It looks like Trey Haverty is the first addition to the staff.

Finally some actual news on this haha. All this talk about Klemm was making me sick.

Thoughts? I'll reserve judgement and see what others think.

As I remember he got great reviews at TCU but poor reviews at Texas Tech--well known name with Big 12 experience though

Maybe TCU and Tech fans can supplement

27 years of P5 experience- 5 years in Texas at UT during Mack Brown era

Sounds great. Having P5 experience definitely helps the resume. From my perspective on the defensive side of things, there's nowhere else to go but up.

Kennedy joined the Colorado staff from the University of Texas, where he spent seven seasons (2004-10) as wide receivers coach, the last six as the assistant recruiting coordinator.

I would love to see Coach Tom Mason back at SMU. While he was here he did a great job and put many players in the NFL. Our defense was a lot better then and the players loved him. He is a great man and coach and he would be happy to be at SMU!

That's tons of experience, especially as recruiting coordinator during some of those good Mack Brown years

Well, a little nervous with this bit of information regarding the recent hire of Trey Haverty: "Prior to his season in Austin, the Richardson, Texas native spent the 2016 season as Lamar University's defensive coordinator. Haverty's 4-2-5 defense gave up 419.3 yards per game and gave up 42 touchdowns on the year before Lamar fired HC Ray Woodard last November." That doesn't sound good and Lamar is in an easier conference...

Well, he's going to be the safety coach, not the DC. Some guys are just better position coaches. Ex. Van Malone.

As long as he's a specific positions coach I'm not too concerned. If this was for DC I'd be losing my [deleted].

[SMU_Alum11]

Good to hear then. The DC and OC are going to be really watched. Any ideas who they're going to be? I'm sure he's scouring the G5 looking for potential candidates who would leave their school for ours.

[ponyinNC]

I have to believe Harrel is targeted for OC. Step up in conference, pay, and he knows Dykes.

As for DC, we heard Akina in some other posts, right?
