Hopefully this can give some insight, or at the very least, which way the pendulum is swinging in regards to these two openings: North Texas and Georgia. Because, there's a plethora of chatter regarding these positions, and who perchance is in the mix.

North Texas, came open two weeks ago after Mike Petersen and UNT agreed to part ways. Their AD, Rick Villarreal, has been very matter of fact in looking to quickly replace Petersen. Per multiple sources, the Mean Green are down to their finalists and hope to have a decision soon.

Here are the candidates for the position in no particular order:

Lynn Bria, Stetson: Bria, in 2012, interviewed for the vacant post at North Texas and was offered the job. She turned them down and has continued her success with the Hatters.

My thoughts exactly, if that's true that she turned us down.

Yeah, I don't know that she was really offered. If she did turn us down then there's a host of reasons why she might have ... and after three years those reasons could change. If we liked her before we should talk with her again. I'd love to have her here.

Rick's obviously not in a hurry, or he would have hired someone by now. I think he has someone in mind, but cannot speak to her until her job is done for the year.

With all the tournament games still going on, it's hard to get a coach that is still in the tournament to call you back for a potential interview. Unless you're fine with a coach that didn't make it to one of the tournaments ...

      Prediction vs Army

      Army will have over 500 yards of offense by the end of the third quarter. After watching us against any team with a pulse on offense this year, it's probably not going to be a fun game for the home team.

      Brief History of the Mean Green

      And, while Joe Greene played at North Texas in the late 60s, the nickname “Mean Green” is actually in reference to the stingy defensive line (?) of that era.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      entirely based on previous season stat lines and presumed fit, I mentally have Massie starting at the 4...he seems to bring a little bit more offensive game than Newell, and while he gives up some inches he did average more boards and he's pretty range-y and like Walker, averaged over a steal/game last season. plus assuming Vice and Smith aren't contributors this season, Newell and Lorient off the bench can give enough height to sort of combo man the 4/5 spot...neither is really a 5, but together you can get a rotation with Sissoko

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      I'd take him from a talent standpoint in a heart beat. He's from Baton Rouge but attended Trinity Christian Academy (Cedar Hill) where he lead them to their private school's state championship. I really wanted him at UNT but he signed with Texas A&M. We are starting to bring in a number of 1 year players as well, so why not. Great rebounder and shot blocker at 6-9. Don't really think there would be mutual interest though.
