SMU looking at Greg Davis?

That’s what the Statesman’s Kirk Bohls is saying.

According to Bohls, a source ‘close to the Longhorn coaching staff’ told him that Davis has been unofficially contacted by SMU about their vacant head coaching position. And by ’source’ he means Bill Little.

Davis has been with Mack Brown for 12 years now so it’s doubtful that he’s leaving for another coaching job at this point in his career. But if he did leave, a source close to Barking Carnival told me that the leading candidates to replace him would be Lynn Amedee, Major Applewhite and Watson Brown.

    Ain’t gonna happen.

    But…. if it did, you know he’d promote McWhorter.

    It won’t be Lynn. I still call him every January to remind him that I will kill him if he ever steps foot on campus again.

    Keep your eye on Steve Brickey.

    I vote for Duane Akina. He has made every Big XII offense look good.

    Larry MacDuff is due. Give him a slush fund and send him up to Dallas to resurrect the Pony Express.

    Ok the Lynn Amedee is a joke right? Please tell me you are joking.

    All of the universe is conspiring to bring back Major. It is his destiny. Feel the Force, Major. Saban is a flaming sinking ship. Get out while you can. Got to take those “close sources” with a shot of tequila.

    I told HJ that Lynn Amedee was off the record. Fucker.

    Isn’t Bill Little “a source close to the Longhorn coaching staff”? Don’t we hear this bullshit about Davis each and every year about this time?

    I will believe this is true when I can confirm it with my own eyes and ears.

    John Mackovic would be a perfect fit for those wine drinking Pony fans.

    If Greg takes the job, maybe I can get an interview:

    Rumor in Dallas is that Roger Staubach has offered to put Paul Johnson on his board (Staubach Companies) to augment the available dollars to bring him from Navy. Not who I’d hire, and interesting that Roger would want to move the best coach Navy’s had in decades, but….

    Our 2005 Broyles Winner made Gary Darnell, for one afternoon, look like the 2007 Broyles Winner.

    That’s actually two years in a row that Darnell has outcoached Davis.
