Chit Chatted With One of Jimmy Sextons's

"Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red" Macbeth Quote (Act II, Sc. II).

So, it's Jim Leavitt? The Green One? Worked for Hayden Fry.

have given suck, and know
How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me:
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums,
And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you
Have done to this.
Macbeth, 1. 7

right?

staffers at a networking event last evening. By the way, this young lady had to be one of the absolute most beautiful women I have ever seen, knockout..ah, to be a coach / athlete...anyway..what do you do, where are you from, etc., etc...I told her I was an SMU alum and did she have any knowledge / feel on who our new hire was going to be, she did not. I explained that I lived in Jimmy's neighborhood and sort of knew him, etc., etc..the next thing she does is call him up, right there, to ask Jimmy what he knew about the SMU pursuit / hire...left him a message. Well, Jimmy did not call back, but we exchanged cards and I told her, jokingly, if Jimmy calls, let me know....well, about 45 minutes ago, I got the most interesting e-mail from this babe.....folks, if this info is correct, I would say wow in small caps, not going to blow us away, but a name, solid credentials, we could do worse, an upgrade as far as I am concerned...and a guy who would probably stay around for 5-7 years...so, I am somewhat encouraged / optimistic....Long LIve Red McLain.

FordtoTolbert, I guess the questions to ask, since you may have the name: (1) Is he an NFL coach or college coach?, (2) If college, is he coaching in a bowl game?, and (3) when would you expect SMU to announce assuming it is after the bowl game or playoffs? Doesn't have to be the exact day after, but an indication of the time frame we are looking at would suffice.

Your quote left me an opening to poke some fun at your expense MrMustang1965. Mistakes will happen!

characters from Macbeth:

Duncan - King of Scotland
Malcolm - Duncan's elder son.
Donalbain - Duncan's younger son.
Macbeth - A general in the army of King Duncan.Thane of Glamis.
Lady Macbeth - Macbeth's wife.
Banquo - Macbeth's friend and a general in the army of King Duncan.
Fleance - The son of Banquo.
Macduff - The Thane of Fife.
Lady Macduff - Macduff's wife.
Macduff's Son
Lennox - A Scottish lord.
Ross - A Scottish lord.
Angus - A Scottish lord.
Mentieth - A Scottish lord.
Caithness - A Scottish lord.

Is it BOBBY ROSS??? former army coach?? that would be 3 for 3 with the service academies?

I have two other ideas. (These are just guesses guys based upon the hint given. Tony Dungy is one idea because his last name could be short for Dungeon. (Obviously out of the question.)

The other one could be Scott Linehan since his first name obviously fits the location of the play. Scott has been a head coach with the Rams for 2 years and is in some trouble this year primarily because half his team has incurred unexpected injuries, especially his offensive line, which was supposed to be a real strength for the team this year. He also has extensive experience coaching at the college level. The fans in St. Louis want to have his head on a platter and he might be looking for a place to go before that happens even though their GM (Shaw) has given him the infamous VOTE OF CONFIDENCE!

Oh..I'm sorry...ya know...after putting up with so much sophomoric crap on this board over the last 2-3 weeks concerning our hire, unreal stuff..I have been embarassed to be an SMU alum..drain pipes, dog walkings and spotting some plane tail #'s, Supperior this, Paterno that, what about Jimmy Johnson, etc., etc., etc..complete bull [deleted], really. I am going to sit on this for a bit ..."BS, FtL, you ain't got nothing!!" Ok..I got zero....all I know is, I spoke to a staffer of one of the biggest coaching agents in the country, who followed up with some info....name to follow, folks. In the meantime, HOW 'Bout them Cowboys!! Long Live Charleston Pony.

Just getting around to reading this thread this morning, and I was a bit surprised by your "embarassment to be an SMU alum". I think you have to put things in perspective, so let me help you do that:

1) The folks on this board and SMU alums are not the only ones wondering why this search is taking so long (see thread entitled "coaches on the hot seat blog entry - SMU" as an example). The length of this search could definitely prove embarassing depending on who we hire.
2) SMU alums are embarassed that SMU football has been nothing more than a punchline since the DP. Especially this past season where we started getting a little more press, only to have everyone seen us fail miserably at 1-11.
3) With important decisions, people usually have very strong opinions. In that sense, it's been good to see all the posts on this board. It shows that there are people out there who actually give a damn about this school and this program. Have some of them been a little over the top? Absolutely. But unfortunately the internet provides a forum for people to sometimes type up things they wouldn't say face-to-face (myself included).

So let's hold off a little on the "holier than thou" attitude and cut everyone a break.

...Thane of Glamis....I can't lay it out there any more than that, fellas. Long Live Herb Zimmerman.

So let's hold off a little on the "holier than thou" attitude and cut everyone a break.

A good number of SMU alums...in addition to a fair number of SMU students (those I encounter) and a clear majority of the population of Collin County (at least those I encounter and engage in a nonscientific survey) could really care less and are at lthe most somewhat amused that SMU does in fact still play football and that those of us that care hold out some hope that we'll have a 'big name' coach.

Folks that care (us) and those folks whose job it is to comment on college football are pretty much the only people who have an opinion one way or another about how this search is going, IMO. Want an example? Steve O tells Kate (I'm guessing) and Norm "no comment until we hire a guy" and instead of repeated attempts (that is, going past two or three levels of resistance...those that do negotiations know what I'm talking about), the media outlets instead say "ummm. Okay...." And no more has been written or said since. No conjecture. No speculation. Nothing. And no, I'm not saying the DMN has an anti SMU bias. I'm saying the DMN doesn't care, and the only buzz we get is that which we create.

My apologies for the runon sentence.
