You thoughts? This was a tough one for me. Rawlins hit for the best average but you have to consider Pohl getting a traditionally anti athletic campus back on track. You could argue had Pohl not done what he did Rawlins wouldn't have been in a position to get everything he was able to get done. If it were for academics alone I think Hurley would have to be at the top of the list just because he kept us a viable academic university on piss poor state funding and didn't allow us to be taken over by A&M or UT Systems... a fact I am very proud of to this day. Simply put, Hurley kept us in the game. As an aside -- I found it interesting that we had a president named John Joseph Kamerick (1968-1970) who was opposed to the Vietnam War and was forced out of his office from then governor Preston Smith... After Kamerick we had we had 5 different presidents for the span of 12 years (1970-1982) prior to Al Hurley...wow - points to a real instability right about the same time that we lost Hayden Fry and ended up going to I-AA and the Southland conference. I would be interested to know what caused that period, if it was funding, or political etc... After reading some of Fry's book it made me wonder what was going on behind the scenes in the administration at North Texas during that time.
