Interesting to say the least.

So who's going to bring up the elephant in the room? I don't want to be the one to do it.

Are you talking about our basketball program? I thought there was a whole herd in the room.

Does this guy not feed his babies or something?

Maybe, but I was referring more to a certain assistant Coach that just got hired.

We just need someone to keep the seat warm until 2015, when the show-cause expires on Dave Bliss.

Now there's an idea! Doesn't he know the dad from Tommyboy? Edited July 16, 2013 by filmerj

Funny that ihad to find this out from my friend but there are a lot of people out there excited about this move. Apparently it makes us like the "big boys". I am happy were are bringing in experienced coaches and apparently this is another name that catches a lot of attention around the country. He is well liked and respected from what I have heard and seen. A good choice for now... I have only heard about him through the grapevine though.

Man! this guy just missed hanging with Jerry Rice by less than 3 years.

So...that seems cool.

Wow man for a true freshman Josh Friar is huge... Coleman a physical specimen as well! Wish we could suit them up on the d-line!

Because of my hearing impairment, I have been reading body language for almost 70 years during which time I have been a North Texas fan. In my opinion, Rick V's intro of Coach Mac was not the most comfortable moment and his intro of Coach Benford was even more difficult. I just watched this vid and I am not feeling so good right now. It all starts at the top. Jesus.

Yep, let the games begin.

I don't think the problem goes that high up.

So, do we now just hope that we aren't on probation when Benford leaves?

A really, really, really, unbelievable hire.

Seriously, we hired someone with this shady of a past? If we're gonna cheat, we better damn well win.

Sketchy McSketcherson

You know a guy has his ethical compass realigned correctly when he commits to lead a program and bails out 2 months later, having gotten there from a school (Northern Colorado) where he was supposedly an assistant coach (at least, that's what the Clafin press release from 9 weeks ago says), but isn't listed on their website or visible in the team photo, and isn't identified in any of the game notes as a member of the coaching or support staff.

Maybe he was just there for grad school?

He was at Northern Colorado ?

"He's somebody I trust and have great respect for." - Horrifying.

"He's got a proven track record at Marquette." - He sure does.

He was at Northern Colorado ?
