Here's the response I received to my email... I find it strangely encouraging? Good for you, Ricky V. Good for you.

Follow up question... It's about 150 words shorter than the Declaration of Independence. Did your email from Rick by any chance mention a redress of grievances, or potentially breaking away to start his own university?

That's more than 4 times the length of the Gettysburg Address. Which would you say was better?

Can't spell "Prunty" without UNT.

I saw what you did there... Bravo.

We maxed out at a little under 10k. Looks way worse now that the students and breast cancer brigade are mostly gone.

If we could get him as a package deal with his old AD at ACU (Jared Mosley), I'd take that deal.

As frustrating as it is to see that money go up in flames, it's not Mac's fault that we were short-sighted enough to give him that contract. We are not good at structuring and negotiating contracts, and we're not very judicious in how we give extensions. In any event... At least we don't have to worry about Coach Mac sitting next to the highway, holding a sign that says "Will Iowa For Food".

Has any school ever fired one and a half head coaches in the same week? We could set another record!

If necessary, I will buy you a Which Wich sandwich to reward you.

I just wish we had a GIF of Cosh doing anything on the sideline. If you told me he was a scarecrow, or a corpse being propped up, Weekend at Bernie's style... I wouldn't doubt it.

My grandma used to give me socks every Christmas. Technically, it was a gift, and not a worthless one... But none of the other kids were very jealous that I got it.

Canales should be the interim, and it should be his audition for a post-UNT career that's confirmed in advance to start in December of 2015. Period. I don't care if we win out on the season, the answer to our problems isn't on this campus.

RV resigns, Benford gets fired as soon as we have a new AD in place.

@UNTflyer - If a change does get made, and you do want to go to any game later this season... Your tickets are on me.

Backup QB already in?

Best home field advantage in college football.

I hope we void their check.

F this. Burn it to the ground. Salt the earth.

Definitely ridiculous to compare it to a UNT home football game, that's for sure. Because when have we ever seen 30,000 turn out, alive, dead, or both added together?

Didn't mean to usurp your rhetorical point... Have a +1! Either way you look at it, though, he's not doing well with hiring. Overall win percentage, just the basic ability of a coach to win more than they lose in a single season on fluke luck... We are a failure by any and all measure. And across all major sports, and all hires.

The only coach Rick Villarreal has hired since Johnny Jones (hired on April 17th, 2001) to have even one winning season in our three major sports is Dan McCarney. Dodge, Shanice, Aston, Petersen, Benford, McCarney, and Jalie (no games played yet, but I think she could be the next Pat Summit and still not break .500 this year). All of them, combined, have only one season above .500 in all their years in all their sports. Dan McCarney, 2013. What you're seeing on the football field right now is the 2nd best hire Rick has made in a major sport. In terms of results... McCarney is the best major sports hire he's made in 14 years, 5 months, and 19 days.

No she didn't. Sub .500, both overall (by 1 game) and in the Sun Belt (by 2 games).
