By the way, is your quote at the bottom of your post pointed at our friend Stallion?
No, it is not pointed at Stallion, who I have disagreed with in the past. At least he is fact-based. My point is the "fire the adminstration, fire the AD, and fire the coaches" mentality of some on this board, who SIMPLY think demanding accountability equates to cleaning house. This is naive when you look at our recent history (DP, record, coaching turnover, etc.) and think that they could fix it by firing everyone. As if we are a dream job for a high performer.
Given our circumstances, e.g. private school with good academic credentials, in a mid-Major Conference (who didn't have a logical, geographically oriented conference until this coming year) and the absence of a huge alumni base/state school advantages, SMU is better off than we deserve given this inherited circumstances.
However, NOW we can expect better performance with improved recruiting, access to JC students, greater flexibility in accepting student-athletes, great new on-campus stadium and a coaching staff what has the tools/players/commitment needed to get to .500 this year!!!!!
