Green Otaku

I for one am glad to close the chapter on the SL era of football. This game exemplified what has been wrong these last few years. It also reinforces that getting rid of SL was the right choice. It's time to go a different direction and move forward.

Wondering the same thing.

Agreed. He looks like a beast and has a smooth shot, if we can get 5-6 points a game out of him we'd be in a really good place. Would like to see him more as well as Christian Moore, who's looked great the few minutes we've seen him.

This and the GCU/UTA will really help our team on away games in conference. You need to build up that tough away game mentality, and even better when you can build up your confidence with wins.

Agree it should stay in the middle. Troy didn't seem to have a problem putting their scoreboard above their athletic center.

I'm hoping something is announced soon. We really need to get this project going to be competitive in recruiting.

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.
