5-foot-10 Mansfield Timberview QB who just decommitted from Texas State

Great Write up! I saw this kid decommit a week or so ago before the firing I think it was but I was thinking to myself how great it would be to just offer this kid a scholarship and see what happens with this kid if we were able to land him. Now we have no coach and he will be picked up by another D1 program

He will most likely be picked up or offered by other programs, but if we get a guy like Applewhite, Cumbie or an offensive guy there is a chance we can get in on him. 

Im just wondering how small our class will end up being.

I really really Really want either one of those guys. I have changed my mind on Kendal Briles just because he doesnt have any skins on the walls. We will start getting better offensive athletes if we pull them in.

I hope who ever comes into coach surprises us and can get at least 15-17 kids. Im wondering if we go JUCO heavy again

Mid-term (JUCO) signing day is mid December. If we get a coach whose team is in a bowl game then he won't be done with his responsibilities to get those guys here in time.

Good stuff.  Although it does strike me as odd that the website's logo looks like longhorns.

hatiiiiiin' 

 

j/k 

Those are obviously eagles's wings guys. I know bc I designed them myself while thinking hard about an eagle. There *is* one thing about the logo that --- to my horror -- only just noticed and it bugs me to no end. 

To no end.

Don't coaches who get hired away usually skip out on their previous team's bowl game?

Head coaches getting hired away usually do, but coordinators usually finish out. I don't have stats to back that up, but that's how I remember it usually being. Tom Herman for Ohio State and Jim Mcelwain for Alabama continued to call plays through their teams' national championship runs almost a month after accepting the jobs at Houston and Colorado State, respectively.

I would think a chance to get a NC ring would be different.  

That could prolong the availability of guys like Briles/Meacham/Cumbie if they finish the season undefeated and in the playoff.   But other guys would likely start right after the season.

      2025 DC Wish List

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.

      Well, San Jose wilted. Losing 35-21, 2:00 min remain.
