I hope they get rid of Peterman, hire someone that fits their "type"... ahem... then they go back to their underachieving ways, which they will. Then I hope Peterman gets a better job and is happier for it. Mathis is a clown that got where he was in the first place for shady reasons. Not a good coach imo. He got the magic carpet ride to the top for the wrong reason. Sounds like you have had dealings with him lol

not really... coached against him once and smoked him. my issue with him is that his teams have always underachieved, and the second he's gone they win it all... yet somehow he ends up landing on his feet, and it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out why.

I've seen him on the sideline during the State Champ games, dude loves that camera time. Dealt with him when he was recruiting our kids, hype man with very little knowledge. But like you say, he lands on his feet some how. SMU upgraded big time with the hiring of Traylor and demoting of Mathis.

But like you say, he lands on his feet some how. SMU upgraded big time with the hiring of Traylor and demoting of Mathis. 100% this. it's not a matter of landing on his feet somehow... he lands on his feet because he was in the right place at the right time once. He went to LBJ when they were on a high point in their cycle (anyone that knows Austin football knows that LBJ will be unbelievably talented for about two years, then will be absolutely awful for about 6), and he had FREAKS there... way underachieved. He got credit for their success because he was a black HC at a black school. Then finds a black district looking for a black HC and lands the desoto job, and then ROYALLY underachieves. Now, this has NOTHING to do with his skin color (when it comes to merit), but has everything to do with it when you ask how he got the jobs he's gotten.

All I know about Mathis is that he was a great 1A football player in Bartlet, and I beat him in the 300 hurdles our senior year down in Austin.
Now you can carry on with the relevant stuff...lol

People think that when he was at Gilmer they were just oozing talent.... not true at all. Don't get me wrong, they had a little talent. But him and his staff were dang good coaches that worked their tails off and the kids loved them.

Staff is still good, no doubt! They just aren't bleeding the D1 talent everyone thinks. I've coached against them a lot during my career, never got the W though. The players they have are not what people make them out to be (in my opinion). They have had some very special ones though.

Definitely know what you're saying... and you'd know more than me being that you've played them so much. I'd only argue that at that level it doesn't take but a few big time kids to send you deep because not everyone has them. Once you get deep though, that's where it shows that they are coached very very well.

They had more than a little talent Jeff did great job One year he lost to liberty hill at Floyd Casey Had one of the biggest olines For a school that size I've ever seen LH didn't throw a pass As stated above Jeff is good dude and coach My youngest loves him and deals with him A lot in her job And a lot of college coaches around the country He is one of her favorites.

I think I heard that they approved his contract last night.
Mentioned something about "concerns" were brought to the boards attention reguarding the HC. Does anybody know what those concerns actually were?
