Morris' knocked it out of the Park with all his inexperienced Offensive hires

The Defensive Coaching Staff had 57 years of College Coaching experience including stops at Alabama, Texas A&M (2), Nebraska, Oklahoma St., Kansas. Most of them had a decade+ or so of coaching experience-most at the P5 level. The reality is that SMU's problems had more to do with lack of talent, inexperience and the fact that Morris only took about 6 defensive recruits in Year 1 and most of his defensive recruits were only Sophomores, redshirt freshman or freshman

I love when people don't think before spouting "Conventional Wisdom"



Sticks and stones.......you remind me of the "know it all" in the White House :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Mr. Know it All , I wasn't referring to years of experience or age. I was talking about the difference in the quality
of the individual coaches. Southlake Carroll vs. Alabama...........get it !

I'm really more concerned about the new staff and how well they will do. But a significant difference is bringing someone on the defensive side with experience as a defensive coordinator, and on a very good defense no less.

I have been excited to read all the good press that the Staff has received. I am most anxious to see what KK does with this defense. They certainly will be tested early next year against our stiff schedule. Looking forward to the Spring Game. Just sayin'.

Have they announced if there will be an actual spring game, as opposed too a public practice? Anyone know Sonny's preference on that?

Prepare yourself for copious amounts of field turf and an event center.

Will the diving platforms be included? They're still in place, although the pool be gone.
