I agree. I like that better than SOW which is much, much better than North Texas.

Nelson coached for 10 years with Mac. He's the most likely to stay.

I'm watching it again. It's well worth a second viewing.

Rick Canales??

He better be careful about going into the soroities to meet people. He could get arrested doing that.

There was an interview with Rick from awhile back. He said the problem wiht busses is that while everyone arrives at different times everyone wants to leave at the same time. It may still be an option, though. He also said the walk way wouldn't be finished this year and it would have to be coordinated with TDOT. From what I remember it wouldn't be ready for a few years if at all. I'm sure they'll have some way to walk from Fouts to the new field. It just may be bear to get in and out of on game days.

When it's something serious they will always let the parent on the field.

Chico will be out of our price range by that time.

Will some of y'all be at the introductory press conference? You could ask some interesting questions and get Rick squirming a bit.

I go back and forth on McCarney. I see the positives and I see the negatives. Rick better be correct or it really could be his job that is seeking a replacement next time. This is especially true if Canales is successful somewhere else.

I wouldn't hold your breath. I don't think this game had any bearing on the decision.

How about we hire whoever can give us a defense that doesn't backup at the snap of the ball.

That's what I meant. With Fran you now what offense you're getting. With McCarney it would depend on the OC.

I will say that McCarney would be more likely to have an uptempo offense rather than Fran's option attack.

I might find this interesting if I ever cared what the NT Daily said.

If true then it's interesting that we haven't decided yet. That would help explain why we haven't heard more definitive reports.

More and more reports about McCarney becoming our next coach. If he isn't getting the job you'd expect McCarney to issue some denials so it doesn't look like we turned him down. Therefore, unless there's a breakdown in the contract talks I'm thinking it is McCareny. I'm lukewarm on him. Hopefully he'll hire a strong offensive coordinator to balance him. Maybe that could be Canales but I don't know if he would want to return considering the situation. One thing I'm a bit confused on. RV said he wanted someone who would spend a lot of time in public to promote the club. McCarney doesn't seem like that kind of personality. He seems more of an old school football guy and a bit gruff but I could easily be wrong about him. I'm just thinking that if McCarney is the hire then RV has adjusted the qualities he was looking for.

The more I read about McCareny the less I'm thrilled.

Florida does finish their regular season this week ... but then most teams finish up this week.

We could rename the conference "The mathematically accurate Big 12".

stebo - I really hope we have more than $1 million to pay the coaching staff. We desperately need to if we want to be serious about competing.

I was about to post the same thing. I love Riley but we need someone who can get the ball down the field more consistently.

Basing the HC job on a close win or close loss isn't smart. I don't think the actual win/lose of this game will matter.

And I have to say this broadcast is 1,000 times better than last week.

It's on channelsurfing.net now. ULM feed.
