You should definitely have a level of expectations when you are investing fiscally and emotionally into a program. You have earned that right. I'd dare say that given the support of athletics at UNT (public record) most on here do not.

Obviously confused and missed the entire point. Read back further.

I'm all of them. I don't believe in kicking someone when their obviously already down. That takes a narrow mind and cruel personality type. All my life I've engaged with coaches and know that it's only the passion that allows them to take such heat from uninformed fan boards. If anyone has ever been fired from your regular job....could you imagine random people celebrating over your demise. Your AD is not the best, but I'd never call for someone's job. I'm sure most of you are not the best in your given professions; so would you appreciate the same response to your shortcomings.

This board belittles former coaches beyond belief and now you are sensitive. Hilarious!

Well if you knew; all your previous conversations regarding the matter are moot points. Someone remarked that how could you know that TX would come calling; the question is why didn't you know. Maybe 1 year was good enough for you all.

You are mistaken. I said people in the know; which means basketball know (Your guy is a football man; begging to be a baseball man) He didn't know. He missed on a big pay off. UT has a real athletic budget. He actually thought he had lucked up and got a woman to take a huge reduction in pay, come to a lesser conference to a school with no post-season NCAA success because.....that is actually a good question of why he didn't look too deep for the hidden agenda. Or maybe he was just so happy; he would take her for one year. Ashton is sharper and crafter than the lot of you. (Even if you don't believe; just think-why would a seasoned, successful coach WRITE in such a small buy-out.....she is worth more than that walking into the door...she knew she wouldn't be there long and she didn't want to mess up her future money with a buy out that even Peterson could secure) She is also luckier. She was betting she would have to do a 2 year stint, but the UT powers moved quicker when they saw their perfectly placed gem within their "eyes" sight and back on Texas soil. The rest is history, but I guess breaking news to the Mean Green.

Well if it wasn't a waste -you all should feel used. Those in the know, actually knew UT was going to make a move and since their 1.25M experiment from Duke didn't work out; the TX powers that be; vowed never to go back outside of TX for their next hire. Ashton used UNT as a pawn and sad thing is that you guys still didn't know it 3 years later. Your AD might get a little help from you so called fans if you'd actually support women's sport with attendance and money instead of acting cowardly and fussing about hires on a blog. Real support; not uninformed blog chatter.
