Good job RV. Now do us all a real favor and quit. Just walk away.

Why do you need to know the financial arrangements? You planning on donating some money to help with it? If not then JSTFU about it. Because there are people out there taking care of that, and it i

I doubt she would leave to work for this administration after witnessing how her staff was treated three years ago? Maybe at another time down the road? Rick

Breaking news: RV does the right thing and buys out a failing coach

GMG.com reaction: Hang RV! He ruh-heally f'd it up this time!

Not how I read it. More like shock followed by realization that RV is now looking to make another hire in the "big" 3 sports.

torn because there should have been 2-3 parting agreements, but I guess one is enough for now, but now we have to deal with another major hire by RV.

Mitchell would be nice but RV does not hire UNT Alum to coach.

Breaking news: RV does the right thing and buys out a failing coach

GMG.com reaction: Hang RV! He ruh-heally f'd it up this time!

When your AD signs a women's basketball coach to a 5-year contract at about $200K a year, more than UTSA's men's coach who beat us twice this year, and that coach goes 28-61 and fails to make your own conference tournament, and you're forced to buy out two years of that contract when your university is in a tough spot financially, what university would the AD not get backlash for a transpiring like that?

Or does he hire an alum?

If he does great, but hopefully this time judging coaching ability works out, scary that I long for the days of Slinker .500 record and one or two WNITs

That's easy.

Next to JJ, Aston was RV's best hire on that list of Billy's, considering taking a 4-20 something disaster of a team team and missing going 16-15 by one point is miraculous. Now whether RV actually went to find her or she found him is another story. But still, RV hired her and gets credit for that hire.

I'll say it again, if Donna Capps isnt interested any more it's time for youth from a lower level/Division.

I know you liked her, but she was one game under .500 in her very brief UNT career.

I always love it when a coach needs to be replaced. Suddenly everyone becomes an arm-chair AD and has their own short list of people that make the best hire.

Should be a fun couple weeks.

We don't need to wait until there is a coach search to be armchair ADs.

No doubt. There is a new football schedule out every year, after all...

So not an ounce of respect for Aston the basketball coach from you? One point away from taking someone else's 4-24 team to 16-15? One point?

And by the way, they lost yesterday to Baylor in the Big 12 Championsjip game. It was the first time in over ten years Texas had been to their tourney championship game, in only her third season there.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Agreed. No issue at all. People said for years that Kyler was too small. He’s pretty OK, I guess. We don’t need or expect a Kyler, but JimJim should be given every opportunity to compete, regardless of height.

      We rarely get pressure without blitzing people and leaving gaps in our coverage. Moving, I hope, to a four man front and running a more traditional system should help. I don’t think this is purely a talent issue. I think we have very capable players on D that are being put into a system that they’ve never played.

      What to expect from Odom?

      I played baseball and coached softball. No football so I’m lacking the game plan knowledge. I realize there only 2, potentially 3 games left. Know you can’t install a new system or overhaul. But there can be some tweaks, I’m sure. historically, what kind of defenses was Odom associated with? 4-man fronts? Blitzing? Heavy man-coverage? Will we / can we notice a difference as we close out the season? The players will notice a difference, I’m sure, but will we? Honest answers and discussion.

      I appreciate Morris’ honesty and lack of coach speak. I would like to see him succeed here but he has to dial back the aggressiveness on fourth downs a tad. I think getting the defense squared away will help greatly just by taking pressure off of the offense where they feel they have to score every possession. I am intrigued to see what Odom does with this group the remainder of the year. He has a pretty solid resume.
