SMUhiring Larry Brown

[Notorious B.E.N]

ESPN NCAAB Sources: Larry Brown, SMU agree

This is surprising to me, on espn it said he is going, this article was from earlier

Great hire.

This is why Steve Orsini was always my personal favorite for the AD job.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Does he have any kind of comnection to the school or the AD?

 

[govols120]

Two years, tops.

 

[McCat]

He's hired UK's Rod Strickland as an assistant, too.

Also, I think I saw somewhere they're hiring Buzz as a coach-in-waiting. Oh my.

I remember a poster that said Tennessee could have hired LB, if they wanted too after the Pearl stuff went down.

Legendary poster.

Larry brown just said he has not been offered or accepted the job.

Said there has been contact but no offer.

Smart hire when official

My only question is why it took him this long.

Two years, tops.

That's being generous. He's 114 yrs old.

 

[zehr27]

My only question is why it took him this long.

I think he knew he had to wait for the right time to make an offer if he wanted to stand a chance.

They get 2 yrs fr him? Maybe 3 at most

I remember this as well...:whistling:

Many stated that Larry Brown would have never shown any interest in Tennessee if Tennessee ever contacted him.

Maybe, maybe not. SMU is in a very nice part of Dallas, which is bigger and perhaps appeals to Brown and his family more. Money usually talks though.

Gotta hope they have enough kids left unsigned he can get in on. He can definitely get name pop in recruiting. Should be interesting him and Danny Mannimg going head to head in recruiting.
