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

      Let's go totally gangsta, and make a statement with this hire. Let's send notice that North Texas will not tolerate losing to the likes of UTSA. I think we could get this guy as our next DC.............. Jess Loepp https://goutsa.com/sports/football/roster/season/2024/staff/jess-loepp He is currently in his 3rd season as the Runners Defensive Coordinator. And, UTSA doesn't have enough money to stop us from taking him.

      Caponi fired

      Just seeing this!! Fantastic....but...why the wait?? We could tell this was a disaster long before now. Now the season has already been ruined and any interim can't make much impact on changes they might want to make. Regardless.......Great news......just 11 months too LATE!

      A Game To Keep An Eye On

      Two years ago we went toe-to-toe with Boise State in a bowl game. Fast forward to today and Boise State has the inside track to being in the CFP and we’re trending to a #100 ranking. We have Jared Moseley and Eric Morris to thank for that. What a disaster for UNT.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I agree with the reason why most of our alumni don’t care. However I don’t agree with why our administration doesn’t care. I think they want to win on the cheap and not rock the boat with Old Denton. If they wanted to win they would publicly pursued and likely hired one of the high profile younger coaches that made a stop in one of our old conferences or FCS. Lane Kiffin, Larry Coker, Major Applewhite, Dat Nguyen (as a DC), Kevin Sumlin, Doug Williams, Howard Schnellenberger, Briles, Gary Patterson, June Jones, Deion Sanders or etc. Now if Zach Orr becomes a FBS head coach without going directly to a program that has not won multiple P5/P4 conferences title or New Years 6 bowls since 1980 without his agent getting a call from UNT it won’t be a surprise. The only coach hire I was ever slightly excited for was Dan McCarney. I have followed this team as a knowledgeable CFB fan for 25 years.
