Coach Tom Mason to Hawaii
Tom Mason landed the Defensive Coordinator job at Hawaii...
About 25 feet from the Hillcrest track... With the boots so tall and the writing on the wall...

At least he can stop whining about not being able to get another job!

Congrats to the coach and good luck in his new job.

Re: Coach Tom Mason to Hawaii
I concur. I am glad we had Coach Mason. I am sure this last season was tough on him too. Time for us all to move on and upwards.
Go Ponies!

I guess all the "Mason is not a June-ite" excuse makers were wrong. Mason deserves to be head coach, indeed.

Re: Coach Tom Mason to Hawaii
Anyone have a summary of where the other members of the previous staff landed? Are any of them around Dallas or even in Texas?

Nice that Hawaii could get someone with Pacific Ocean recruiting knowledge.
I do wish Coach Mason good luck for the future.

Hey, he might get to be an interim HC three times, twice in two years.

I've been curious about that as well. Hadn't see the news about Mason, but good for him. As for the others, the only ones I know about:
* Morrison - Retired
* Odum - DB coach at Oregon State (http://www.osubeavers.com/SportSelect.d ... SID=750127)

Re: Coach Tom Mason to Hawaii
I am very pleased Coach Mason got a DC position. I do think he is HC material. Just not here (too much association with previous coaching staff). Mason had a vision for SMU very different from Jones. He worked hard in a horrid situation and some of the guys he and his staff recruited were in clouded by Morris. So he didn't abandon SMU while interim. coach.

Until I see evidence otherwise, I'm working under the assumption that Tom Mason was a good man caught in a [deleted] situation.
Thanks Coach and good luck.

Texas bites. Baylor sucks. As it was in the beginning, is now, and evermore shall be. Amen.
