Texas State football set to hire G.J. Kinne
DentonLurker replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Football
That's wild. Just this morning, reports were they were hiring Eric Morris. -
Who's won our conference titles since 2004
DentonLurker replied to eppy4life's topic in Mean Green Football
Ye? That you? -
Anything else is just speculation. I may be the minority here or even naïve, but I don't believe the Lovelaces are holding this football program hostage just to keep SL. They haven't been as successful in business as they have been from never making hard decisions.
-
Just because you disagree with the decision he made to keep SL doesn't mean he didn't make an important decision about the football coach. He chose to keep him. Many here would have fired him. The reality is he still made a decision. And to many outside of the UNT world, they probably look at football's results during WB's tenure at UNT as pretty good.

I agree. I could buy into Mosley, given he's been an AD and seems to have his ear to the ground for good coaches. My only hesitation with him would be that a good number of the operational issues this year seem to fall under his umbrella (facilities/game operations, marketing/promotions, strategic communications).

I've followed athletic administrators for a while now. Weird hobby, I know... Chris Park, Deputy AD, Texas A&M would be my first phone call if I was president - P5/G5/Texas experience - External Operations background (fundraising, ticket sales, marketing, etc.) 12th Man Bio- Chris Park

What Are You Looking For in a New AD?
DentonLurker replied to MeanGreenGlory's topic in Mean Green Football
1. Hire good coaches and figure out how to keep them here 2. Fundraise, fundraise, fundraise . . . . Literally anything else -
They should have met with the players. I would hope an AD/president know players enough to walk in, hear them out, and say “You can trust that I have your best interest in mind through all of this.” If the AD has taken the time to get to know the players even a little bit, they should be able to trust him/her to make a good decision. This isn’t rocket science or letting the players make the decision. It’s leadership and transparency with some of the key stakeholders in this decision.

I think most good transfer movement will be players following their current coaches, at least early on in the transfer window. The rest will shake itself out in the coming weeks. Transfer players enjoy being courted as much as HS players do. I don’t think a ton of movement will occur right away. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s what my gut says.
-
I'll also add that I think Ryan Walters would be a good hire, given that he goes out and hires a good offensive mind for his OC. Ryan's young and a great DC and recruiter by most accounts. I think he'll be a great HC when given his shot.

I think this is a false sense of urgency. Coaches and players are going to continue to shuffle in the coming weeks. Waiting until after the CCG will be fine. There are 131 FBS jobs, and with the facilities upgrades that have happened over the last few years and the commitment from administration at UNT, this is a better job than it was 8 years ago. There will be good candidates who want this job should it open up. I think that, should a change in leadership of the FB program be made, next year is going to be another tough year no matter who takes over.

I know everyone keeps talking about the bowl game in relation to SL’s status. Honestly, I don’t think it’s even going to matter. My guess is the decision about whether or not to move on happens after the UTSA game. I think if he wins, he stays. If he loses, he’s gone. If he loses, the talking point will be that our expectations are conference championships and he’s just not been able to get us there. I think that’s fair to all parties.

How would you ever trademark just changing the colors of a design you didn’t originate?

It’s so weird trying to figure out what his role even really was at Michigan. On their game notes, he’s listed as “Associate Head Coach/Special Advisor” listed under Analysts. He’s not even a position coach. So strange. How is the Associate Head Coach not even a position coach? He looks like a rich guy who decided he wanted to coach, bought a high school football team and really talented players, parlayed that into an analyst job at Michigan, and now the HC job at Charlotte. Am I missing something? Seems like a Maryland Private High School version of Todd Dodge. Based on what criteria?

I’m out on Herman. Too many issues after leaving each of his last few stops. Whether you believe the things that came out after he left or not, where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.

This is such a sobering reality of the support this program receives to think about playing for a spot in the conference championship game in front of 10k people. Sad.

Another reason why I'm glad we're out of CUSA
DentonLurker replied to meanJewGreen's topic in Mean Green Football
I guess this is a good move if you prefer TV money over getting fans in the stands. I’d rather them put the games on Facebook on a Saturday than play on Tuesday night, personally. There has to come a point where programs prefer fans in the stands over TV on a Tuesday for the G5 programs to ever grow their season ticket and donor bases. -
Oh, good grief. I didn’t say he doesn’t have time. I have no idea what his schedule this week looks like. My point is that he does support UNT. I’ve seen him at football, basketball, etc. You can see that by scrolling through his tweets/retweets related to UNT. The presence of a tweet about TWU this week does not equate to a lack of support of UNT.
