RV get on the phone hire him today!!!

This last one if loaded with talent several are starting and contributing this season as true freshman. I think the three best pickups are all red shirted with howard, Harrison and Dillman

He also had something else no other UNT coach never had.

I'm telling you.

I was comparing Art Briles going to Houston with Mike Jinks coming to UNT. and I Jinks coming to UNT follows with the same success that Briles had at Houston can catapult Jinks to an even bigger job and help put the UNT job back on the map. UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON 111 GAMES BEFORE BRILES 32-79 WITH BRILES 34-28 I believe we would all be okay with Jinks going 34-28 with a couple bowls games. UNT is 73-140 in past 213 games

I like it.

with rick making the hire... it is very possible

He says he will want to run a offense similar to Gus Malhzans. they like to run. we can run we just have trouble throwing so it might work out

Tim Horton stated in the article Harry posted that he wants to run. and he was on the Air Force staff for several years running the triple option. I am definitely okay with running the triple option. With Wilson and Ivery and Smith as qb you are already got a good started pack. because we sure as hell cant throw the ball

BREAKING NEWS TIM HORTON IS HIRED!!!!! ALL BECAUSE HE IS A VEST GUY.. JUST LIKE RV..

yeah I def understand what your are saying. I am just making a point if it is between Mike Jinks and Tim Horton (or a guy in that range) i will be doing a celebratory dance to get Jinks..

After reading more about him. Out of all the realistic possible choices for next coach at UNT. He could very well be my new favorite candidate. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE Fritz, Applewhite, Norvell, Riley, Briles, and Thomsen. But I don't think that a few of these are ready or willing to take over a program like UNT and I think Fritz next move will be to a P5 school. Now here are the reason why I think Jinks would be a good fit. 1) There is several similarities with him and Papa Briles. Longtime and successful High school head coaches. Both running back coaches at Tech. And both in the their early 50s when they get their first shot at coaching D1 football if Jinks came to UNT. 2) He would bring an uptempo offense 3) Lots of Texas ties. I would hope he would get some assistants to help build relationships with DFW and east texas area. but as far as the San Antonio area it sound like he is a living legend down there and could really open up a pipeline out of their. And I think we all would love picking players right out of UTSA backyard. 4) UTSA is practically begging for this guy to be their next head coach on their message boards. He is like the Lincoln Riley, Briles or Fritz of rowdy talk. So it would be nice to snag him right out from under them. 5) Kliff had to think alot of him to promote him to associate HC in a short time. 6) I think he would be energize and has a tract record of winning. As long as he can bring in good assistants I think he would be about the best hire we can make at this points. Definitely hands down better than anyone else on Vito lists unless the mystery candidate is golden ticket. Idk just my opinion may be way off

high school football players will recognize briles over fritz ....

i have said it numerous times here on the board i love Fritz, I think their is a ton of us on here on the board that would love to have him here. I HOPE I AM WRONG, but i just don't see him making a lateral move or even backwards when he is one step away from a P5 school. Only way we have a chance is if he has zero desire to coach at a P5 school and just wants to get back to Texas.

he is getting paid $0 now to coach Georgia Southern? because how do we know we are going over a million for a coach?

agreed

UTSA comes up with the W against Rice.

my thoughts exactly he has nothing to lose.. but he can fill his pockets a little bit and gain some coaching experience. If it isn't UNT he will be a head coach some where some day. and i hope we dont turn him down and he goes to a ULM or a school like that and turns out to be his dads protege and sits the world on fire. and we are still sitting here saying man i wish he were only older..i wish he had more experience.. blah blah blah

He was just out dated. His gameplan. His playbook. His recruiting. His philosophy. Great speaker and great guy but other than that he drove thus program in the ground with his hard headed and stubborn ways

i was expecting alot worse.

IMO its a good thing for us because its a spash for UNT ... the only other splashes for us lately have been Portland st beat down and a banner flying..

good thing Memphis and Houston didnt wait around for Fuente and Herman (or PAPA Briles for that matter) to get more experience
