Glad Secules is staying. He's a good guy.

Appalachian State University's mistake is our gain.

For Scott's sake, I am sorry he did not get the job, but for our sake, I am glad he didn't. Talk about mixed emotions.

Since Copeland brought him here, do you think he might be the replacement for Jim when he retires?

[SMUguy]

I'd be willing to bet no such decision has been made. I'm sure that whenever Copeland decides to retire, a search will be conducted. Secules might well be a candidate, but there's no way a decision about Copeland's successor has been made at this point.

We don't need to hire another spare. We need to land a "Hyman-type" to hit the Hilltop runnin', run-off some of the "hangers-on", raise the bar, and institute a high level of accountability. Now, whether you can get a high calibur individual to touch the SMU situation with a 10-foot pole is another question.
