wasn't good enough to play at SMU...but

Post by Insane_Pony_Posse »

Gehrig Dieter couldn't play for SMU because of the half-wit Jason Phillips Houston offensive coordinator June hired from the Coogs....but Gehrig Dieter made the Alabama Crimson Tide and now just caught a pass for the KC Chiefs in an NFL Playoff game.

Wasn't the story just that Phillips didn't get along with him? You know you're destined to be a great coach when you can't get along with your players lol

It happens. Then you suck. Then the kid leaves, dominates, and makes you look like a total fool.

What about the guys who are in the NFL that were good enough to play at SMU and we have nothing to show for it other than a few Hawaii bowl wins? We have over 20 players that played over the last few years that are in the NFL.

Thank you. A waste of talent. JJ should have found a way to make it work over Phillips' issues.

Phillips was a complete disaster. Dreadful coach here.

Dieter was the wrong color for Phillips.
