Post by AustinPerson »

Who were the notable names for the SMU jobs when those guys got the job? Anyone we really missed on? And don't say Charlie Waters

Curious what the list would have looked like had there been 2M / yr on the table at the time Cavan and Bennett were hired. I thought Cavan was a great hire at the time, but never thought Bennett was head coach material.

We are in a better position now and would get better candidates in my opinion. Whenever that time comes.
