footballdad = helicopterdad

HaHa, sticks and stones....truth hurts doesn't it? Are you really that bothered about this MBA ranking? I didn't create it, but call me names if it makes you feel better.

Better get our your checkbook and get to the stadium for some football games before SMU falls further behind. Spread the word to some of your alumni friends.

Can't wait until junior is out of here so that you will stop making this forum exponentially dumber with each post.

The chirps...

We are running a real university here, so yes the rankings of our bell cow schools are important.

Wasn't it just 5 to 10 yrs ago that thr economist ranked cox within the top 25 programs - & now over 80??? LOL!

Just another reason why polls & ranking are hilarious & useless more times than not.

Was your son one of JJ's infamous" Diamond in the Rough" recruits?

That's all I've read from this goof. Get a life my man...stay off the threads.

Leave poor footballdad alone. After all, his kid was at an SEC school for a recruiting trip once and he ended up at SMU. I'm sure he is really sad about everything that has happened since his kid chose SMU, and that explains the level of tripe that emanates from his fingers to the keys. Or, he could be really exceptional, and the keys are just mixed up on his computer?!?

Over the last four years, the trend is flat for UT, strongly improving for Rice, flattish for TCU after getting adding in 2012 and slighlty declining for SMU. Cox was #79 in 2011 and #86 in 2014 after #93 in 2013.

Opportunity areas relative to other TX schools:
1. Employment within three months of graduation
2. Recruiter diversity
3. Career service center (personal development and educ. experience)
4. Student quality and diversity
5. % salary improvement vs. pre-MBA position

Good areas:
1. Faculty
2. Networking potential
3. Alumni network

Therefore, it seems that the recent career center tumult is a big part of the decline. Earlier this fall, I heard the new director (Asian-American?) and her staff and they seemed upbeat and well equipped for future success. However, it will be a journey. Well, I just looked it up and apparently Kim Austin (the exec director of Cox MBA's career services) has been there since 2010 out of BYU-Hawaii. More confusion. Dean Niemi, rather than creating a bunch of new programs, how about putting some serious $$ into career services? Seems like SMU is grabbing the Cox cash and maybe using it to fund athletics.

[Mustangs_Maroons]

Niemi should be thanked for his work ans told to retire. Can't think of any dean at a top business school being there as long as niemi has at cox. Have felt for years we've needed a new dean to take us to the next level.

Been thinking about emailing RGT. Many times we only voice our displeasure over sports but deans should also feel the pressure from alums.

[gostangs]

Agree. It's time for al to go.

[friarwolf]

I have beat this drum for years. Niemi has been ineffective in raising our rankings. The quality of the students has been rising since the late '90's and our rankings has consistenly slipped. The biggest complaint I have regarding Turner is he will not hold his deans accountable. He will not make a move until the money starts drying up. Cox should be inside the top 30 schools............

I've heard that RGT is stepping down at the end of 2015. He wants to see the Unbridled Campaign through to its end and that'll be his lasting legacy here.

Did Princeton Review just release a new set of rankings?

I saw an article that they have been released but I didn't see it listed.
