We are winning in Apogee.  It's away from Apogee where we have a problem...

 

I also forgot to mention that during RV's tenure, we have appeared in 2 of our 3 total men's NCAA tournament appearances in history.  Also during RV's reign of terror, we have played in 5 of the 7 total bowl games in our history (5/14, still needs to be 50%+).  

I hate to come off as a supporter, because I am actually on the fence with RV.  I recognize some of the positive things he has done, but I still feel like there should be more.  The big 3 sports should maintain records at or above .500 for example. 

I haven't taken the time to look at the other sports to see what our results have been, but I know that there has been some success in those sports.

As Oldguy pointed out, you might be surprised at what executives in the 'real world' get away with.

Over half the teams now go to a bowl games, also believe me RV had very little to do with DD's success.  RV didn't hire him and the two didn't exactly work well together.  Jones no doubt was a very good hire.   RV's only hires in football are the totally unprepared Dodge and McCarney, who is still in the evaluation stage.  However, RV totally erred by extending McCarney giving NT very few options even if this year is a disaster. 

No doubt Benford was a horrible hire even if he does turn things around this year.  The team went from the verge of national prominence to to the bottom third of NCAA bb and the best team in the Metromess to the worse.   His two WBB hires have been almost unbelievably bad.  With Jalee, he made another splash relatively high risk hire. 

RV should be given credit for upgrading the other sports which with the exception of soccer were overall non-competitive.

      Mean Green Host FAU Sunday

      DENTON – Riding a four-game winning streak, the UNT men’s basketball team hosts Florida Atlantic Sunday aiming to improve to its conference record to 6-1, which would be its best seven-game start to a league schedule since 1989. Sunday’s tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. CT from the Super Pit. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and on ESPNU. North Texas (14-4, 5-1) enters Sunday’s game with a 10-0 record at home this season. It’s the first time they’ve won the first 10 home games in a season since 2018-19. They haven’t had an 11-0 record at home since the 2010-11 season when they won the first 12 home games of the year. The Mean Green’s 5-1 league record this season while impressive is not unfamiliar to the program. It is the seventh straight year North Texas has won five of its first six league games in a season. However, they haven’t had a 6-1 league record since 1989 when they were in the Southland Conference and finished with a 10-4 league record and won the SLC regular season championship. It would be the program’s last conference regular season title until 2020. UNT’s 14-4 overall record is tied for its fourth-best 18-game start to a season in program history but once again not unfamiliar to recent memory. This is the third year in the last four where the Mean Green have won 14 of their first 18 games to a season. Sunday North Texas hosts an Owl (10-9, 3-3) team that is under the leadership of first-year head coach John Jakus who for the previous seven seasons served on the staff at Baylor and helped lead the Bears to the 2021 National Championship. FAU enters Sunday having last played a week ago as they beat Rice at home 75-73 on Jan. 13. Two of the Owls’ three conference wins this season have been on the road. They beat East Carolina and Charlotte on the road in early January. The Mean Green lead the all-time series history against FAU 14-11 but heading into Sunday have lost five straight to the Owls. After Sunday’s game against FAU the Mean Green travel north to face Wichita State on Wednesday.
