At least he can stop whining about not being able to get another job! :lol:
Congrats to the coach and good luck in his new job.

I concur. I am glad we had Coach Mason. I am sure this last season was tough on him too. Time for us all to move on and upwards.

Go Ponies!

I guess all the "Mason is not a June-ite" excuse makers were wrong. Mason deserves to be head coach, indeed.

Anyone have a summary of where the other members of the previous staff landed? Are any of them around Dallas or even in Texas?

Nice that Hawaii could get someone with Pacific Ocean recruiting knowledge.

I do wish Coach Mason good luck for the future.

Hey, he might get to be an interim HC three times, twice in two years.

I've been curious about that as well. Hadn't see the news about Mason, but good for him. As for the others, the only ones I know about:
* Morrison - Retired
* Odum - DB coach at Oregon State (http://www.osubeavers.com/SportSelect.d ... SID=750127)

I am very pleased Coach Mason got a DC position. I do think he is HC material. Just not here (too much association with previous coaching staff). Mason had a vision for SMU very different from Jones. He worked hard in a horrid situation and some of the guys he and his staff recruited were in clouded by Morris. So he didn't abandon SMU while interim. coach.

Until I see evidence otherwise, I'm working under the assumption that Tom Mason was a good man caught in a [deleted] situation.

Thanks Coach and good luck.
