The way that game was lost exposes a head coach's shortcomings and his overall football philosophy more than anything. It was one of the lynch-pin moments in the re-start of a declining SMU football program. He had some very good recruiting classes, but no way I can put him higher than Forrest Gregg.
Well you shouldn't be that mad at him, because his 5-6 record cost him his job.
Had we not had the extra point blocked and returned for 2-pts, or made the 30 yard FG at the gun, he would have been the coach into this decade.
(the Utah and Navy games you can throw in as well)
