Bruce Feldman: Seven Rising Star Coaches who could Replace June Jones at SMU

[bcherry168]

Any real good coach should avoid that graveyard.

Ever since the ponies got the death penalty SMU has been a dreary, dead swamp of a football program. The ncaa may have permanently killed any chance that SMU could have in becoming any more than an after thought in college football.

Meh...it's been 25 years since they've returned from the death penalty.

Their conference affiliation, AAC, does more to hold them back now. Well, that and their small student body and alumni base doesn't seem to care anymore.  The right coach could turn them around in that league, but they'll always be on the outside looking in unless the CFB expands the playoffs to 8+ teams.

I think for SMU to get near a football playoff it will have to expand to the 64/65 basketball participant level. Basketball makes me chuckle when teams with losing records or .500 records make the dance. Do like the underdog of course, as long as they aren't playing lights out vs the Horns!

25 years and the death penalty is still the reason their football is nowhere. There's a reason the ncaa never gave the death penalty to anyone else.

By far one of one of your least informative post you have made.

haha

I grabbed this thread for the NCAA investigation article, then realized I was dropping an SMU BBall article into an SMU football thread

So now we have two SMU sports threads

Pretty exciting

And thanks for asking!

Then I realized I left a comma instead of a period
