really think we need a coach who knows Texas and has a lot of h.s. coaching connections. With a new staff next year will probably be a total rebuilt- wash, rinse, repeat.

Patterson is probably not going to do better than SMU - age and he is known as a pain the rear. He also would not have to uproot his life - maybe a Dallas apartment, but keep his nice home and life in Ft. Worth. There are probably some better candidates, but not that many. The problem is there are about to be a lot of openings and really not that many great candidates.

Chadwell at Coastal is a good coach, but he does not have Texas experience.

Exactly.

I actually really like the Deion Sanders plus keeping Samples idea. Deion will bring a national spotlight to a program that is looking to make the next step forward. He is a naturally good recruiter and has had success at Jackson State (currently 10-1 and atop their division). I know he might be loud and over the top but we need someone like that. I am so tired of seeing our team come out completely flat in big games. Just needs to higher solid coordinators and I think he can really take SMU to the next level.

it will be like jimmy tubbs in basketball

Someone whose name hasn't been mentioned, is there a reason? Sonny Cumbie may be looking for a job soon. If you offered him $4.0 Million/year to coach SMU, I'd bet he would take it. I'm with BUS though, I hope Sonny Dykes stays, he seems to have a good handle on the transfer portal.

Where did Jimmy coach in college?

Kendal Briles knows Texas. Could he recruit a top notch staff? Lebbie at Ole Miss?

Still like the GP idea. Plus- I would enjoy knowing that tc-who is paying part of his salary while coaching against them. how ironic.

KB may be good but not sure we want somebody previously associated with rape-U.

No thanks to anyone named Briles.

No thank you. He has more faces than a pair of dice.

Add to list.
