This is strictly game day - X's and O's, time management, intangibles.

Can you start another poll on how many of us saw Matty Bell or Ray Morrison coach a game. This is a very tough poll when we have not all seen all the participants.

I will say this. I love Hayden Fry. I played for and coached under Hayden Fry. I was on the sidelines of games with Hayden Fry. Hayden Fry was an offensive genius. Hayden Fry was not, at least at SMU, a good game day coach at the time I spent with him. I will not go into specifics on this board but if anyone wants to talk about on the boulevard I will be glad to do so.

And being that I was not on the sideline with any other coach on the list, I would have trouble casting a vote for anyone.

Ray Morrison, I lived in his dorm, and he could make circus's fly

Must've been pretty good

I included the major coaches as I did not want this post to be declared an anti-June post. Thus it is not an anti-June post. I really want to know the Mustang Nation's opinion.

Its easier to be a good gameday Coach when you recruit well enough to alternate an entire OLine, entire DLine and RBs. But both Meyer and Collins had strong 4th Quarter teams

Bud Kilmer. . . Until he put his hands around QB Jonathan Moxon's neck

Yup, you get what you pay for.

They are paying 2 million dollars for Jones. Just saying.

think you forgot a couple- Bill Meek and Woody Woodward.

That's just "mediocre" pay for a BCS college coach nowdays.

PS- just shows how much we are over-paying. We might be in a BCS conference this year but our results (TT, TCU, etc.) show that we sure aren't close to BCS quality.

Bill Meeks was coach when I arrived on campus in 1955

IMO meek was an arrogant jerk. greatly disliked him. Sleepy and Cudmore were much better as coaches. I also thought meek didn't come to SMU until late '56 or early '57.
