So now the question is what will RV be looking for in a coach? One who has head coaching experience at Div 1, Div 11? Do they have strong ties in Texas? Will they have had a previous working relationship with RV? Will it be done by committee?

Please provide any insights.

The question should be why do you trust this AD to hire yet another coach?

And bet your ass there will be a 5 year contract, because that's the way things were done in the 90s.

just sayin.

But your not saying when you posted this in another thread that, not only had nothing to do with football, but had nothing to do with North Texas either.

Well, the OU frat daddies are right about one thing... there will never be a black person in their chapter of SAE. I hope there will never again be an OU SAE.

Just sayin'

Ah, a 2013 grad. I see you just don't understand what major news it is here when we actually fire a coach before the end of his 4th year.

This should actually be penned at the top of every forum on this board.

That's how big this news is.

Don't know but rest assured that the term "success" as you and I and most of the free world define it probably won't be factored in?

Coach Petersen is one of the best people and coaches Ive ever been around, and Im as surprised as anyone that we are at this point, UNT athletic director Rick Villarreal said in a prepared statement. Everywhere that he has been hes been successful, unfortunately that hasnt been the case here. I appreciate all of the time, commitment and hard work that both he and Patty [Petersen's wife] have shown to us and this community. They will always be a part of our family.

In the two major programs Peterson has been a part of, TCU and Wake Forest, he never took them to the NCAA and went a combined 147-150.

So there you go.

I get your point Rick, but RV shouldn't speak ill of the recently departed. It would be a very rare set of circumstances to trigger anything more forthright or nasty than this.

.

Sorry, but he was a POS to some of the girls on this team and ran some of them off.

http://www.dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/north-texas-headlines/20130415-women-s-basketball-goodwin-blakely-wont-return-next-year.ece

And when Goodwyn's Freshman Player Of The Year trophy came in he didn't even have the class to send it to her or pick up the phone and notify. He simply told the local reporter to put it out there in case anyone related to her was interested in coming by and picking it up. He's a classless asshat that doesn't deserve being spoken well of by anyone at North Texas.

Good riddance!

Petersen was 125-123 at Wake. Doesn't look so bad when compared to his successor who is 41-55 after 3 years.

I thought Petersen was an OK hire, but it sure didn't turn out that way. He was given a lot of talent from the departing Aston, but couldn't keep the best players. He no longer could recruit and looks like he was just going through the motions last year.

Whoever comes in, is going to have to completely rebuild. All the best players from a very bad squad were seniors. Unlike Aston, Petersen is leaving nothing.

It is going to be tough to find a good coach that wants to come into this mess, not to mention RV's horrible record hiring WBB coaches.

Well, since he's already gotten his (administrative) ass whipped by a female, maybe he could pick up the phone and see if Ms. Hickey (UTSA) has any suggestions. I think he can find her phone number on their web-site............... B)

Great...RV's next hire has the "bare cupboard" excuse built in

      I believe that is how a majority of changes are made at the FBS level = Fan Base and Donor pressure! Who else are you trying to lure to watch games and give to the program?

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I don’t know why we are nitpicking the legacy of the only coach in 50 years that has put multiple team trophies in our trophy case. If you omit coaches who earned Hall of Fame status after leaving here you are left with Odus Mitchell and Dickey as the only coaches to ever “dominate” any conference for any length of time. Now looking back through history I am even more frustrated that in 2004 it appears we never tried to get Jerry Moore to come back to UNT. But come to think of it, maybe it is karma. A program that raves about Hayden Fry every opportunity rarely honor Odus Mitchell properly. A 20 year tenure with 10 conference titles. We should be playing on Odus Mitchell Field inside (DATCU, Apogee, or whatever corporation that wants cough up naming rights money) stadium.

      Ha! There should be a segment on the Sundays ROF podcast that discusses potential hires. We’ll see if they go into details of the names.
