We did well last time we hired a DC as our head coach! Oh wait........

Of course the first thing he did was fire our current DC who was the best we had since the DP.

Maybe he can get the Houston job. Entertaining the thought of Van as the next SMU coach is absurd.

B/c fast failure is a sure fire recipe for future failure

And what type of annual salary do you propose we pay him, SMT?

$1.5M - Use the $3.2M of Baylor buyout money to surround him with an outstanding offensive staff.

1) $1.5M is overpaying him

2) I want a $2M hire, stakes are too high

I don't see anything about this via google, and if NBC is the only reporting it then I don't believe them.

Got to find a coach who will STAY here-period.

I remember a report from the beginning of the HCCM days, perhaps seen on ponyfans, that CM had ordered a trophy case in which a future National Championship trophy was to be displayed. I don't know if the purchase was actually made. If so, I hope that he offers to buy it and take it to Baylor with him and certainly think SMU should let it go at cost, perhaps wrapped with a red and blue ribbon.

I understand that money talks but wonder if he will dicker for a "no buyout" clause should ATM offer in a year or two.

Links to the trophy story, just to remind us what a farce coach-speak has become:

Guys, finding a Gary Patterson that is willing to stay at a G5 school is not really going to happen. TCU won the lottery. Get used to this.

Morris: "Yep, getting a national championship is a tough mountain to climb but I love SMU, always has and we are going to get this program there. We've even got a place in our lobby for the trophy. Who is coming with me?!?

Players: "We are!!!"

Morris: "We are a family now, united in pursuing one goal. Okay, the first step is...*cell phone rings*...Hello?! Do I want the Baylor job? Of course! Always did!...bye!...later fellas, good luck!
