What are the odds that SUPERCOACH exists, and why would he want to come to SMU
Probably less than the GREAT PUMPKIN from Peanuts."
PONYKRIS89 comment to add...This shows that the only way to win at SMU is to cheat like every other school. Just don't do it again after NCAA told ya that DP is in your future if it continues.
I am all for bending the rules to the same level as everyone else, but your comparison is silly. Thise other coaches had a much harder schedule.
Not silly, the #'s and correlation with probation bear that out.. But, I would agree, with SMU schedule recently, bending the rules has not been required and what we have is a program that is teetering at .500. Just saying the next coach doesn't have to be a choir boy.

Not so much. You consider the SWC back in those days were full of Rices, TCUs, Baylors, TTs A&Ms who were all bottomfeeders at one time or another. Texas even sucked before DKR
Old SWC did not have multiple teams lose to D1AA like the AAC. They also did not have UTEP's or Tulsane's to beat up on. I believe any decent coach given the low recruiting restriction that JJ has had would have done well at SMU. JJ mostly beat up on sub .500 teams to get where he is. Apples and oranges in the flexibility JJ has been given.
Most definitely a PIPEDREAM. But if the Steelers keep staying winless, and the Rooney family decides to make a mid-season change. Wouldn't mind Mike Tomlin. Although, my perception sees Mike as an NFL "lifer." Mike will probably take the Washington Redskins job, after "lil Danny" chitcans Mike Shanahan

Yeah, but the Rooney family have always been committed to their coaches, through thick and thin.

Careful....I remember a few seasons of Tulane, UTEP and UT-Arlingstons on SMU schedule back in the early 80's. Just saying.

Bill Cowher has a lot of emotion. But he is over 50 will no Texas ties, so he does not qualify.
However he may be coaching Aldrick Robinson and LeRibeus soon...

Talking about the SWC as a whole on a yearly basis. Recruiting restriction were a lot tougher on SMU then as well. Only June has been put in the position to succeed.

I graduated pre DP so I am pretty old as well but not a shill. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
