Not gonna bash SMU - or Texas - here, or push 'em up.
This part of the thread has been about whether CDC will/would take SMU's AD job.
Is it even possible? I think so.
Is it probable? Without elaborating for those of you who regularly demonstrate serious innumeracy, I'll give that a yes.
How probable is it? Not fucking very. If Vegas put out a line on it, it would have to be so fucking big that some of us would put a Franklin or ten on it, just in case, but Lefty and Fingers would visit CDC and Hartzell to make sure it didn't happen, with perhaps stage 4 certainty.
If I were in CDC's shoes, I might consider that while my bank account was plenty big enough already, the opportunity to lead a school wirh SMU's generational lack of prominence in the Big 3 Sports to pinnacles un-thought of for fifty years, while pushing my family's financial status to independence for great-great-grandchildren, is acceptable.
I might consider it. But it would certainly - to 9 or 10 decimal places - take a whole lot more dollars than even Jimbo would consider...
So, nah.
But thanks for playing.
