I know this has been mentioned before on here, but I just read a piece in the Daily Oklahoman that mentioned a report (rumor) that SMU had offered Brown $4 million to coach the Mustangs...supposedly, it would be an 8 year deal.
The only reason I mention this is because it could affect OU. Mack has always been able to recruit, and if ends up at SMU, it's not crazy to think he could put SMU into the thick of Texas recruiting. I don't think it would really hurt OU, but it would make waves.
My hope is that Brown takes the job, gets SMU respectable again, and at the same time Strong struggles at Texas. I would take so much delight in watching that unfold.
