Ever heard Briles say he had leverage?

Ever heard ANY Big 12 coach intimate that about his employer?

Why does SMU put up with this crap?
Why did SMU put up with the ASU mess?

I hope not because he already put us down publicly during the ASU fiasco and RGT accepted him back. Now he is doing it again.

[SMU 86]

Usually a coach signs a deal and then the public is notified. Most of the time the coach never tells the public anything about negotiations. And they sure do not say anything that would put the school they are working for in a bad light while negotiating.

Well said - ojai!!!

Kinda shows u what RGT really thinks of the football program.

SMU hasn't, doesn't, and will not engage in public mudslinging with its employees. Why this comes as a shock to anyone is a shock itself. Wait until the school acts, then draw your own conclusion.
