krapthorpe =WORST MISTAKE IN SMU HISTORY

He was there for 3 years. Did it with someone elses players. Recruiting is what I see as SMU's biggest problem. Something I think most of you aren't recognizing.

I love it how a coach isn't good enough for Louisville is money for us.

And he lost to Bennett which isn't good at all!

What pisses me of is Krag is something that started in this chat room based on a 20 questions hint from thecollegerumormill.com. nothing more. I hope Krapthorpe goes to jail so this deal will fail. I used to be gung-ho bennett. Never thought I would have to fall back on Barnett, but right now barrnett is looking like Belecheck

he lost to Bennett but also won a conference championship and took a 1-10 team (sound familiar) and made it a 8-4 team the next year?

I would love a big name coach that is a constant winner but realistically we aren't goign to get one so how about getting a coach who turned a program located in a small [deleted] town like Tulsa into a winner?

UH.............Realisticaly we can get Barnett. Only problem is people like you who want a garbage coach.

I would love to get Barnett, but Kragthorpe is not a garbage coach.

can you explain your reasoning behind that?

And just so we can put the stupid Krag is only a couple games above .500, so is Barnett (85-82).

And never mind that Barnett very nearly got Colorado's program shut down for misconduct.

Typical SMU Coach Search: Exciting names get thrown around, proven coaches want to come here, and we go the let's give a nice unproven guy a shot rout. Come on, at this stage in SMU Football history, is it really worth taking this kind of risk?

MY issue with Krapthorpe is the following:

1. Lacks Big Name (for recruiting)

2. Only History is 3 ok years at Tulsa

3. Being run out of a modern Big East team

Couldn't the same be said of Tommy Bowden?

i guess if you look past the fact hes a proven winner, especially in CUSA, won a CUSA title, has taken a gutter team to the top...i guess he can be a garbarge coach

PUT DOWN THAT CRACK PIPE WHITNEY!!!

Just know J.T., that by supporting Krapthorpe you had a small part in the downfall of SMU Football.
