Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2006 2:25 am48 hours is more like it. Recruiting Season reopens Sunday. This decision needs to be made immediately. Only today we've heard rumors about 3 QBs transferring. We need to assume they are serious and be in a position to offer JC QBs by December 15th signing date if that is true. SMU was at least in competition for two top JC QBs before Willis got on a roll. But my guess is that SMU would do its usual delay and not have anyone in place until after December 20th or so which means he couldn't hit the recruiting trail until the day after the Dead Period ends the day after the National Champion. If SMU fires Bennett and a new coach is named within 2 weeks it will be a miracle and a sign that things might be changing in the ADs office.

Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2006 10:05 amOur biggest problem is that there are at least 5 good BCS jobs free right now by my count. So even if we do fire today we are going to be at least a week+ before decent candidates give up hopes of filling those slots.

I think the death-knell for Phil was saying earlier this year that we should expect a bowl berth and now, that will not happen. I'm glad Phil put it out there, but this is a results-oriented industry. The results spoke for themselves.

Orsini said "Top 25" in FB and BB. I think if he gives PB one more year, he will be taking a HUGE risk of putting himself (and SMU) one more year away from that goal. PB could not go 7-5/bowling with 2 Sunbelts and a D-1AA team on the schedule. How's he going to do it substituting TCU for Sammy with a big gaping hole in the defense next year?
