Coach Mac Status

We need to clean house, people. Chico needs to go, just like the rest of the staff. We need fresh blood at the athletic department. Its why so many of us believe with all of heart that if RV is still the AD at the end of the season, we gotta go elsewhere. It will be the final nail in the coffin that the university's leadership and big money donors aren't serious about winning in the revenue sports, just fielding a team so that they can tell everyone its offered here at UNT and having tailgating is all that matters here.

This is probably the most clear choice the university will make in telling everyone how they feel about winning at revenue sports. The AD you have, for 15 years, has overseen a football program that has won 64 games under his leadership--while losing 113 so far, probably adding another 6 to it by the end of the year. In that time, we have had 4 coaches who have either been hired or extended by RV. We have two different stadiums to work in. We have had two different conferences to recruit to and to schedule better known teams here.

It really doesn't matter if you blame the 98% of the UNT Family for never getting engaged or just leaving or if you blame the university for giving the public a crap product for so long...the reality is that fans that could be had or you did have are gone, most likely forever, following the plethora of other options in college and pro teams that you can choose from around here. For the BOR, administration, and the UNT 17 to look at this situation and defiantly tell you that the AD here at this place for the last 15 years is not even close to the problem, but he is absolutely the solution really does clearly tell you where the priorities are with winning here. If you believe that keeping an AD who has increased the growth of the MGC by less than 2% in the same time the university has graduated 78k people, then you get what you deserve.

My point is it's not any more difficult for a coach to recruit here with a one year contract than it would be with a multi year contract.
Are there going to be challenges? Sure. But not any worse than it already is.
Look at it this way. If they are going to allow RV to hire the next guy..committee or no committee, then they might as well hire Canales full time for one interim year or more and save some cash. He can't be any worse than the splash hire RV and company are bound to roll out there.

This.

We need a new AD and make this whole debate moot.
