My god if SMU fans are really this damn dumb it's no wonder your Football Progam is in the shape it's in!! If ya'll get Johnson SMU will be in it's first bowl game in 20 some years next season bank on it!!!

We are actually very smart. It is just that most of us think football is a game played only with your feet. Make note of our only All Conference player.

I was so nervous over the Chan Gailey rumor I am jumping for joy over Coach Johnson.

Gailey..NFL connects...took the Pokes to the playoffs both years he coached..class act..recruited and had success at a "high academic" school..kicked [deleted] at troy years ago, I think..could get in living rooms..."SMU Hies Former Cowboy Head Coach", pretty decent headline...college QB with a solid defensive mind...name recognition....WINS!!...I would be happy with Chan.

Yeah but do you remember that team? It was clearly on the tail end of it's championship era not to mention it was a victim of the poor drafts that Jerruh had engineered beforehand(does Eric Bjornson ring a bell?) that left the team decimated, not to mention that the salary cap hindered them to make any kind of moves.
