Check this Coach's Resume

[Houston Pony]

What would you guys think of hiring a guy with the following credentials:

-Standout collegian at a D-I powerhouse
-3-Time Pro Bowler in the NFL, with 2 Super Bowl Rings
-2 years as a defensive coordinator at a D-I school, with appearances in the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl
-7 years as a defensive coordinator with an NFL team that went to 2 Super Bowls during his tenure
-A few years as a radio analyst for an NFL team
-Connections out the wazoo in the Metroplex
-An eagerness to lead SMU as a coach, with innovative ideas as a recruiter, coach and motivator

I think it sounds like a slam dunk. What do you guys think?

[Dirty Bird]

I think it sounds great! But who is this guy you're talking about?

[Big Baby HayZeus]

Yeah, who the rock is this guy? Is he as good as Tom Rossley?

[Grider]

I give, who are we talking about? I'm going to guess Charlie Waters.

I think it is Charlie Waters.

[Houston Pony]

Correct-a-mundo. Charlie Waters it is. I'm telling you, the guy will be a great recruiter AND be able to call a good game. Think of all the good ole boy hike school coaches he'll impress. They'd get a chance to talkchalk with an honest-to-goodness Cowboys hero.
And he turned around an Oregon team back in the mid-1990's, and took them to the Rose bowl. The Gang-Green defense I believe is what they called it.

[Mickey]

He turned the Oregon program around. The HC had nothing to do with it.

Will players remember Charlie Waters? Sure, their parents will. But when I talked to Houston Pony a little while ago, I mentioned that Charlie Waters might be about the same in recruits' minds as, say, Night Train Lane. We all know he was a great player, but we're not too familiar beyond that. Waters was a great player, but personally I'd like to see someone with head coaching experience, too. Give me Doug Williams.

Has he interviewed yet? How do you know he wants the job?
