As the Defensive Coordinator, I bet that drove him crazy.

Finally my prayers have been answered. I hope the players are ready for A&M and put up a fight!

I'm happy to see Coach Mason stepping up. Any chance he gets a HC gig after the season?

We beat TAMU and TCU and he'll be our HC by the first of October.

I'd speculate that his only shot would come if he had the players looking great on the field, scored some quality commitments, and salvaged the season with a bowl win--pretty unlikely. Mason wouldn't be the splash hire I suspect SMU is looking for, so he would have to show he's the man in convincing fashion.
Hitting in practice is a great start to win back fans and distance himself from 'more of the same' fears--I'd love to see the boys playing high energy football next Saturday. I hope everybody stands behind the team regardless of results at this point.

Most people I talked to are happy they can support the team no matter what happens on Saturdays then have to be yelling for a coach to leave. Think it worked out for the best.
