This is a great hire and I hope he turns out to be a great AD. C. Dan is more than onboard. He's been one hell of a UNT supporter. Get your tickets folks!

This is funny stuff. It looks like he catches hell for not missing a meal and getting lucky in new jobs. I like it... https://twitter.com/fakewrenbaker

Holy Shit.

Get your season tickets, while they'er cheap, folks. This thing is about to go *BOOM*. The WB is coming to town.

They've made it pretty clear they want the Northern Illinois AD. In addition, they are soliciting big name AD's. I should also mention that they hope Baker stays on as Deputy AD or whatever they call second fiddle. That's a good sign.

I think you are on target here. Just a few more "checks" and we will have ourselves a new AD. Oh man! This is exciting.

This would be huge for UNT.

No doubt. The new guy needs to hurry and work a little magic with "all of his connections." :)

Expect all paperwork complete by EOB tomorrow and an announcement following as soon as logistically smart.

The main point being it's an energetic outsider. I think that was a lot of the concern here on the forum. More to follow. Dottin' "i"s and crossin' "t"s. Should be done sooner than later.

Got word the new AD has a great record, energetic and young, and is not a hire from within. Great news in my opinion.

Well...we could also stay the same...which isn't up. Just sayin'.

Great!

Good prediction based on the past. I talked with a UNT football coach this past weekend and he said they are "all-in" on beating SMU. He said the priority is winning the first one, winning at home, and just winning. Coach speak, of course, but said we will know a lot about the team and the season after the first game.

That would be great. Has anyone contacted Seth?

Got my seats and had a very pleasant experience. No problemos.

This will likely start a rash of new marketing slogans

I am just impressed we fired RV since our most important donor was his friend. This says a lot about our PREZ. I'm also impressed we are having a very visible search for the new AD since we have many other VIDs (Very Important Donors) that are pushing for Hank. I can only hope that since the PREZ has stuck to his guns and sent friends of his own packing that he will do the right thing and let the search committee pick a nationally prominent AD. I really think this will happen and all the HANK NOISE will go mostly away.

I think most will wait to commit support until the hire has been made and the name is revealed. For example, if current personnel are named, which I don't think will happen, I think some will not support this move, and rightly so. We don't need anymore "wait and see", "one more chance", or "maybe next year." We need action! If it's a name from outside the university, I think that more people will support that person, regardless of experience or past. I think all will have an opinion but most will support. So, lets see where the cards fall. I think they will fall the right direction but there's always that group of insiders that want little change and push internal names. This would be no bueno in my opinion.

I like the creativity for acquiring players and I think it should continue but hope less of it will be needed with new recruiting personnel. I also know that locker rooms, facilities, and uniforms are a big part of recruiting. ...and winning.

No.

No Hank. Trip and Co. will ensure its a name with potential. You don't get this many people making this decision to stay internal. That would be a major fail.

Great times. Would be better if home games were not on opening day of hunting season but that's pickin quite a bit. Good schedule.

I just purchased 4 tickets in the Club Level, today, upon hearing the news. There was not a crowd there so I assume many of you are doing this by phone. Let's get more butts in the seats and Go Mean Green!!!

Oh my gosh, I'm so excited...
