players to have an impact on recruiting, you would have to recruit wouldn't you? Since it is accepted as fact that one of the hundreds of failures under Jones was recruiting, well, there you go. I liked the success but was never a big Jones fan...overt support of him implied acceptance that SMU would never be a big program because his whole system was based on getting more out of less and the system being supreme, not using the players talent and growing the system. I'm really starting to think many throwing the "cult of Jones" curse around are actually just angry at themselves for supporting him and not seeing that he was part of Turners plan to spend just enough of the boosters money to keep people quiet without actually having to make a stand to make the program actually good.

Pro tip. Use paragraphs. Makes your posts easier to read.

Thx. Some decent points in there.

suffice it to say that SMU's next coach has a very challenging task ahead; will have to heal a lot of wounds as he rebuilds this program. I sincerely hope the SMU community will someday support the football program and pack Ford no matter who we are playing

Just thinking out loud here Cole and Tank -- you are not going to make enough money in your NFL career to live comfortably for the rest of your life. The JJ assistant coach gravy train was jumped the tracks. The SMU alumni network is alive and well. The person behind the desk you are asking for a job may take a dim view of you disparaging their SMU degree.

My advice, if you can't say something nice, STFU.
