I can't explain why, but I've never liked Mac Brown. And after reaching, pretty much, the pinnacle of Coaching, I don't think he could possible connect or in any way relate to our student/alumni base.

I know this is just a far-fetched hypothetical discussion, but It would be stark raving mad for UNT not to hire Mack Brown if he wanted the job at our salary. Every Texas alumnus and Texas fan in this

Where on earth are you guys getting the idea that Mack Brown would be a good AD?!

Mac Brown.  Yet another coach at North Texas that can't recruit a quarterback.

Yes, because him sending three QB's to the NFL wasn't good enough?

No, but missing on 3 Heisman winning quarterbacks was bad enough...

Not sure who the other one was, but if Manziel or Griffin played at UT, they would not have won the Heisman.  They would have been way more productive than Ash and whoever else Mack was trotting out there, but Griffin was thanks to Briles' Offense.  Same with Manziel & Sumlin's Offense.  2 matches made in heaven.

Winston is from a Birmingham, Alabama suburb. After his commitment and enrollment to FSU he stated that he would have and wanted to go to UT, but he never heard from them. I wouldn't trust Winston with a potato gun, much less his word. But going by his "word", then yes, Brown missed on 3 really good QB's.

Every Texas alumnus and Texas fan in this state would be interested in seeing what he did here. It would give UNT a giant footprint in Texas football for a few years. The national media would cover our program with an interest it has never had before. Casual college football fans with no UNT ties might drive up to see his Mean Green play.

In a way it would be like Steve Spurrier taking over South Carolina when everyone in Florida thought he was done with coaching.

The potential upside would be huge.

I feel like the media attention alone would only help the university as a whole. Imagine how many people in Texas would be hearing about North Texas for the first time. The initial recruiting class could be a huge turnaround. I'm sure Brown could bring in quality assistants that could eventually replace him following a retirement. 

However, this could all bbackfire. Then disregard everything I mentioned.

Cerebus' Keys to Happiness:

  1. Forget about Mack Brown.
  2. Learn to love the triple option.

I am honestly all for the triple option. It's an easy system to implement, but you have to have the balls to do it and stick with it. It's hard to defend and we will never be dominant, but because it is hard to defend we will always win more than we lose and that is success. But maybe even most importantly, it's easy to recruit these type of players and we never have to worry about our season hinging on the success of a QB throwing the football again, ever. I am sure we can lure a Ga Tech or Navy coordinator in a heartbeat.

If you are judging the quality of coach based upon who had a qb that has a heisman winner, you have a very short list of coaches you approve of. And, you will be very disappointed in our next coach.

I would be Happy with the Slot T, if you bring in the right guy to run the program any offensive scheme would be more successful than everything that has taken the field at Apogee.

Jordan Case as AD? Are you kidding?! Nothing against him but this board bashes RV because he owned a few pizza chains, yet you think bringing in a guy who runs a car dealership will do better.

I'm putting this board on 5150 psychiatric hold.

And then everyone is going to start the negative recruting. "Why would you go to NT when your coach may not even be there when you graduate?" Its what happeded to Spurrier. Its why Texas St and UTSA are thinking about moving on from their coaches. 

what credible source gave that re: utsa?

No he's not. We can't afford him. And if we could, I'd be interested...maybe.  As AD? Where do I sign? Can't afford that either. It's just not realistic, he can get a P5 job and has an easy good paying job that he's not bad at.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Hodge, and really McCasland before him, seem to have a lot of reluctance to playing underclassmen. the trio of Rubin, Abou and Scott all starting as sophomores is the last real example of kids getting a shot. I'd be surprised if Vice (or Cotton, or Mason) gets much run v. McNeese...they'll likely play v. TWU and get some run in that December home-stand, but unless one of them real distinguishes themselves I think the rotation is pretty well set.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      5 conference games today, the most interesting being FAU having to come right back after a 2OT loss to play 3-0 Liberty. Minnesota hosts Yale, who already gave 13 ranked Purdue a hell of a game...so their board might be in full meltdown later this evening.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      11/16...not a good night for the league...3 tough loses all by 3 points - UAB loses to High Point (UNT opponent on 12/6...they're now 4-0) 68-65. Butter Johnson showed up 21 off the bench...looks like he'd been struggling and responded with a reserve role...Lendeborg had 17-15, but UAB didn't have anyone else in double-figures. - FAU lost on a 3-pt buzzer beater to Charleston 119-116 in double OT. looks like not a lick of defense was played in this game...would've been fun to watch...both teams shot north of 50% from the floor and from three...FAU put six dudes in double figures lead by Louisville transfer Kaleb Green, but got done in by the leading scorer in the country Ante Brzovic who had 39 including the winner - Temple lost to Boston College 72-69. Temple were down as many as 14 in the first half, took a second half lead, but couldn't hang on. Jamal Mashburn Jr. looks to be a problem, but Temple doesn't seem to have much beyond him. - Memphis and USF won games they should have...Tulane lost to a 4-0 Furman.
