re: How long will SMU allow June Jones to steal $2 million (base!) a year?

That is a way more realistic approach than doubling down on a guy that already tried to run out on them and doesn't give a flip about recruiting.

I was about to post the UH example in here as a response to your OP and saw you brought it up. This is a great approach for a school like SMU or UH to take. They've kept the same system in place basically as well which promotes the same type of continuity. And they're still winning games

It's funny that they want someone like Patterson at TCU. The only reason Patterson is still there is because of the deal he has worked out, and I doubt the same type of deal would be allowed at SMU considering their past. The school has a lot to offer to that middle tier of Texas recruits. Located in Dallas, gorgeous campus, neat little game day atmosphere on campus that is very good for a mid major, good education and networking after school and they've been running a wide open offense that vibes with what is being run in most Texas high schools
