SMU might be looking into hiring Mack Brown. http://collegesportsblog.dallasnews.com/2014/09/report-smu-brass-intrigued-by-ex-texas-coach-mack-brown.html/ This could be hilarious.

Thermos H Christ posted:I'm pretty sure there's firm scientific evidence that athletes who believe they are certain to win do in fact win more than they would otherwise. In light of that, I'm ok with our team being full of self-delusion about the Baylor game. I don't think it will help if they go in to it as depressed and hopeless as I will. True, but there's such a thing as a happy middle-ground between "Awaiting our imminent demise  " and "We're CLEARLY the better team than this one that's won 3 of the last four and is almost universally seen as significantly better than us right now.

 Players faking injuries to stop the clock and slow down the game was already an old tactic that people bitched about 50 years ago. We called them "Notre Dame timeouts" when I was a kid. I find it hilarious that people continue to bitch about it.

I really hope Notre Dame loses to UNC and FSU in the coming weeks. Also, more fap-worthy Watson stats per ESPN: quote:Of course Deshaun Watson is great, but here are a few numbers to illustrate how good he’s been: Watson leads the nation in yards per attempt (11.9). He’s second only to Oregon’s Marcus Mariota in passer rating (212.7). He’s third behind Mariota and Alabama’s Blake Sims in completion percentage (72.7). He has the third-best rate of TD-to-attempts in the country behind Mariota and Cal’s Jared Goff.

Probably Magic posted:So... Larry Brown... and Mack Brown. It would unquestionably be a good hire. He would probably give their recruitment a massive shot in the arm with the good ole' boy network he has in Texas. And if he actually were to let his assistants function, they could probably install a decent system and bring SMU up from being a cellar dweller in that league. Or he'll just recruit talent and piss it away because Mack Brown.

How much good talent will be willing to help Mac rebuild at SMU instead of going to A&M, Baylor, OU, OK State, UT, TCU, and Tech? (or the other big programs that recruit out of Texas.) It would be an improvement but not one that will turn them into a mid major powerhouse, especially if the in game coaching isn't good.

SMU is probably one of the few mid-majors that could pull off a CEO head coach, given that their donors have deep enough pockets to pay for good assistants. If Mack can steal a few recruits away from the likes of Tech and TCU, they should do well in the AAC.

During the course of the game when Devin lost– and I think that's where the critical junction is for some of you, but the…Devin's helmet comes off and my intention is to go out and I get the referee’s attention who I think, by the way, is one of the better referees in this league, And I want to buy him back with a timeout. That, and when I say that- and I've talked to the Big Ten about this, I've talked to Bill Carollo last night about this, I was told I couldn't buy him back and I said, ‘Yeah, I can buy him back,’ so him and I had a little bit of a discussion because you can buy back in because of the helmet, not because of any injury but because of the helmet coming off. Well, the linesman comes up and him and I, I say ‘I want to buy him back,’ and the referee says you can't do that’ and the miscommunication or whatever it might be, the head linesman says, ‘Yes, you can’ and so by that time Shane’s on the field taking one more snap, handing the ball off, [and] Devin gets his helmet back on. That's how that sequence went. /

(or the other big programs that recruit out of Texas.) t Of course they won't, at least not consistently, but that's not what SMU needs to do to be successful. Mack can still probably steal a big name or two here and there while consistently whipping the poo poo out of the AAC when it comes to second tier guys. He's one of the best recruiters in recent college football history and he's got connections all over the state. He can give them a nice talent base to build off of and hopefully get them some connections with high schools in the area to use later. He'd be a nice shot in the arm for the program and could possibly set the next coach up well. Unless you actually think guys like Chad Morris are realistic he'd be a good short term option for them, and you could pair him up with a good young coordinator to groom for the future. And ugh, that Hoke quote. Even if you couldn't call a timeout to get Gardner back, it would give the third string guy time to find his helmet (which he found with like 25 second left on the clock anyway). Or just put literally anyone who doesn't potentially have a concussion and can catch a snap out there for one play. Put in an extra WR or lineman and direct snap it to the loving RB. Put in the punter and let him hand it off. It doesn't really matter what you do, just don't put the kid who might have a concussion out there.

I could see Brown doing for SMU what Schnellenberger did for FAU. Establish some success, build up recruiting pipelines and leaving it in place to make the jump to the next level assuming they don't hire a coke fueled Pelini. gently caress it, they should straight up skip to the coke fueled Pelini.

Yeah his explanation is that he was bumbling around arguing with the referees and before he knew it Michigan, with Morris in, had run a play against his wishes. That's literally his explanation.

He'd be appreciated as an elder statesman of football, he'd be a popular socialite rubbing elbows with the rich and powerful, there wouldn't be too much pressure to win, and there would be a ton of good recruits sitting right in his back yard. I think it'd be a great place for him.

Unless you actually think guys like Chad Morris are realistic he'd be a good short term option for them, and you could pair him up with a good young coordinator to groom for the future. I can see him giving SMU a pulse but they would still have to find assistants that could actually coach well with any talent he would find. He has been a great recruiter in the past but at least some of that (in recent history, I don't know much about him at UNC) was helped by being the coach of Texas. I don't see him leading SMU to an AAC championship unless multiple schools like ECU, UCF, Houston and Cincinnati all fall apart. He might hurt Houston with recruiting but I don't know how many recruits he'd be taking away from other AAC programs. A realistic target for him would be to get them slightly better than June Jones best SMU teams. (That's if he finds good assistants to help run the show which is a big if) They could challenge better AAC teams after a few years but probably not destroy the whole league.

A couple of pages ago everyone had Tennessee winning against UF this weekend. Let me remind everyone that Tennessee has developed an issue where they choke (almost) every time they see the UF uniform on the other side of the field. Even with the teams full of future NFL players led by Manning they couldn't beat UF. So even now I feel like it would be an upset if Tennessee wins. Maybe it is a condition I developed over the years as a Tennessee fan, but I never feel good about playing UF. It all depends on Worley staying healthy and getting time to throw.
