Fair enough, two years of stellar recruiting, what is there to lose?Originally posted by aTUfan:
If he wins, he' be there 2 years tops; see Gus Mulzahn
The two years is no big deal. I say get the best you can and if he leaves at 2 years so be it, What has it gotten us when we go after a guy that might stay. It is the same in basketball, football, or ice hockey. Get the best you can for the money you can afford, build a winner and deal with him leaving when you have to. That part is a no brainer. Now if really 3 mil/year, that is a big deal. WowOriginally posted by eastcane:

You can find some solace that if Chad turns SMU on a dime that once Bill is gone our next coach could possibly do the same.Originally posted by aTUfan:
I just hope we have an opportunity(fire bill) to get a new coach this year.. another year of this will put us so far behind.
SMU may have been cheating... Still doesn't change the fact that in a period that the Cowboys were dominating the Dallas sports scene, a college team was able to draw a full house in the same stadium...Originally posted by cbonham:
SMU filled Texas Stadium when it was stone cold cheating with the best of them. What Larry Brown is doing in basketball is different. It's a lot easier to turn a hoops program into top 25 material than it is for a smaller D1 football program. I think Chad would do fine at SMU and he has ties in the Greater DFW area, so recruiting would come naturally for him. But if he did turn it around (even just getting them into a bowl game by year two), he's probably hired away by a lower level ACC, SEC or Big 12 school.

Based on inflation alone those 20 dollar tix are $47.50 today... So pretty much a wash.. Expensive then.. Expensive now.Originally posted by Novocaine:
Tickets were also around $20 a seat and few games were on TV.

TU was never going to hire Chad Morris at that price tag.Originally posted by JesseTU:
This is why we should have fired BB months ago.
Yes, Kragthorpe went to the Humanitarian Bowl and lost. I was thrilled by the turnaround. Tulsa football was back. But nobody offered him a job at more than $3 million dollars. That's my point. All bowls are not equal. All jobs are not equal. Tulsa would offer Morris the job tonight, but not the $3 Million dollars. After 3 bowls in four years Krag went to Louisville. That's a worthy job and Petrino now makes they say 3.5 million. If Morris is successful he won't leave for Iowa State or Colorado at $3.5 million and the job he would leave for are going to want more HC experience. Making a bowl today is the same as being in the upper 50% of your graduating class.Originally posted by TU_BLA:
TUMe, Kragthorpe took a team that went 2-22 the previous 2 seasons to 8-4 and a bowl game his first season. Granted he followed that up with 4-8 and then we went to bowl games his next 2 years. It can be done in 2 yrs with the right coach and some good hard recruiting. Plus there's a chance that the personnel there is already capable of Morris' system as Jones' Run & Shoot is not all that different. If he can bring in the right QB from JUCO or there is already one on campus good enough, they could win some next year. Which is why we have to move NOW!

Hmmm, Butch Davis, Around the block once.Originally posted by t-townpod:
2,3, or 4 it does not matter. The bottom line for a school like SMU or TU, get the best coach you can and when he leaves find another. It is the system we need at TU to be successful. ' Only other option is to get a coach that has been there and done that and is ready to pack it in after one final time'
That's true....... unless the 49ers elect to dip back into the college ranks to repalce Harbaugh, such as Oregon's Mark Helfrich. It worked well for the 49ers last time, would not suprise me if they did so again.Originally posted by TU_BLA:
I don't think Michigan's hire is going to start a domino effect. They will be serious about Harbaugh and I think they will have a good chance to la

Are you sure about filling Texas Stadium? I went to a SWC Championship game SMU vs Arkansas and it wasn't full maybe 40,000.Originally posted by noble cane:

that hunger to see and be seen at an event still exists in Dallas and if chad builds a winner then packing their crackerjack stadium will be no problem. And paying him p5 money will be no problem either.
Geo, How many of those 40,000 fans were SMU fans & how many were Arkansas fans ? I had always heard that SMU's SWC attendance was bolstered tremendously by their SWC rivals, especially when they played home games against UT, A & M, & Arkansas.Originally posted by Tu Geo:

Exactly, probably half of the crowd were Arkansas fans.Originally posted by Tulsafanzz:
