I wouldn't go that far just yet.

Shaka Smart made his name at VCU by running a high tempo full court defense and he recruited guys that fit that style. When he got to Texas the top recruits did not want to play that style because it wasn't NBA basketball. Therefore he had to use a system other than what got him hired at Texas in the first place. That's not the full reason why he didn't succeed at Texas but it's a part of it. I think this example is why Grant should be very choosy about leaving North Texas for another school. He may get a bigger paycheck but may struggle with players who don't fit what he wants to do or have to coach a different type of game.

From the highlight that arena looks a little dark, like its something from the 80's or earlier.

Depends on the goal. I doubt we’ll ever break into the top echelon of college football. This is in large part because of the current state of college football. The top of college football, and college sports in general, are running away from everyone else and leaving little hope for anyone to catch up.. Our entire athletics is about as good as it’s going to get right now. Footbal may be able to put together a few top 20 seasons but not consistently and it wont be enough to move us up to a top conference.

Should most or all of the blame for this fall on Judy? I'd think there might be some schools' leadership that is also part of the issue.

And we care about this because ... ?

I suppose Seth believes they need some guys who can play immediately.

Last one out, turn off the lights.

I'm rooting for the Bengals.

It's the same with UNT donors. :)

For me the worse part was watching our "best" quarterback play awful and wonder what will next season look like.

We already know Ruder is worse.

Austin Aune ... the best QB on the roster. And somehow Littrell is still the head coach.

Other than Mason, Seth has shown he cannot recruit or develop D1 quarterbacks. Maybe one day he'll get lucky and find another Mason ... or we'll get lucky and we'll get a new head coach.

What's with these horrible officials?

Someone said coaches wanted Aune to return next year. If true, it highlights how bad Littrell is at identifying good QB's.

Really? Is that all you got? 1:07 ... 98 yards ...

He never should have left coaching at the HS level.

I like Kitna. I've watched some of his coaching videos and he is very detailed oriented. If he's interested I would be interested.

Since Mason left we've seen the guys and it hasn't been good.

Go home. You're drunk.

I agree that Mason and the entire offense definitely regressed when Harrell. However, even with Harrell here they didn't bring in someone who could follow Mason.

What does that have to do with anything? The point is, Mason is the only quarterback Seth has brought to UNT that is a successful D1 QB.

It's been worse than than. He hasn't recruited a D1 QB since his first, Mason Fine.

Who?
