Morris might be Patterson's worst nightmare. A smart, hardworking coach who will recruit the best players for his system to win football games and prepare them for the NFL while holding them to the higher standards as a student athlete. Sounds the same but there are two big differences...Morris will do it without abusing the players verbally and physically and secondly Morris has the SMU campus and the bright lights of the city of Dallas. An internationally known city with so much to do compared to a very nice mid-sized city in Cowtown and the Stockyards. Which would appeal to you if you were a recruit?

We got a long way to go before Morris is Patterson's worst nightmare. We'd have to be piling on wins over TCU (you know, that one school down the road about to go into a 4-team playoff) and beating them on specific recruits each year.

Maybe if Morris ever gets the job at UT.

So how exactly is Chad going to magically make SMU more relevant than TCU and get recruits away from TCU? I actually support a continued game with SMU, but some of you guys are delusional. We arent in the same conference, SMU has not won a game this year and TCU is fighting for a National Championship. I am happy yall finally have a coach that might actually give a sheet about the program. June was a leach and bad for business, but you cant think the changes will just magically happen over night. Hell Chad hasnt even started the job yet and you are already dreaming. As for the OP. I cant imagine there wont be a little bit of shared work between CGMFP and Chad.

To spell it out for you guys.

First you have to win your conference
Next you have to win some good OOC games and your conference
Then you need your Athletic Department to start putting some serious money towards the program
Somewhere in there you need to KEEP the coach that gets you winning.
Finally you need to get in the national conversation.

when you get to this point, I think you could START to talk about taking recruits from TCU.

Ummmmm..... You realize that SMU would not be the FIRST school in an internationally known city right? TCU already recruits against Texas, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Notre Dame, USC, Miami, Florida, etc. Dallas has always been a huge, fun city. The thing that will sell recruits is SMU not sucking it at the bottom of your league. As for Coach Patterson abusing players, you are way off base. If you are scared of a coach yelling at players, you never played football. At least be realistic.

frog prince - don't really disagree with any of that - there is nothing but work ahead and Morris hasn't done a thing yet. But you cant blame us for being excited about seeing someone fired up to do the job instead of what we have had around here. So excuse our day or two of exuberance

That said - I think you are putting too much weight on accomplishments when it comes to recruiting. Recruits don't always make the obvious decision, and there are many recruits who will be convinced being a big fish in a smaller pond is best for their chances - so I would expect there will be some wins in the SMU column vs TCU in recruiting from time to time. Not that often until we get through your list, but we will win a few a year with this staff.

Hoping to be relevant and have an actual rivalry with the toads again.

Ghost, you actually, really, honestly think that Dallas being "an internationally known city" is going to influence the football choice of an 18 year old football player? Actually, really, honestly?

Your coach is a fat, sweaty, classless POS and you're about to be taken out behind the wood shed by Coach Morris. Dallas is INFINITELY better than Ft Worthless and no amount of Iowa State fans trampling your ugly campus is going to improve that image for recruits. You've been given enough of a head start. It's on biatches.

Is it possible to read frogprince's rantings and even consider pulling for the Frogs?

TCU and Ft Worth have a well-earned and time-tested inferiority complex.

Exactly about the inferiority complex, which is why they never want us to be in a conference with them. Even playing field, we destroy the little reptiles.

What the hell is wrong with that crying toad that just posted here? You are in your rivals fan forum, what did you expect? Of course we will recruit vs TCU and eventually start beating you and turning the record our way. TCU can go to hell for all I care. GO MUSTANGS!

TCU is on the verge of making the CFP and their fans still feel the need to create an account here and talk smack.

Their inferiority complex knows no bounds
