C'mon.
The point really is, why aren't mo' bettah ones liking Bennett...answer that
They might like him. They might like the assistant coaches.
But that may not be enough to overcome a dismal record, a possible new coach within two years, high school coaches calling SMU a "small school", other coaches calling SMU a "dead-end job" or a "laughingstock". Or the fact that those "mo' bettah" players might just prefer a BCS school, or a school that has some of the previously mentioned that SMU lacks.
Hate to fall into the Stallion trap, but committments should not be measured in speeches. It is indeed the model, stupid.
I can't believe I just said that.
