Oklahoma State Coach Smith Accepts SMU Head Coach Post
Quiet-spoken Dave Smith, who transformed Oklahoma State from a Big Eight nonch to a blossoming power, signed a four-year deal as SMU head football coach. The 39-year-old indicated a possible Wishbone offense for 1973 after a 6-6 season with upsets over Missouri, Iowa State, and Colorado. Smith, an SMU assistant for eight years before joining Winnipeg in 1970, said the team will be exciting but it's early to judge direction.
