This has RV's fingerprints all over it, just like hiring coaches, we'll have to do this locker room over again a lot sooner than others because we didn't do it right the first time.

Probably a Wren Baker thing, I bet he wants all of his coaches to have a presence on social media.

It is. 5 games not on TV this season. 2 seasons ago, every game was on TV, last season, only the Portland St game wasn't televised. Big time let down.

That would be a question for our, hopefully soon to be former, head of corporate sponsorship, Hank Dickenson. Now that RV is gone, I hope we partner up with IMG or Learfield to land some of these big national sponsorships. http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2014/05/26/In-Depth/Allstate.aspx As of 2013 here are the schools with the Allstate nets, plenty of G5, low exposure schools on the list: Akron, Alabama, Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Ball State, Baylor, Boise State, Bowling Green, Brigham Young, California, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Clemson, Colorado, Colorado State, Connecticut, East Carolina, Florida, Florida State, Fresno State, Georgia Tech, Hawaii, Houston, Idaho, Iowa, Jacksonville State, James Madison, Kansas State, Louisville, LSU, Maryland, Memphis, Miami, Minnesota, Mississippi State, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, N.C.

Hank'ed

Hank and company are in denial.

I continue to be baffled about some members of this fan base obsession with "access" to the AD and coaches. Who gives a crap if you can't get within 100 feet of Nick Saban, he wins football games. You met Seth and Harrell, woop-dee-freakin'-do. I don't want their handshakes, I want them to win some damn football games.

RV's Chief of Excuse Making is doing what he does best. It will be a good day when Hank, Nitardy and Batchelder leave Denton.

George was embarrassing. I lost a lot of respect for him that night. Everybody before him had articulate comments and ideas and didn't name names or call anybody out past or present. For all of the anti-Hank sentiment on this board, it was George who first spoke of his name that night, it wasn't necessary. Especially when it was said by the organizers many times that the goal of the meeting was to find out what has been going on with the athletic department. It wasn't the time or place for campaign speeches. George lost me from the beginning when he was bashing what he saw as the us vs them mentality, yet there was only one speaker who walked up to a microphone that bashed fans and furthered the us vs them mentality. His name is George Dunham. Shameful.

Benford stammering and wiping flop sweat off his forehead

I'm glad there wasn't an official email sent from the athletic department about this thing. The time or date or something else important would have been wrong. Less confusion.

Buh-bye. Getting rid of the bad apples one by one. Benford, you're next!

Ernie wanted to keep RV. Smatresk wanted to fire RV. Ernie allowed RV to be fired only if his family picks the new AD. And throw a scholarship for the 15 year old grandson in there too.

The North Texas good ol' boy system is alive and well. This was probably RV's last act as AD. Doing his enabler a solid by giving his grandson a scholarship that he probably doesn't deserve at this point. RV has to thank Ernie somehow for letting him stay as AD for so long.

I'm sure his granddaddy has absolutely NOTHING to do with this.

As long as it isn't Hank or god-forbid, Paul Batchelder.

YES! YES! YES! Good riddance, jackass.

Are we the only team in the country that has a totally different style between our home and away unis?

Cool red shirt

The man is delusional. Not only does he need to be relieved of his duties, he needs to be sent in for mental evaluation.

Exactly why I absolutely hate our billboards that have the girl with green hair that says "Creative by Choice" yuck. That's our worst billboard yet.

I'm ready for new content from our AD and administration. Every game tells the same story from the same people. It's old and tired.

So we're concerned about losing players from a team that went 12-20. Makes sense. According to @flyonthewall the big donors said Benford had to win this season ... unless firing him will make their little buddy look bad, then winning can wait. In case you didn't need anymore proof that there's no commitment to winning here, this athletic department operates and the big donors give just enough to build infrastructure to keep up the appearance of a healthy FBS program and to preserve their loser buddy his job. Vote with your wallet, there are plenty of other ways to fund scholarships for students with limited opportunity without giving to the athletic department and giving RV a vote of confidence.

RV will be gone when he wants to retire or when the 17 no longer want him here. Do as I and others have done and vote with your pocketbook. There are plenty of other ways to help fund scholarships for students with limited opportunities without giving to the athletic department. The athletic department doesn't have a monopoly in helping out students that may not otherwise go to college.

A neutral site surprise like a loss to a D2?
