DALLAS (AP) -SMU coach Phil Bennett was fired Sunday, a day after the Mustangs lost 29-23 at Tulsa and were eliminated from bowl contention. Bennett, who is 18-48 in six seasons, will finish out the season, athletic director Steve Orsini said. ``I appreciate Phil's efforts here at SMU, but I felt it was time for a change,'' Orsini said in a statement. The Mustangs are 1-7 with four games remaining. They play at Houston on Sunday. Bennett was reportedly close to losing his job after the 2005 season, but won the last three to finish 5-6. SMU was 6-6 last season. |
