They are essentially the same thing.

No they are not. To say otherwise could leave liable for a discrimination lawsuit.

Lol. Don't think I'm getting sued for a message board post so I'll just tell the truth.

Feel better knowing she is at least mid 30s. Still a bit young and a gamble, but maybe one that will finally work out.

While looking for her DOB, I noticed on her LinkedIn page that she belongs to the UNT Alumni group. That's a positive, but only if she can coach and recruit.

Yes, fan message board fodder is one thing but if you were the hiring company and manager you could be in trouble for making such a statement.

Well, since Harry actually made this hire, maybe I should watch my step...

The bigger question is not whether she can recruit or coach but can she hire assistant coaches who can help her sell the program to prospective students to play BB at UNT?

Next question will be can the assistant coaches be effective in their positions whether recruiting, coaching or implementing Jalie Mitchell's vision for UNT BB?

Considering she spent several years in the business world away from basketball, I would say they're different.

As for the hire, I'll be pulling for Jalie to do well. Glad to see one of our own get an opportunity.

Glad to see someone from UNT get the chance to coach here, i will be rooting her on.

Agreed. Wish her nothing but success.

Cant be any worse

Counterpoint: How many times have we said that about a new coach in the past 15 years?

Has it ever happened before in any sport?

(I'm optimistic about this hire-could be great and we need some great news.)

      2025 DC Wish List

      We will need to connect some dots for a potential new DC hire (assuming the interim doesn't get it). First, Caponi had no apparent Texas connections. He was a career defensive asst position coach at several schools, and lastly a CB coach at Iowa State, before being elevated to DC at UNT. He did have some DC time at a Dlll school in 2008-10, but nothing since. Was he elevated too fast? https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-caponi/731 Does Morris have a short-list already? Probably. It's not like everyone didn't know there needed to be a change in DC for some time coming. Here are some starting criteria: -The new DC "should" have previous FCS or FBS DC experience...so a repeat learning-curve doesn't happen. -Texas ties for recruiting would be bonus points. -For a quick hire, I expect it to be someone Morris is already familiar with, no interview needed, only $ negotiated. -Are 2-year contracts a thing for Coordinators in FBS? If not, One-year only please, until we establish confidence. So, with all that in mind: -Find some FCS DCs that Morris worked with somewhere else. -A DC on an FBS staff where the HC has already been fired, or soon will be, but they had a good Defense! (a new HC will bring his own staff in). -A former head coach that has been recently recycled back thru DC to try again.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      In their defense, they probably got influenced by free tickets, the DFW media swooning over them, and want to see why being a real winner feels like.
