I'm not taking his candidacy seriously.

But then again, I'm really not taking any name seriously because SMU is not taking this search seriously.

^^^ This.

Would be a fantastic hire..no nonsense guy, health problems would be the only thing that may prove to be problematic! Considering all of the failed attempts at hiring a new coach, this would surpass my expectations at this point.

...may be another failed attempt yet again.

Let's hope not--im beginning to become frustrated with this process, along with many others I'm sure.

Doesn't matter if you're taking it seriously. Just as long as he and Steve are taking it seriously. Close the deal Steve O.

Just because every step of the process isn't being detailed in the media doesn't mean the search isn't being taken seriously. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't -- none of us really knows what's going on.

Besides, it's not like we have a game tomorrow. Get a good coach who can win. If that takes more than the 10 seconds TCU spent on its search, it doesn't matter.

Agreed, though I'd imagine there's some sense of urgency regarding certain players and recruits.

[Lotus]

No question. But the current players and incoming recruits can't bail immediately, so what's most important is that we make a good hire, if it's not necessarily a fast hire.

[SMU 86]

Fast, we have been at it for almost a month so it is not fast at all. Open eval starts Friday as Kate pointed out and we will doing the new coach a disservice by not giving him time to look at juniors, soph's, freshmen,and JUCO players. Spin it pro SMU all you want but this is not a good situation to be in and that might be why we are having such a tough time getting a good coach to come here. We could fall back on Sutton, Menzies or Thompson I think.

[panhandle_pony]

Wikipedia states he is the coach of SMU. How the heck do they get that info that fast ??

[RunningStang]

Anybody can update wikipedia.

[Lotus]

I'm not "spinning it pro SMU" at all. Orsini might hire a bad coach (he has swung and missed before). I'm just saying that until we decide who ends up taking the job, it's shortsighted to suggest that the process is a disaster.

I agree to that I just hope it happens in time for him to get good time on the open eval period.

[CalallenStang]

Does Wikipedia know more than the sports media?

[CalallenStang]

Didn't realize that would run off the screen. It says he is the current head coach at Southern Methodist University.

Some SMU fan has posted over in the SLU forums that Majerus is a no-go. No link has been posted, but this has been hinted by other musings and rumblings around the web. If true, now what?

I hear Johnny Jones is interviewing for LSU gig, and will be followed by Amaker and Theus. This was tweeted by Chuck Carlton at DMN, so pretty reliable. Guess we are too good for them to get a whiff...
