Hey, it was worth a shot.

stevie bet his wad and ended up with a fistful of crap.. Most decent coaches have already changed.
We do not need a second class coach from a third class school in the sunbelt to coach at our first class university.

Can you recite the amount of success this program has attained over the last 20 years? It shouldn't take long.

Keep it real, Red.

Great effort on trying to get Buzz - while you guys are kicking around Milwaukee, you may want check out the coach on the east side - Rob Jeter of UW-Milwaukee...

Yes. Because SMU could not hire Buzz Williams, it will no longer try to improve its basketball program. Matt Doherty will be rehired in order to save time.

No actually we just hired him as a bomber pilot for our next bomb on Hiroshima- hope you are there to watch it.

There is a coach I would like to see SMU send feelers out to. He's been a head coach the last 5 years{ albeit, a weaker conference}. Before that, he was an assistant to Pitino at Louisville in the Big East Conference. Last time I checked, Pitino's coaching tree has had success heading up major programs. Billy Donavan(UF) and Mick Cronin(UC) come to mind...And, those are the 2 that are off the top of my head.

Don't think SMU has Jeter in mind.

Seems to be following the football hire. Paul Johnson has turned us down so now we go get Jones. I am still excited about the possibilities.

Not sure we need another JJ. We need a coach who will and can recruit- not just sit back and cash his paycheck.

Delusional thinking that we had a shot at this guy to begin with.
