While many media members have expressed the opinion that it is a bad hire, no one can doubt that SMU made a big splash as it heads into the Big East. In an attempt to avoid the ignored bottom of the conference, SMU made an outside-the-box hire that has brought a lot of attention to the program, which was part of the reason the hire was made. Monday's press conference is sure to draw a lot of attention, and SMU made a smart decision broadcasting it online.
