Whaddya think? A little pompous, yeah. But maybe that ego would mesh well with him thinking he needs a gig like AD. And you know he'd make football a priority. Oh, and wasn't he a business major?

Hey, he does live in Celina too...so he's close by anyway...plus maybe a little bit of that football magic up there in 2A Celina will have rubbed off and bring the Ponies a little luck.

Maybe we could at least recruit his son? I hear he is a good player for Celina.

Are you kidding?! Besides, he has a pretty good gig at CBS. I doubt we could top that salary.

Actually, he's with ESPN, he was doing the N. Texas game last night. They had Hayden Fry on for a moment and Craig interviewed him. I don't know what he's making there. I would have my doubts about Craig as an AD. There is a whole lot more to AD than many realize. Negotiating contracts for games, dealing with Conference competition issues, arranging for sponsors of non-revenue competitions (like the Mi Cocina soccer tournament) and of course scheduling for all sports. He would need a guy like a Jim Copeland to do all of that.

Tom Smykowski: It's a "Jump to Conclusions mat". You see, you have this mat, with different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.

Michael Bolton: That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life, Tom.

Samir: Yes, this is horrible, this idea.
