SMU reportedly has interest in Benford

Great opportunity for Tony. Would be a smart hire by SMU. Frankly, that's who they should have called MU about in the first place.
Wow really pathetic on Enlund's part. Didnt IWB scoop SMU looking at the MU coach like 3 weeks ago?
More contacts than Baush n Lomb...
Looks like it will be Brown with Buzz Peterson as the "Coach in Waiting". Too bad for Tony if true, good for MU. SMU AD is a trainwreck.

the idea of knowingly hiring a temporary coach when all of your players are free agents who must sign four year contracts is remarkably stupid.
Terrible hire.
A thousand year old retread that has coached at more teams than most can even name. Further, he is coming in with one foot already out the door. He's bring Buzz Peterson with him as a "coach in waiting." UNC Wilmington's recent record:
2011/2012: 10-21
2010/2011: 13-18
2009/2010: 9-22
2008/2009: 7-25
It's a convoluted way to a coach with an awful record (Peterson).
If there's one thing we've learned in all this, it's that SMU is adrift somewhere between delusion and stupidity. This hire, if true, is a stupendous mix of both.

To be fair, only the last two are on Buzz as he is rebuilding. Until Wilmington he never had a losing school record. UNC bond with Brown, MJ's buddy, NBA HQ experience with the Bobcats when Brown and MJ there. I question how they will do recruiting Texas. No roots.
Word is, they've already reached out to Buzz W. to be the coach-in-waiting-in-waiting for after Buzz P. crashes and burns.
Buzz Peterson has been horrendous everywhere.... Destroyed what oneil n green put together at tenn.

But I thought their rich boosters would spend whatever it took to make SMU great...?

Maybe the AD got Buzz Peterson mixed up with Buzz Williams.
Yahoo Sports had a really good take on the idiocy of hiring Brown: LINK HERE (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger-college-basketball-blog/why-hiring-larry-brown-colossal-mistake-smu-143053578.html)
