updated poll is up

sorry, a legitimate candidate that isn't obvious.

no zombies, they tend to bite people.

If you guys give me a legitimate dark horse candidate i will add him to this poll or create a new poll. Dennis Green to me is not a candidate for North Texas because he is focused on getting back in the NFL.

These are the most common and realistic answer I received on my other topic. If there is anybody else you think should be on this poll let me know. I updated the poll & added 2 defensive guys & got rid of the low votes.

i am going to see if any other names come up in the next 24 hours or so. then i probably will have something for you.

Updated List: Unrealistic: Steve Kragthorpe - Former Louisville & Tulsa HC Tommy Bowden - Former Clemson HC Phillip Fulmer - Former Tennessee HC Mike Leach - Former Texas Tech.

really have you read other post on here most are negative and talk about giving up, i am talking about a subject that could give us hope next year or the coming years. it is not hard to get good recruits from texas and win 7 or 8 games to get into the sun belt conference hunt. you just need a good head coach who can recruit texas and hire a decent staff.

lets look at the facts we are 0-2, have lost our starting cb & starting qb. our next 2 games are on the road. 3 of the last 5 games are on the road. We have troy, @ middle tenn and kansas st. in the last 3 of 4 games. the odds are not good. if anymore injuries pile up we might be looking at another 2-10 season or worse. so looking at possible coaching candidates is not a bad thing and your coach having a 5-31 record doesn't give much hope. if you don't want to give a name don't post a comment. i thank all of those who have given serious ideas. so if some of you please give actual ideas. thank you.

I understand some of you are trying to be funny, but please give me some serious answers. I would like to know what some of you think.

Realistically looking at the rest of the schedule, Coach dodge will finish 5-7 or 6-6. Which has already been said is not good enough to keep him after this year. The North Texas program is a appealing job for some coaches, because of the location and the brand new stadium that will be ready next year. So who would you bring in to bring back glory to North Texas? An Alumni? A FCS Head Coach? A Former FBS Head Coach? A Hot Offensive or Defensive Coordinator? A Assistant With A Good Recruiting Background? If you had your pick who would you choose? -Personally i would hire Trooper Taylor from Auburn. -Solid Position coach with Texas roots. One of the nations best young recruiters. Former Co-Off. Coordinator for Oklahoma St. when Dez Bryant and Kendal Hunter had good seasons. Has coached 1000 yd WR's & RB's.
