SMU to fire Tubbs as head coach
After just two years at the helm, SMU will fire head coach Jimmy Tubbs, according to sources close to the situation.

Tubbs took over two years ago after spending 12 seasons as an assistant at the school and the previous two under Kelvin Sampson at Oklahoma.
The Mustangs finished 14-14 in his first season and were 13-16 and 4-10 in conference play this past year.

The reason for the late timing on the decision was that SMU athletic director Jim Copeland was out on medical leave until Monday.

13-16 at SMU? No, thanks.

I don't think we'd go after him, but thought I'd share the article.

That would be pretty close to getting beaned in the head with a 101 mph fastball.

SMU just hired a new AD, so that is one reason Tubbs is heading out. I think we're aiming for someone a little bit younger, though.

Kelvin's assistants have performed less-than-admirably as head coaches.

That and the ticker on ESPN news mentioned some NCAA violations.

Wasn't Tubbs an OU assistant under Sampson?

Doesn't that make three (Sampson, Lopes, and Tubbs) who have all had some trouble with the NCAA?

Officially put me in the "good riddance" side of the Kelvin argument. We don't need that junk around here. Let Indiana deal with it....

don't forget about Seltzer and the Great Alaska Shootout. It wasn't that big a deal but in the eyes of the NCAA it was a violation.
