    Hart was fired?

    I misspoke on that...

    reports are he is stepping down, but he is only 60 and makes $560,000 a year and just completed one of the best seasons for SMU in a long time and in a lot of ways including fundraising and facilities.....perhaps he is wanting to go out on top, spend more time with the wife or grand kids, has some "issue", wants to "take some time" before going elsewhere for another 5 or 6 years....who knows

    he is also getting a new president that has been very supportive of athletics at Texas (and should know that SMU alumni have expectations) vs. Turner that was indifferent for a long time.....so it seems like an odd time to leave

    i'll guess they have a plan in place 

    the timing seems interesting for "having a plan in place" though

    Hartzell has not started yet and won't for a few more months....I would wonder did Hartzell ask them to clean the house up a bit before he started.....did he know Hart from dealings with SMU in general and SMU wanting in the Big 12 in the recent past and did not like him (or the opposite)

    are the Big Cigars at SMU tired of Hart and Hartzell said "I give a shit about academics so clean your sports shit up before I start".......is Hart worried there will be an academic focus that will make athletics more difficult (doubtful)

    does Hartzell really want to step in on day one and not have that position filled and that is one of the first things he has to deal with.....at a university that I believe is looking to make some academic advancements sooner than later....does a new AD want to start before his new boss (taking over for a guy that has been there 2 decades) starts.....and starts with what should be some high expectations all around
