Hell no for Dooley. I grew up a Vols fan, and that is not a guy I ever want to see coach my team again. He had the biggest recruiting budget in the country and he did an awful job with it, and really sucked at getting the hometown players. No way he could get good classes here.

Completely agree. Need recruiting and offense without it being Todd Dodge. I know that was traumatic, but it is possible. I don't mind a consultant if they do actually understand what we need in a coach to win here.

SIAP, but wow! That is a lot of money from an extension that should've never happened. Let's make sure a coach can recruit, bring in and develop a QB, and win with his own signees before we extend him. Really the only exception to that should be if that coach is actually going to get hired away if we don't do so, which was not the case either here. Lesson learned the hard way. Again.

It would be a good pool of candidates, if they all were interested. The reactions from this tweet have all been that this these big school guys are way out of our range. I'm interested if that is truly the case or not. I am absolutely terrified that the man who believes this was a good hire, considering where the program currently sits, is set to make our next hire.

I'd be okay with that too. Gotta ask, honestly, what do you think about the fact that the 6 (Jalie will be the 7th) hires RV has made in the last 10 years in football, men's basketball, and women's basketball are a combined 128 games under .500?

Either we're really spot on, or this dude's just reading this thread. Also, people responding are showing what we already know. The perception of this program is that it's a dead-end job. Also, RV.

here you go, @UNT90

No it's not. Plenty of great candidates who most fans have never heard of. It's pretty obvious the average UNT fan watches UNT, maybe some CUSA, and then big-time P5 football like most people. That's mainly due to the fact that those are the games on TV and teams being talked about on ESPN. Jim Tressell is the President at Youngstown State. If he left that position it wouldn't be to coach here. That's not defeatist, but realistic. Broaden your scope. It doesn't have to be someone most of us have heard of to be a good hire. Or it could be. Either way, it has to be the right fit and not just someone we've seen on ESPN.

The current seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen at Baylor were seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen in high school respectively when RGIII won the Heisman. Which is honestly when most recruits actually start paying attention.

If those guys like Cumbie and Briles won't the job, they should be considered. But those guys are used to recruiting to schools kids want to go to and see on TV growing up. Something to strongly consider. My guy is still Brad Smiley from Trinity Valley Community College. Best recruiting coach in all of Junior College, does a great job with academics, taking in non-qualifiers and getting them into D1 universities, was the recruiting coordinator at Tulane, can get the guys we need out of DFW, East Texas, and elsewhere. His team beat Blinn today, and they probably could've done the same to us today.

Wow. NT03 showed me this. Dude seriously appears to be showing no feeling of accountability towards the man he was hyping up as his pride and joy hire. It's looking like he really does want to make this next hire. I would be surprised if he steps down.

Yes, thanks a lot for some good times, and great passion. It takes more than that, but absolutely he deserves praise for the drive and commitment he had for this job.

Absolutely not.

Worst loss by an FBS/1A school to an FCS/1AA team in college football history.

I've never seen any team lose this bad to a team from a lower division or subdivision. This is unmatched by any embarrassment I've ever seen

This Southern Miss team is a lot better than the 2014 Mean Green. The feeling is the same, though. Which is what you were getting at. But we are not quite Nicholls State. Although they do have more 2016 commits than we do.

With Southern Miss losing to Marshall tonight 31-10, our opponents now fall to 1-7 in games following their respective victories against North Texas. At least we're roughing up these great teams for their following games! All but one of those losses have been by less than double digits, and that was when SMU lost to FCS James Madison.

I don't know if you were trying to bait this response or not, but here's a redshirting freshman tight end on our roster who apparently could never hope to play QB for this staff. http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/152946/kevin-dillman

MTSU is not only a good team, and not only is that a road game, but they have a good QB and passing game. I don't think we beat any teams that have a decent or better passing game. We are just so bad against the pass. Did I mention Coach Mac hasn't done a backflip since 6th grade?

We had a BA quarterback competition of our own. Emphasis on the B.

Absolutely. Good to see the NCAA put common sense first.

We definitely agree on that, and have made similar posts. No G5 in recent memory has been a BCS buster type team without a prolific offense.
