None of us were in the room, so purely speculating the other candidates seem to have less enticement to come here. Namely money and waiting for a bigger job. Maybe they weren't excited to build a program up. Morris was hungry for the job. As anyone who has hired, if someone bursts into an interview and eats everyone else's lunch, why wouldn't they get the job?

I'd guess any conversation with GR went the same way too. Dykes makes $6m, so we could guess GR makes 1-1.5m? If we offered him $2m TCU would absolutely be able to match and keep the best assistant in the country.

True true.

You responded like you were that poster, which is why I was asking if you were this Gordo dude. I was referring to him, not you in my previous post, so I was confused as to why you responded like it was directed at you. This board has had people who don't agree, but as long as you present your pov with actual substance and back your arguments with a well thought out response people will listen. Just look at his posts on this thread, can you really take that guy seriously? He brings nothing of value to this board.

He's just a troll. How is it not clear that he's just trying to push people's buttons. Ignore him just like his parents have.

Wait, are you saying that's you? You made a sock account to defend yourself? Don't go RV and say someone hacked your account and that was a mistake. 😂

If you open your mouth with over-reactionary, school disparaging, and immature posts you better be willing to take what's coming your way.

Same. Not the splash we were all hoping for, but he should get a fair shake.

I'd think that Riley and Gillespie are getting serious looks otherwise this announcement would be done by now. It's always delicate when a coach is still in a bowl game, much less the playoffs. Fuente doesn't have a job so if it was him they would want to get him on the recruiting trail asap, so my educated guess is the other two are real candidates.

Why didn't you guys try to keep him at HC? Seems strange. Then again, maybe he wasn't interested. He seems to be doing pretty good now.

You'd think people would have enough sense to not overreact until something official is made. Get a hold of yourselves people.

What's he making at TCU? I know it's a private school so they don't release their numbers, just wondering if anyone knew.

How would we even begin to answer that question without knowing who it is?

Tough grinding victory. Huntsberry is really coming into his own, Scott's hustle is the thing that makes you just want to root for the guy. GCU is a really good team, I wouldn't be surprised if they were in the dance. You can tell both teams really wanted the W. Great win GMG!

I just hope they fill in the logo like here. I've never liked that the CUSA logo at Apogee was just a white outline with the field grass being used to fill it in. We always complain about wrong shades of green being used, I'm surprised no one has made a complaint about it.

I mean UNT has $10m/year to hire Nick Saban or another top coach away right? That's what USC has to work with, IIRC he and his family get a 24/7 access to a private jet. Comparing them to us is ridiculous.

Gary Patterson is such a wild card. I think we all question if he still has the hunger for the the grind to build a program up. I feel like he could be a huge success or a big dud with no in-between.

UNT only had 1 conference loss in October, and was sitting at 6-4 with a very real possibility of running the table to finish 8-4. That would have saved SL's job even with a CCG loss, the university was committed to let SL have a fair shot at keeping his job. The timing isn't perfect for sure, but it's better to do it now than waste another year floundering in the AAC, while having to spend more money because you had to extend your coach. I'd wager a lot of planning and prep had already been put in place by WB, Mosley, and Smatresk.

Last time I checked these students were paying an athletic fee, so your comparison doesn't really work. If for some reason I was the CEO and the employees were paying my salary out of their pocket while I continued to drag the company down, you know I actually would expect to see people show up to chant that I should lose my job.

If the other team can't score you can't lose. I like it.

You've got to rip the bandaid off sometime. This decision has already been delayed a year, we can't afford to delay it for another one. If players leave then so be it, they will do what's best for themselves. I hope whoever is brought in can surprise us in how they can pull guys in from the portal. If the core of this team stays together I would think they would only need to strengthen some spots instead of having to do a full rebuild.

I probably should have made it more obvious that it wasn't a serious post. But I do think he had the hardest hitting defense I've seen.

Maybe not Mac but what's Skladany up to these days? That was the hardest hitting UNT defense I've ever seen.

I wish Seth Littrell nothing but the best. His guys never gave up on him, even when things got grim. We have seen the opposite happen with other coaches, and I think that says more than any words could. Ran a clean program, and was always himself even when people wanted him to be someone in front of the camera that he wasn't, I have a lot of respect for that. I honestly wish he could have been "the guy" and taken to us to mountain top, it just didn't work out. I hope he finds a place to land and can bounce back, I even hope he finds a place and does more than what he did here. Thank you Seth Littrell.

Speak with your wallets. It's the loudest voice you have.
