HAH, I forgot about that. Embarrassing refence to the magnificent seven class that totally bombed.

However, I do give SMU props to marketing back then. We had the video, the posters, I even have a RoboDoh necklace they gave out one game. I may put it up on ebay.

Doherty: A Retrospective

Doherty Takes Over at SMU

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — SMU hired former national coach of the year Matt Doherty on Monday to try reviving a program that hasn't gone to the NCAA tournament in 13 years.

Doherty signed a five-year deal, but terms weren't disclosed. Doherty, coming off a 15-13 season at Florida Atlantic, replaces Jimmy Tubbs, who was fired April 6 after two losing seasons and an internal investigation that uncovered NCAA violations.

"I look at this as a destination job," Doherty said. "I didn't want to take a job to take another job."

Doherty, who won a national championship as a player for North Carolina, broke into coaching with Notre Dame in 1999-2000. He took over the Tar Heels the next season and earned the coach of the year award from The Associated Press for going 26-7 and winning a share of the regular-season ACC title.

North Carolina missed the NCAA field the next two years, and Doherty resigned under pressure in April 2003. He worked as a television analyst for two years, then spent this past season at Florida Atlantic.

Doherty's high profile should be a boost for SMU, which hasn't made the NCAA tournament since 1993.

Sometimes the grandiose statements, hype and self promotion doesn't pan out. Hopefully we learned our lesson and will get a strong coach who can motivate his team, have the patience to actually coach them through tough times, while having fun playing the game they love.
