buckeyefandom Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I do not feel sorry for SMU at all. The Ponies have a long history of shooting themselves in the foot. They had the chance to hire Coach Traylor internally and passed. Their own players tried to tell them, but their bank balances keep short circuiting their brains. So now they’ll have their rival, TCU poach the coach they hired, while Coach Traylor told TEXAS TECH “No Thanks” out of LOYALTY. A character trait nobody “On The Hilltop” knows anything about. Some people have character. Some people value relationships over money. Some people do things the right way, or they don’t do them at all. Unfortunately, SMU can’t recognize those people, even when they walk past them in their own offices every day. It takes character to recognize character. So what does that tell you about SMU? They hired a guy who took the talent he inherited, and then leverages it up to go across town to their rival? (TCU isn’t much better for the lack of character they showed with Coach Pat!) And so now, just watch…. SMU and TCU both will let their egos make the same mistake again. They will start over with an outsider and they will both be in the same boat again by 2025. In the mean time, Coach Traylor is at UTSA with a 11-0 team on the verge of a conference title in just his second year. I hope both the Frogs and Ponies stay relevant long enough with other people’s recruits to see UTSA in bowl games the next few years. Who knows who will be coaching them? I know who will be coaching UTSA. And I’ll give you Frogs, Ponies and the points now. Character counts! And SMU and TCU both will reap what they’ve sown.

I think they are equal and it comes down to personal preference. We have seen the support you can get in Lubbock with Leach and Beard. Same support in Waco for Briles and Drew.

However, I bet Traylor will leave in a few years. UT Sorta Almost is not a destination. He inherited a great roster, and is really coaching the guys up. It will be interesting to see where Traylor ends up here in another year or two. It was a smart move by UT Sorta Almost to extend him and add that large buy out to the contract. When one of the blue bloods snags him here in a few years, UTSA will at least make some money off of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBuddyGarrity Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Not sure if he got an extension but I seen this morning that Luke Fickell is staying at Cincy per Dennis Dodd. That makes me think Brian Kelly is staying at Notre Dame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
