SMU Fires Phil Bennett

Happened today, crappy news, good guy who had impossible job at a tough place to win.

[WildCatzPhreak]

Can't believe people wanted him as our next HC.

New d-coord?

Damn beat me by 20 secs.

I'm not sure anyone could be there 10 years and finally put out a winner.    With UT, TT, A&M, and tcu to compete against for top flight athletes, it is always going to be tough.    And, if I'm not mistaken, I believe they have some tough entrance requirements.

I think he could have done it in Manhattan.   The foundation was laid out for him.    Nothing was in place to help him in Dallas.

Wouldn't be such a bad idea having him as a D Coordinator.

I doubt tibb's job is in trouble after 1 year.

[cireksu]

hope nubb's new coach doesn't hire him.

I doubt tibb's job is in trouble after 1 year.

True, but HE is a proven DC... I would love to have him back, but would he feel slighted by not being talked to by Weiser?

[catzacker]

We pretty much have a young Bennett as a DC right now...whether that's good or not, we'll see.
