Where do we think SMU lands in terms of attractiveness to available coaches (assume we're talking about a known coach that might generate some buzz)?

fellas, it all depends on the money. We could be #1 most desirable destination if we payed $6 million/yr

not sure that we are above USM and Houston, unless we are prepared to offer more money. Those 2 teams have fan support and just played for title.

yeah, except USM won't be in an AQ conference in 2013. that gives a new coach a year to work out any kinks, and get going in the Big East.

Looks like we'll find a coach quickly. Anyone wish we would've interviewed RichRoad or Leach now?

Here is my list with the Big East announcement coming tonight:
1) TAMU
2) UCLA
3) Illinois
4) Kansas
5) SMU
6) Houston (likely)
7) Southern Miss

Fresno St.
9) Colorado St
Honestly, with our facilities and money committed for the IPF, we are on par with Kansas probably.

We are going to offer more money than houston for a coach, have better facilities. And Southern Miss is not in a BCS conference. SMU is ahead of both of those schools.
