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.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
