No chance Doh gets fired this year.

The cost to eat a year of his contract and the buyout penalty is too much for SMU.

Next year we will have a non name CUSA schedule and no matter how we play our attendance will be poor and not generate the revenue to fund a buyout.

Let him stay through his contract and build our reputation in letting a coach play out his string.

No chance he stays, even with a remaining schedule where they should be expected to win out. No way should they lose another game.

Except for S. Miss.

CoxBizGrad, are you speculating, or have you actually heard from credible sources that there is no chance he stays?

Unfortunately... I am not at liberty to get more specific.

What is the cost of NOT doing this? We're talking dollars and sense.

Indeed. Time will tell. But a decision will be made soon in the off season.

It doesn't have to be a firing, it can be a promotion to Assistant AD with a full option for him to find a coaching job if he wants to. Yeah, you may have a two payroll year, it all depends on who might be available and who might be interested in an opportunity in Dallas. If a splash hire isn't available (and remember Orsini is all about splash hires), then Doh stays for another year as coach. I suspect more than a few agents are fielding calls right now expressing interest so that coaches have deny-ability.

Are you serious that SMU should not lose another game besides Southern Miss? SMU is last in the conference, why would you expect SMU to all of a sudden start beating teams that have already beaten SMU or have 3-4 more conference wins than SMU?

Time to bring back Dement!

No doubt, but that's pretty far off your stance that he's definitively gone. They're just going to make a decision next month sometime

I heard Doc Sadler's name mentioned by someone close to the AD
