As a season ticket holder for smu/ark, I was confused by this hire when everyone called me. I thought smu had PJ and ark had whatever flavor of the week. I was told while I was at the tcu game, so as long as we won that game, I didn't really care.

Nahhhh. I think I'd rather shut er down.
I feel we should have never fired PB, Not based on anything other than we are SMU. PB should have never been hired, but we are SMU. We don't have a coach, but we are SMU. Who wants to coach here, we are SMU.
I promise you Orsini is floating his resume throughout this process. He did not know what he was getting into?
You're the best fan ever.
Please, I need sunglasses, you're blinding me with the sunshine. I might have to go over the the other board.

Then folks in Arkansas are not believing Grobe is their coach and will not until it is in place for a few days. They got stung with the BB coach from Creighton and still believe that Wkae will talk him into changing his mind.
And you are right Stallion. My wife told me she would not OK the pay cut for me to become SMU's coach, and yes MustangBill that $1,000,000 salary would force me to lower my MC donation.
The few folks I have talk to here in the great State of Arkyland are POed that Grobe is their coach. The folks here think that any coach in the country would give their Houston Nott to be the Arkyland coach. I think Grobe is a clever (and risky) pick so time will tell. But for now, the mood from the few faithful I have talked to is not pleasant.
