Shanbour will move down on the depth chart once Izzy heals. NT has had some of the worst QB play in the nation in previous years and Shanbour hasn't been able to earn any playing time....

SL has been a good get for NT, but if you just look at what each coach accomplished before coming to NT it's gotta be Mac. There's no reason why NT can't do what SMUt is doing now....

So the guy leads ASU to 20 wins in his 1st season. If he does the same at NT next year, I bet he's nabbed by a P5 program. I hope Wren has a nasty buyout included in his contract to stick it to those P5 schools....

Like the hire. He's a young, proven head coach. Exactly what this program needs.

I thought CUSA's TV partner decided not to renew the TV contract?

Meh, not a big deal, imo. He fired Benford at season's end. The team struggled his entire tenure and we all knew the ship already sank. Firing him mideason wouldn't accomplish a whole helluva a lot. The staff had to have known their jobs were numbered as well. One of them would've had to take over the dumpster fire. How enticing is that? The right thing to do was fire him after year 3. That's where the AD failed miserably.

No more assistants. Hire a head coach with skins on the wall. Plenty at lower divisions chomping at the bit to get into D1 basketball in the heart of Texas...,

Exactly. Please remind me what sport dominates collegiate athletics and props up most athletic department budgets, including title ix sports? FBS Football.

Look at the athletic departments and athletic budget....

I really like JJ and appreciate what he's done here, but I think it's an era that's been put behind UNT. Time to move forward......

His resume speaks for himself. Harper looks to be a great hire, on paper. I think a UTA move to UNT is definitely a step up but not a move from stAte. Lateral move, IMO....

No. Get a good coach first....

It's over officially...

Can't believe it's been 5 years. How can anyone feel sorry for someone who's severely underperformed and was paid 6 figures the entire time? He should be thanking NT he made so much money to fail miserably.

I've read so many bad things about Helwig. What the hell ever happened to that guy? Did he do anything positive for NT?

Case in point, you bastards. :D

I just mainly listen to D&M in the morning. N&D and B&D are decent but nothing to keep my interest long term. I never really understood the appeal of ticket stock. I can see a bunch of half drunk, fat white guys on Saturdays at every NT home game....

Watch out now. Any negativity towards the current regime will get you drawn & quartered.

NT: Pass the buck and let the next a-hole deal with it.

Lure Tom Izzo away from State.

LOL!! That's probably pretty accurate.

McCarney won with those guys. He posted the best season in a decade with Teflon Todd's recruits. Coincidence that was the best class to come through since?

Who is the resident spin doctor?

I never thought this day would come, but it looks like those suckers are going to be NTs big CUSA rival. I hate those F'rs almost as much as SMU....

Hell no. I teach my kids to never let dogs lick them for that very reason. I did let my dog lick on people that annoyed me...
