Of course the first thing he did was fire our current DC who was the best we had since the DP.

Maybe he can get the Houston job. Entertaining the thought of Van as the next SMU coach is absurd.

And what type of annual salary do you propose we pay him, SMT?

$1.5M - Use the $3.2M of Baylor buyout money to surround him with an outstanding offensive staff.

1) $1.5M is overpaying him
2) I want a $2M hire, stakes are too high

I don't see anything about this via google, and if NBC is the only reporting it then I don't believe them.

I remember a report from the beginning of the HCCM days, perhaps seen on ponyfans, that CM had ordered a trophy case in which a future National Championship trophy was to be displayed. I don't know if the purchase was actually made. If so, I hope that he offers to buy it and take it to Baylor with him and certainly think SMU should let it go at cost, perhaps wrapped with a red and blue ribbon.
I understand that money talks but wonder if he will dicker for a "no buyout" clause should ATM offer in a year or two.

Links to the trophy story, just to remind us what a farce coach-speak has become:

Guys, finding a Gary Patterson that is willing to stay at a G5 school is not really going to happen. TCU won the lottery. Get used to this.
