Hire Major Applewhite

Post by ponyphi07 »

Why not?

The Dallas UT fan base still loves him, he has been recruiting Texas for a long time now. I don't care if he is not the best OC, he can hire good coaches, he has a name that would attract assistants and recruits.

From UT to Rice to Alabama back to Texas and now jobless....Let's go get him!!!

This goes along with my "control the boosters" post. We are not qualified to pick a coach

Why do we care if the Dallas UT fan base loves him?

No OC. MAYBE a QB but that would never fly upstairs.

No reason to do that. Lots of good candidates.

Report about Major Applewhite applying for the #SMU job is interesting to say the least. - EJ Holland

Looks like 1/2 of AppleBowden is willing. For what its worth. I have not seen a WDNWHA post about him yet.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. It's not like any of them will show up at Ford.
