The new coaches both seem like great hires. Young, energetic, team-first guys.
I had no idea CBL had such an extensive background as a head coach and coordinator. My guess is that these guys will be a great addition to the staff.

[Grant Carter]

Seems like a good guy with an interesting background. Not his fault, but it is depressing that no one has told him what his recruiting responsibilities are yet.

There's no question this guy knows football. I'm liking this hire more and more.

I noticed that too. You would think San Antonio and south since he is from Mexico. Seems he would do well in that area.

I would think the veteran coaches would be assigned their areas first and they have been waiting 5 years.

If I were in the SMU athletics marketing, I'd be picking his brain/asking for his help in reaching out to the Mexican-American community in Dallas to promote SMU football to that community. Maybe he can help.

I love this interview. Seems like a great guy.

[HorsePower]

Seems like a great addition to the staff!

looks like he has all the right connections to make a swell soccer coach but none of the right connections to address the real problem on this staff. Yet another in a long line of bewildering hirers by June Jones. Larry Brown gets "it" and June doesn't even know what "it" is.

Right, except for the fact that he's a football coach.
