The LSU rumors make infinitely more sense than SMU. And the LSU rumors are coming from credible sources and not Twitter accounts with 100 followers

I hear he's going to Kansas State in a package deal with Seth Littrell taking over the football program.

This is the best joke I have ever seen written on Go Mean Green.com. Thank you for the humor!

Other than South Carolina I think most good head coaching jobs have been filled.

So to be clear, SMU is dissatisfied with their basketball coach because he won 24 games and lost in the 2nd round of the NIT? So to try to "clean up" their program they're going to go after a coach that won 25 games and lost in the 2nd round of the NIT? That 1 game holds a lot of weight, I guess.

So none of you would consider going from making $700,000 to $2,200,000 as a step up?

I bet his W-2 would disagree with your assessments.

Do you know how much of that 2.2 mil is AAC money, vs. how much is other (boosters, etc)?

Football and men's bball head coach salaries are entirely booster funded at SMU.

Most people have standards and loyalty. I absolutely would not take more money to leave UNT. 100% would never do that no matter what university offered.

Sure, why not? Everyone wants to be overpaid.

Since the question is personal I can honestly say that it depends. I can live comfortably on an income of $700,000. I am not a basketball coach but my loyalty to NT would be sufficient to decline the offer. McCasland is not in the same boat.

All that being said I would hate for my alma mater to do to me what UTA did to Scott Cross.

MrAlien · March 22, 2022

Is there a buy out involved with McCasland?

as for smu, every year there seems to be a similar rumor that they will go out and over pay for what ever coach is coming off a hot season.

Funded almost exclusively by one man. David Miller.

Yes you would. We all would. That is lifestyle changing money. These coaches do this b/c its a business.

You’d be lucky to land Andrew and while it would be a tough loss, I don’t think you all have the guts to put together an enticing package big enough to pry him loose. Prove me wrong, cowards.

The SMUT coach has not done terrible for them, we were in the NIT, they were in the NIT.

1. You are just here stirring the pot, period.

2. It is sad that you all don't have a fan board where you can spend your time. Instead, you come over here and reveal the fear you, your fans and your university have at the thought of North Texas passing you by. The fear of a university in your backyard with the fourth highest enrollment in the state, and more alumni in the DFW market than your little old cheatin' university could provide in 100 years. Thanks for coming on here and justifying that you think of us as a rival and a threat.

3. Two million dollars for a career that will last a few years at your university because of the toxic culture doesn't provide the long-term security of 10+ years making a half a million less at a university with an administration that works well together and supports Coach McCasland, his family and his staff.

4. SMU is only attractive to you and your fellow alumni that only know how to throw money at a problem instead of working through it. Your "P5" comments further solidify your small man syndrome and lack of realization of where SMU falls in the pecking order of today's universities. You blew your chance with the Death Penalty. Your fellow conference foes, at the time, proved their loyalty to you and left you behind. They aren't itching to invite you back now.

You mad bro?

meangreenlax · March 22, 2022

The worst part about DFW is the prevalence of the SMU guy who thinks his ill gotten gains from waltzing into a make-work position at his daddy’s firm is a sign of his natural abilities and skills. When in reality he is profoundly mediocre and replaceable and no amount of money will change that. Just like SMU athletics.

My comment wasn't in regards to GM leaving or not leaving, but as to why SMU would want GM given what resume they're trying to get rid of.

Would be shocked Mc not going to a P5 of his liking. I also believe if he is in the running for a job that he wants, he will get it. That makes me think he has already turned down other jobs. His personal presentation is just outstanding. We will pay in the top of the AAC salaries for a winner like Mc.
