The M.O. is clear with Morris. We're going to be young and hungry. Young and hungry will outwork old and tired every day of the week.

Ahem, except for LB.

LB is neither old or tired. At this rate LB has at least 70-80 more years.


I think Coach Brown has the same unique medical condition as Benjamin Button...he keeps getting younger.

LB seems to be the perfect storm: "brand name/experience but with the energy and hunger of a young guy". Extremely rare, but required to take a program top 25 quickly. LB has already done his job, up to SMU to keep it going. Of course, I don't think LB would agree with that yet. We had a setback in recruiting (Eman and all the locals jumping ship to aTm), but we need to keep moving forward this year and get a big or 2 for next year (I'm really liking the 2015 class so far actually when you think about them teaming with Nic and Keeeith).

Anyway, back to football: I think a youth movement is needed here at this point. A bit risky, but probably the right move.

You always like to hire someone other teams hate to lose (yes, I'm Captain Obvious).

Larry Brown is the exception to the rule and like others have said he surrounded himself with a staff of young guys that all want to be head coaches. Larry might be the youngest 72 year old man on the planet.
Back off Warchild seriously.

What does OSU run, a 4-3 or a 3-4? Anyone know what Van Malone has been associated with for the most part?

I was just listening to "the roar" clemson talk radio show, they had Chad on and asked what his scheme would be......posted in another thread but here you go: He wants to be aggressive with multiple looks, get after it, hard work, but the base would be a 4 2 5

Need to do a lot of defensive recruiting.

I believe Clemson runs a 4-2-5. Correct me if I'm wrong

Van Malone should help #SMU pull some big-time recruits from the Houston-area. Began his coaching career at Houston Waltrip. #txhsfb

I'm assuming Morris will focus more on the offense and that his DC is a guy Chad has a lot of confidence in. Not sure how long he may have known Malone or what their connection is
