Rick Hart

Post by LA_Mustang »

Rick Hart followed Sonny around OUR campus during our last football game and chastised any SMU fan who taunted him. Hart knew Sonny was going to our biggest rival and Sonny later tried to take all of our coaches and best players. Yet our AD defended him until the end. The fact he is still our AD disgusts me. And he has allowed Jank to run our basketball program in the ground, which I hate more than the Sonny bs. It is so bad on both fronts.

But hey, he got us in a league with UTSA, UNT and Rice. Great job, Rick. You're the best.

Another fact, in Rick HartΓÇÖs 10 years as AD SMU hasnΓÇÖt won a bowl game or a NCAA tournament game. And did I mention he defended our HC against OUR fans who he knew was going to our arch rival? Oh and he allowed Larry Brown to walk.

and even sadder is that our admin. permits this. nothing will happen to little ricky and worse he will probably give tank-ovich a new outlandish contract instead of a boot to the backside.

Lil Ricky strives for mediocrity. Unfortunately he is accountable to no one and nothing. ThatΓÇÖs why he can pi#s all over fans and take his elitist approach to mistreating the fan base and being tone deaf. He needs to move on and should be ashamed of himself.

IsnΓÇÖt Hart among the highest paid ADs in the American? If so, how do you justify this? S :roll:

I don't know how AAC ADs rank, but I can't see them equal to P5. https://athleticdirectoru.com/2021-ad-c ... on-survey/

Speaking of Hart, it is interesting to see how the SMU AD job is viewed compared to the rest of the league. https://athleticdirectoru.com/articles/ ... -american/

Little Ricky also brokered the deal to allow the Charlotte 49ers, Florida Atlantic and UAB....don't sell him ...short.

nothing is going to happen until lil rickey is gone. we all know that probably won't happen anytime soon. and with our strong commitment to being totally mediocre we can kiss any chance of moving to a P5 opportunity goodbye.

Only when one of the big$$ boosters steps up and says 'enough is enough, make changes or forget my financial support will something happen.
