We aren't even conference mates yet and these morons can't stay off our board.  I used to think I wanted to be in a conference with them, but not so much now.

It is sad they we are such a threat and a rival in their eyes that they can't stay away.

I will have no problem booing McCasland harder then any coach I ever have if he goes to SMU.

I'm still just shocked that they have actual fans...or people pretending to be.  Looking at their game attendance would lead you to believe otherwise.

34-6-1.  I'm excited about UNT being in the AAC but for this thing to be a rivalry it would be nice for the game to be competitive at the start of the 4th quarter one of these years at Ford.

Didn’t SMU have a good year? Why would they fire their coach?

Jank has been the HC at SMU for 6 seasons and the program is stuck in neutral.  He's also a terrible recruiter and has alienated all of the big money boosters.  He was told NCAA tourney or you're gone after last season.  He knew what he had to do to keep his job and didn't get it done.  See ya.

Well, actually, Jank nor McCasland really fit the culture at SMU.

Like Larry Brown, Ron Meyer and Bill Clements?

Found some merit to this thread.  Mac did mention that he was hitting the recruiting trail starting today.  Probably a hand full of kids looking to transfer from smu worth looking at.

I’m ready to eat my words but I don’t see a world where Mac goes to SMU. Based on his various interviews and what I’ve heard from people that have personally interacted with him, he’s not the guy to leave for a quick buck. He’s very deliberate with his decisions and him turning down interest from P5s just to go to a wanna-be P5 would go against that. 
 

But I’ve been wrong before and ready to eat my words if he does go.

Jank is the basketball version of June Jones

A coach that comes in after the previous big time cheating....starts to have some success....then SMU starts remembering how much they actually won while cheating and say "hey! why can't you win like the guys that were cheating! Our bar is higher than this!" So then they fire that coach. Quite the mindset on the Hilltop...

I think SMU could make a lot of sense for McCasland.  He wouldn't have to move his family and could have a better chance to move up to a P5 conference with SMU.  Plus our donors would make sure he is one of the highest paid coaches in the country and take good care of his assistants.  He has an obligation to look after his family and their best financial interests as well as his assistants. 

On a secondary note, UNT is basically in the same conference as SMU now so it would seem normal to see more of our fans on here and vice versa.

Like that last move up, AmIRight? AmIRight?!

He is in an income tier where he already has this covered.  I think at this point the next move will have to be a significant bump in money, or a move to a major (blue blood?) program.

We'll see.

I saw where the New Mexico State coach was hired by Mississippi State. Just guessing but I would think if  Mac is tempted to move it would be to a program in a major conference, not mid major. It is really hard to make the NCAA's in a one or two bid conference.

The BB coaches salaries in the new AAC are going to be all over the board form low 6 figures to around the $1.8 m range. As we know the private schools do not publish. I could see Mc getting another raise maybe in the $1.2 range? I think just as important is facility upgrades. The Pit is going to be home for awhile, so practice gym, sport specific weight room, trainers room and rehab area should be done immediately. Welcome to our board.

We need to get the AC expansion going yesterday. AAC is a big step up, and we need to be ready to compete.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
