Larry Fedora

[SMU Football Blog]

Personally, if SMU hired Fedora, I would be excited. Moreso than some of the other names thrown out here. The guy has had an offense that has been creative and dominating at times and is a proven recruiter. He is young and he has the all-important "Texas ties." We would have snapped him away from a conference rival.

I know some people say we have proven that a coordinator cannot succeed at SMU. I disagree. We have proven that Phil Bennett cannot succeed at SMU.

It's hard to say this without sounding rude (not my intent), but: Good for you.

I won't say that I'm officially done with SMU Football if this @ss clown is hired, because I could never do that, but I will have emotionally checked out.

Wait. So if we literally swooped in and took a coach away from a conference rival, that would be of no interest?

FYI: Les Miles isn't coming to SMU, LSU fan.

To answer your question: No.

And I never expected a Les Miles to come to SMU. I expect a good hire. That is not just someone who can coach X's and O's, but someone who can excite the fan base and who brings instant awareness/credibilty to SMU from recruits to former fans to the general masses.

Mrydel, A+, funny stuff. I just about choked on my gum...

...maybe BRStang should support changes to the Model that would make the SMU job more attractive to Division 1A head coaches with a proven tract record before blaming Orsini.

Doubt very seriously if Mike Locksley would even give SMU the time of day...being in Maryland, I hear a little about him in Terps circles...he is definitely in line for a head coaching job, but much more likely on the east coast and probably at a BCS school...his top recruiting base is in the MD/VA/DC area, where he grew up...plus he knows all the HS coaches here, having been Recruiting Coordinator at Maryland...just my two cents.

I do, to the extent changes to the "model" need to be made. I have just asked for evidence, other than pointing to a lack of a p.e.-type major (which I support adding), that we don't allow in the same type of student-athletes as a TCU or a BYU, etc. You have still not provided that.
