Welcome UNT Football Coach Brandon Corbin!

Welcome aboard to the Mean Green Nation Coach. So great to see this happening.

Welcome Coach!

Wow, this is a far cry from the days when the athletic department/coaching staff never admitted that they ever read the "idiot board".............

"Follow the eagles"...? instead of "Follow the Mean Green"...? Is it permissible to refer to the team as the eagles???

Cut him some slack, he's new. He'll learn.

"The Nest" is new to me.

Not exactly "Death Valley" but I like...

Any relation to Barry Corbin?

Welcome Coach Corbin!

What happened with our social media person since this thread started?   Did it die, and now Coach Littrell is ressurecting it?

high speed, no drag and access to the internets and world ide webs (which frightens me due to my concern over space spiders).

Looks like he got poached by that NAIA powerhouse Bethel University.

Last year he was at the University of North Texas where he served in an "off-field" role as a recruiting assistant and also handled football's social media. Highlights of last year included a nine win season, a New Year's Day Bowl victory in the Heart of Dallas Bowl vs. UNLV, and, although not "official," many believed the program signed the best recruiting class at North Texas in over a decade which, with only a couple exceptions, was an entirely Texas High School signing class.

From 2013 to 2014, Corbin was at the University of North Texas where he served in an off-field role as a recruiting and social media assistant.  The Mean Green had a nine win season, a New Year's Day Bowl victory in the Heart of Dallas Bowl versus UNLV, and signed a highly ranked C-USA recruiting class in 2014.

I told you guys that this is a new era in UNT football -I was around a successful program with Jimmy Johnson and these guys remind me of coach johnson and what he brought to a program. These guys are going to hit the ground running . I can't tell you what the record will be the first year but I can tell you we will be competitive and we will see a difference on the field with attitude , hustle and demeanor. Hey UNT90 I want you to jump on the bandwagon with us . You have been around a long time and we need you like we need these football coaches . Im not a raw raw guy --I tell it like I see it !!! GMG

Technically, no. It should be "Follow the Mean Green."

Please.  What are you, still doing cave drawings?  Get with the times, man!  Game simulations will be run on Tecmo Bowl!

We gonna rehash this from 2 1/2 years ago?  I stand by my statement, technically.  I could give a wealth of reasons why, but if you disagree, you can be first in line to raise banner money asking for the school fight song to be changed.

Sometimes I play the Tecmo Bowl music in my head while doing mundane things during the day, but I feel like tricking it up a bit.

The nest makes me shutter....brings back memories of coach Dennis Parker's nest constructed in the south end zone of Fouts.

Cool.  I bet Coach Corbin & I are the only posters on this board who known where McKenzie Tennessee is.

He would get caught from behind every time by Lawrence Taylor.   And your opponent couldn't even make a PAT (let alone any other FG) against LT.
