Sources: SMU floats lengthy $4M/year offer to former Texas coach Mack Brown

Posted Oct 24, 2014
SMU officials have had preliminary discussions with former Texas coach Mack Brown, floating $4 million annually over eight years, sources say. Brown, 63, fits the Larry Brown model — a national championship winner who can land star prospects on name alone. Most of the prime candidates excel in areas of June Jones’ shortcomings. Qualifications include a spread passing offense and the ability to recruit Texas, particularly Dallas-Fort Worth. (Dallas Morning News)
