"With McCarney out, North Texas will be looking to find someone that can turn around a program struggling to get back to where it was in 2013. Turning around a program that has accumulated a 4-13 record over the past season and a half does not sound like an easy task. However, the job may be far more lucrative than meets the eye.

North Texas has what it needs to make a pretty good sales pitch for the coach that they need if they focus around these main arguments".

Really hope we are looking for someone that can turn the program around and get us past where we were in 2013. Why can't UNT be one of the greats? The sky is the limit!

Because we are so dysfunctional, this isn't a realistic goal for us. Save yourself a lot of heartache and ignore this foolish line of thinking.

We have donors more loyal to a man than the university. Until that changes, this will continue to be small time athletics in big time venues, and the a attendance will continue to reflect as much.

I've been looking for that same coach for the last 25+ years...the reason we can't be one of the greats is fairly simple: the culture here doesn't want it to be great--many of the voices from the alumni, students, faculty, administration, and the local citizenry openly disdain the program's existence. If you can get that mindset to change even a little bit to be more pro-athletics, the sky would be the limit here. But, except for Hayden Fry's later years here in the late 70s, nobody has ever led us to a higher level.

Now HERE is just the guy guaranteed to take us higher! He is actively campaigning to take us higher and will make us a real family!
