We may all get excited about all these big names coming to Denton but lets remember a few things: 1-We still have to pay out Dodge's contract, and that will handcuff us on paying a big time name coming here. 2-We are in the Sun Belt, and there are going to be a lot of programs in bigger conference opening up this year (Minnesota,New Mexico, Colorado, Georgia, Possibly Michigan) 3-We will have to pay out the remaining contracts of all the assistants through June if none of them are employed by then. 4-There has only been one winning coach in the history of UNT football, Not exactly eye catching for big name coaches. 5-Jim Leavvitt- Do we really want a guy that hit a player at half time in front of his team at halftime, then lied to everyone about it. It was also found in the investigation that he had the kid meet him at a church late at night to come up with a cover up story. 27 Players on USF came to the aid of the alleged victim and told the investigators reports of other verbal and physical abuse. Besides he was making 1Million Plus at USF, not going to come here. 6-Mike Leach- He wont come here regardless of what happens. And why would we want a guy that would be here for no more than 2-3 years and then would leave. Just a reality Check for Mean Green Nation. Lets not give up on this season. The Seniors on this team have been through a lot, and they deserve to be supported through the remainder of the season.

Why why why why??? I am not saying lets name him the Head Coach... lets just give him a shot since we know Dodge is going to be let go. Lets see what happens when he takes over. What do we have to lose? Lets see what the man can do.

And Video #3: HE IS A POSTIVE COACH!!

Most important Fact: Coach Canales has been able to get the gets ready to compete in every game (Except Army) with 12 offensive injuries, #1,#2 QB & Center out for season. Dealing with a death on the team, and still implementing a offense gameplan to keep us competing. No matter who you are if you can still get kids to believe that they can win after all of that, you have to be a good coach. Video #1: Passion for UNT, Gets Players Excited.... Video #2: He is a teacher, he teaches, he doesnt yell. There are my reasons......

Unfotunately we all know that the death row sentence has been set for TD, and at seasons end he will not be the HC any longer. Why not do it now and see what Coach Canales can do. Experience: BYU (Lavell Edwards) NC State (Chuck Amato- Bobby Bowden Tree) New York Jets (Herm Edwards- Tony Dungy Tree) Arizona (Mike Stoops- Bob Stoops Tree) South Florida (Jim Leavvit- Snyder Tree) Recruiting areas in the country: California Arizona Florida Georgia Alabama Louisiana North Carolina East & West Texas (Maybe More, Just look off commits from Rivals) Time at UNT: (2) 400+ yard TTL offense games.

We all know things are pretty low right now and we have a lot to say what "They Should have done." Play they should have called, or pass they should have caught, or a Pick for 6 they drop that you would never do etc.... I feel like I could go on for days. We all know that a football season starts in the Spring the Year before. Now let's go back... Spring Ball '10: Head Coach is told that he has to win more games in one season than he has won in the previous 3 seasons combined. Coach Brings in New Offensive Coordinator that was let go by the USF Jim Leavitt Sacandle. Player are asked to learn a new offense. Season' 10. Before Season Starts: 2 Offensive Injuries Opening Game, @ Clemson. Defending ACC Division Champion. Team plays suprsingly well, 460+ Yards Total Offense, TOP 42 Min, Hold Clemson to 14 in 1st half, and defense holds Clemson Offense to less ttl yards than UNT. Lose 3 Offensive Starters 2nd Game: Opening Game at home vs. Rice, 400+ TTL Yards. Score 31-32. Defense plays tough but again gives up a few key plays Lose 1 Defensive Starter, 3 Offensive Starters Including Center and Starting QB 3rd Game: @ Army. 1st qtr. QB#2 Goes down, Center #2, 2 wr's, 2 OL. Get shutout. 4th Game: Opening Conference Game @ FAU: Starting with QB#3, Arm Injury, cant throw ball 20+yrd. Run ball 40+ Win On the road. Before 5th Game: Walk on WR dies tragically in Car accident day before game, Starting WR is chased by a dog and jumps fence to avoid being bit and punctures chest on lawn furniture and is taken to hospital in Ambulance from Training Facility. Starting OL is bitten by a Brown Reclus Spider(Spelling?)and is taken to hospital because of swollen leg, Playing Status Unkown until kick off. 5th Game: At Home 1-0 In conference, 11 Offensive Injuries out for game. 1 Defensive Player. Need Win for Coach to have hope of keeping his job, coaches and players told all week this was the last hope to save the season, PRESSURE! Offense Struggles early, Defense plays well, 13 Team penalties. New Found Offense Wildcat Star #2 Josh Hamilton gets injured in end of 1st qtr and is out/very limtied in game. Turn Over's by offense, Defense gives up just a couple big plays. 4&1 QB lines up in shotgun, because hasnt taken a snap under center since middle school. 3rd String Center Snaps overhead, 54yrd TD ULL. Open 4th qtr down 14, Defense steps up and has very key stops, offense scores with 7min left. 21-28. Defense holds, Offense starts with ball on own 28yrd line. Drive 60 yards, get to 5 yrd line. Center #3 has 2 False Starts in a row, now ball on 15. You still score with 36sec left on the clock. UNT came back, we are going to Overtime. Nope.. Extra Point is blocked. We lose for the 2nd time at home this season by 1 point. No Opinions stated just facts People. Just a harsh Reality for all of the Mean Green Army.

Video of the team celebrating a sweet conference win on the road.. Everybody counted them out and they went and won. Now Remember the feeling of winning and keep that feeling.
