from KS's column:

Major Applewhite. He helped resurrect Rice's moribund program last year and has done a good job as Alabama's offensive coordinator. He can still draw on his experiences as a quarterback at Texas, and he would attract any expatriate Longhorn fans. (Are there really any expatriate Longhorn fans? )

More important: He'd install the kind of offense that would give SMU a legitimate shot to win.

Even schools that can recruit the best offensive linemen must be able to pass effectively. For a school like SMU, it's as essential as the timing of this move.

I agree Applewhite would be a good hire, but i believe it should come down to him or bowden. They both would be able to recruit and bowden has already proven himself as a HC unlike applewhite, but applewhite has appeared to be a proven OC. He lead rice's offense to have its first ever 1,000 passer, rusher, and receiver in the same season. Something smu hasnt seen

yes...but as Stallion showed us earlier this week, PB wasn't exactly the up-and-coming assistant. More like the somewhat washed up, already been canned a few times assistant with some moderate success of late

But what I didn't know was what a whiny little [deleted] of a teenager you were.....




... where was I?

Oh, yeah -Major... and if we can't get him, I hear Chris Simms is looking for a job.

Would you rather have an unproven media darling, or a former SEC head coach who led his team to an undefeated season?

By former SEC coach, I would hope by "former" you meant someone who has coached within the last 10 years or so...

No way Bowden is on the list

Uh, SEC is SEC. Did that conference suck nine years ago?
