[pearland aggie93]

retirement after the beat down by georgia:wow: :wow:

[spazdout]

very interesting.....do you have a link?

[AWolf02]

Looks like he is going for the SMU job.

EDIT: It was also just said on ESPNews that said he has resigned as head coach and will be looking at SMU job.

[Pumchavas28]

So I guess pearland got it wrong when he said he was not looking for a job...:popcorn:

[whitelightnin_23]

shocking...

[AWolf02]

That just means Fran sits back and gets paid if true.

[Pumchavas28]

Unless Hawaii hires Fran... :wow:

[AWolf02]

If that happens they would meet him at the airport....put his ass on a stake... and roast him like a pig.

[Pumchavas28]

Lil debbies don't take all that long to roast... I hear they go go out quick.... ;)

Back atya you illiterate dung sample on a geriatric jock strap.

[whitelightnin_23]

For the record...I was referring to JUNE Jones leaving Hawaii...sarcastically (look it up)

but, wait...let me guess...your freaking brother typed that :bored:

we all know you don't have a brother.

[pearland aggie93]

according to espn jones WILL sign a 10 million dollar deal with SMU

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3183915 (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3183915)

[whitelightnin_23]

step up for jones? I don't think so...

At least he'll be in the continental United States...

[KCAggie]

So one of the highest paid coaches in college football will be at SMU! :huh:

[Pflugerville Ag]

He hasn't left Hawaii yet. He is torn b/c of the outpouring of support that the entire state of Hawaii is giving him to help him stay.

[aggie1997]

If he stays on the island, then who does SMU go after?

[pearland aggie93]

Looks like it's going to be announced today:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3184911

5 years, $2 million per year is the expected amount. Boosters look like they'll fund it.

My question is, why would the boosters pay for it. Do they get any type of compensation for this? Is it tax-deductible? This is one thing I was curious about big-money donors -- why? General contributions are deductible, but what about specific ones to pay salaries?

[Pumchavas28]

If he can bring back that program... it will be money well spent & the money to them is probably like chump change to us....

But if SMU fights it's way back, it makes you wonder if they can find a way back into a BCS conference in 4 to 5 years from now.

[KCAggie]

No, because it hasan't happened to TCU yet, and they would be first.

[Pumchavas28]

WHY??? If Jones can get SMU to a 12-0 season & win a BCS Bowl before TCU, why should the Big XII or any conference for that matter wait on TCU???

[KCAggie]

But TCU had some 1 lost seasons and did not get into any BCS conferences. If that didn't get them in, then SMU probably wouldn't get in either. No undefeated non BCS team has gotten into a bcs conference, so I wouldn't expect it to happen to an undefeated SMU team anytime soon.

[Pumchavas28]

But it can happen.... just sayin....;)

[jagowar]

It has happened.... i am pretty damn surprised myself.

Who would have thought smu would make a bigger splash than we did with our hire.

[Pumchavas28]

I don't think that's true..... JMO....

[whitelightnin_23]

evidence: See Georgia game... OU is similar to Georgia...

[Pumchavas28]

Lets not forget Hawaii came very close to losing to San Jose State....

I am sorry but c'mon.... really? A bigger splash???

Aren't we the same fan base pyssed about the Army game & Fresno State? San Jose State is far worst than SJSU & FSU....

[Pflugerville Ag]

I can't believe that he went to SMU. Sure, its for a lot of $$$, but living in Dallas coaching at best, the 6th or 7th best team in the state, is better than living and coaching in Hawaii??

the only buzz sherman got was for us not looking at a black coach.... thats pretty telling. Now I think he will turn out to be a better coach than june jones but there is already a much bigger splash from this hire by the national media.

When the season starts.. no one will care... I don't think it's that big of a deal... as mentioned before... he is going to the 6th or 7th best team in the state... Also giving him $$$$ comparable to what A&M gave Sherman puts more pressure on him than the pressure A&M has on Sherman....

I think by Week 2, no one will even remember this....

[Pumchavas28]

Lets not forget that SMU was the 1st to fire their coach & last to pick one up... (well unless you count Hawaii now)...

That says alot right there.....:popcorn:

[whitelightnin_23]

he (sherman) may not be the "big splash" hire that we all wanted...but isn't he achieving the same outcome (by maintaining our signing class & adding a few names)?
