Turner \"not happy\"

I've gotten what I believe to be credible information that Turner is "not happy" with Bennett and the football program. Supposedly, he was also very upset with last season's performance and was getting some pressure to fire Bennett (at the end of last season).

I will qualify this by saying it comes from a person who spoke to a person very close to Turner. Take that for what it's worth, but I trust the source.

It will be interesting to see if this is enough to send Bennett packing. My guess is if we get blown out these next three games, Bennett will be gone.

Who knows? I'm just reporting the info as I get it.

Thanks for the information, but, if Turner is really unhappy, he needs to put pressure on the administration and the board of trustees to make the necessary changes needed to build a quality program.

They just don't get it. A quality D1 program builds interest in the university, helps with academic recruiting and creates national exposure. Dispose of the PYE model and create the necessary majors to recruit quality athletes. I hope we don't just fire the coach and bring in somebody else with handcuffs on.

I know the players want him gone.

If Turner has Bennett fired he is not very smart. Or he is arrogant.

The coaches need what DiamondM75 wrote about.

Relax, Dr. Turner's on board. He'll stand up for the program. He knows the process. The money folk$ are embarrassed in front of their UT and OU friends, but they're not so embarrassed that they can OR WILL shell out a few million for a "Bob Stoops" to help their self-esteem. They don't have the intestinal fortitude to back the team so they tear it down.

Bus, no one brings less to this board than you. It is almost laughable. You just stand up for everything Bennett does, and it is getting to the point of being annoying.

Except those who would come on here and whine about the contribution to SMU's woes of the Ticket and the DMN. That is beyond laughable.

You know anonymously taking shots at BUS is pretty bold. It won't be long before BUS calls you out and of course you'll decline and we'll know what kind of man/woman you are then.

Bus is a loser who sits around and defends everything that Bennet does. You may think that makes him tough, but I think it is just stupid.

Famous Bus Sayings:

"At least we didn't get beat by 50!"

"I am sure good offensive line prospect will want to come here and play for this coach, seeing any rational person would expect him to get fired any day now!"

"It is the players fault, I think Bennett is great."


I can't believe you cowards are gonna try to fight me after all the terrible things you have said about the players.

I do not know if Bus could handle Sir Trolls. It is hard to hit hot air.

Keep up the good work Bus. We that have been there will be there when they return.

I think you and your uninformed takes should get on a BUS out of this forum. Why don't you ride the bus back to the frog board?
