This guy is literally a gold mine and would be a really smart investment for head coach. Read the two articles:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nc ... e/1659819/

Also, Willie Fritz is 7-2 in Georgia Southern, his two losses vs P5 by less than 4 points and makes 300,000 a year...

Stitt would be a great "mind" to add to the staff; however, I would not want him running the entire show. With no ties to Texas or experience with a pressure packed job (which our job will be), I think the jump would be "too much."

Fritz could be a home run hire; however, Georgia Southern is winning with a run based offense. With 45 small WR's on our roster, we couldn't run that offense for a few years. If we hired him, he would probably need to hire an entirely different offensive staff from the Georgia Southern staff.

If we hired Fritz and an offensive staff capable of building an effective offense with our current roster, I would be happy.

I want to find a coach who is going to take their basic principles and tweak them to fit current personnel until they can recruit to fit their system. Basically do what a lot of folks were upset at June for not doing when he first came in here.

How can the SMU job be described as "pressure packed"? The Dallas media barely pays attention and the empty stands speak for themselves. The job has far more internal pressure than external.

To be great SMU is going to need a coach who won't take the job unless SMU commits to being great. In other words someone not like me who would take the job for millions just for the money and lose every game but be rich.

ghost- I will be your asst. coach for a measly 500k. I think I still remember a little single wing, wing-T, split-T and option T. :lol: :lol:

If he doesn't win big, it won't be tolerated by the powers that be.

At the Colorado School of Mines, they don't really care how Stitt does. They just don't want to be embarrassed.

There will be pressure anywhere for not winning. There will not be pressure at SMU like at top ranked P5 schools where it is national championship or go. Question is whether or not a coach can win at SMU. If he does it right he can.

Is that you June?
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

How do you define "win big"? Conference championships? Access bowl bids? Playoff invitations? Or are you saying the next coach will be fired if the team isn't 8-4 (or better) by 2017? 2018?

Exactly. SMU hasn't display a "win or else" mentality in 30+ years. You suddenly expect the school to change attitude for the next coach? What tangible indication of that have you seen?
