Didn't Orsini say last Sunday on ESPN that SMU would be going after the best coach in America? (I have a feeling Bill Belichick does not want the job). Anyway, if Orsini said that then why do we keep talking about all these average coaches. Orsini set the bar, so I think from here on out we should be thinking Best Coach in America. None, of the names mentioned on this bar is someone I would consider best coach in America.

I think he meant "living coach" which would rule out Bryant, Paterno, Bobby Bowden and Stallings.

Either one would coach the [expletive] out of them.

Actually, I think he said that we should be in a position to get "the best available coach in America to come to SMU."
I read that to have qualifiers. First, available: Pretty self-explanatory. Second, to come to SMU: Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I think he could be meaning it like "that SMU could reasonably get."
As I have said all along, I am cautiously optomistic.

Sorry, I meant to say I'm a cautious optometrist.
(You're right. Thanks for pointing that out. Say, you don't happen to be a legal secretary looking for a job, huh?)
