Gee, what are their thinking? This is the guy they really were after? Jank's record puts this guy to shame and he was fired. What a pile of mustang crap .

Seriously reminds me of asking girls out in school.  Not wanting to hurt feelings, they'll say we'll see, or we can try to meet up.  You tell people you have a date, then when they have "prior commitments", you are left empty handed...

 

And this crap about never seriously considering Mac, is like when you ask a mutual friend, "Hey, does she like me?"  And when the friend says no, you just say, "I wasn't asking her out."

All the fluff talk on Smut boards is don't worry about his head coaching disaster at Siena.  Since then has a lot of experience as an assistant at some big programs.   They say he was hired to recruit Texas, but he has been gone from Texas since 2015.  Sounds like the next Benford.

Joe Golding is a good coach and SMU has finalized his contract at $700k.  Coach Jankovich has officially retired with a decent record at SMU.  From what I hear, he was still putting out good teams but attendance and donor amounts were dropping.

This may not be politically correct but the fact that Lanier is an African American may [ I repeat MAY] have been a consideration. The DFW  has a number of African High School basketball players that move on to D1 programs outside the area who might reconsider their choice with Lanier at the helm of SMU. While not the best won lost record I have seen [it pales by comparison to Jank] he has an excellent pedigree with a Texas recruiting background.

I absolutely think that him being black was the main reason they hired him over Golding..

Yeah, now they can use the time honored response of “You can’t accuse me of that…I’ll have you know my HEAD coach is black”

Total propaganda story in the DMN on the $mut hire.  Made it sound like Lanier was the one and only candidate considered.  $mut said they contacted him right after Jank resigned on Tuesday (sure) and he was on a plane Wednesday to Dallas.  Offered the job Friday (after the Big Turn Down from Grant, but no mention of that at all), lol.

SMU would have been very stupid to want this guy over McCasland.

Of course they would also be very stupid to admit that to anyone.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
