A report from Dallas noted that SMU was interested in Hawai'i's June Jones. Jones is quoted as saying he is not interested. It would be a curious move, despite a bump in pay, from the WAC to Conference USA. Larry Coker and Dennis Franchione are still in the running. One source says that SMU is considering Rick Neuheisel, despite his history, and that the school is no longer on edge about potential NCAA issues. The Mustangs are waiting to see if Neuheisel goes to UCLA. – CSTV c/o footballrumormill.com (Edited)


Geez, I'm about over this search. Enough already.

if we are not worried about NCAA issues, then why the hell havent we called Barnett?

Exactly. I don't believe the part about us "not being on edge" about NCAA issues.

something is not so right about this whole coaching search, and i'm beginning to think we will never know

I smell the worthless faculty involvement. As a matter of fact, their smell is PUTRID!

No reason.

Obviously, Barnett got blackballed by someone. Whether it was Orsini, or Turner, or Ford or someone else who knows? Perhaps Knida has a relative among the SMU higher ups. So, we have Slick Rick, Bye Bye Fran, and Larry, They're not Thugs, Coker.

as much as i want Nuheisel, i just dont think he would choose SMU over his ALMA MATER, UCLA. it seems we are screwed, because I just don't see Fran coming to a program like SMU after years of Alabama and A&M, and Coker just sucks

those three are still an upgrade over PB.

a wise man once told me that losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.

don't know what the hell that means, but i apply it to our coaching search...

Rick may do the trick...he has shown some interest and if we can forgive his failures...then it could be a good thing...I feel good about this move, while the Jones move maybe a shot in the dark but maybe more of a chance than I would think...either would be a winner but really, I would accept Fran also...let get the thing on the road...ready to help...Go Mustangs!!!

I'll believe this when we can get though an entire year without the President, AD, or football coach mentioning the term "death penalty".

I don't see RN coming here even if he doesn't get the UCLA job. BTW, what the hell is UCLA waiting for?

Bruin Blue pleads with UCLA to go for Neuheisel:
