As a UNT alum, I would like to personally thank you for leading us to our first victory against UTKFC tonight.  This has been a tough season, but you came in and did a very good job turning this program around the last couple of weeks.  Thank you for understanding this is an important game for the program.  Thank you for your hard work on behalf of the program and Go Mean Green!

His post game interview was one of the best I've ever heard.  First class all the way.  In the face of imminent termination from this program, he is standing tall.  Thank you Coach Chico.

Agreed!  Not to knee jerk and not to get off topic, but he may have been the best option at head coach after Dodge.

I can't disagree, but Carlos Harris might. Somebody needs to put a leash on that guy.

Also, thanks to Chico and the players for not letting this season be the first winless season in UNT history.

The players deserve some of the credit too for bailing him out of his coaching blunders. That's the way teams and teammates are supposed to respond.

Good God.

No.

I know, the way he finished the season with Dodge's mess and the way he has turned things around this year...what was I thinking?

Not saying he should be hired now, but 5 years ago, the time may have been right.

Try to have a little higher standards.

Some of you people really are masochists. Or maybe abused spouses is a better analogy. You think because you have been starved for years, the first person that throws you a crumb is Jesus Christ in person. 

Chico won't be head coach here next year and won't be an OC in FBS football. 

Expect just a tad more...

How can you say for certain that he is wrong? Are you sure we'd have been worse off today with Chico heading things over the last 5 years as opposed to Mac? He didn't say hire Chico now, he said that he may have been better 5 years ago.

Agree.  Chico shares some of the responsibility for the situation that we are in.  I just can't get real excited about beating 1-6 UTKFC team.  I certainly appreciate what he is doing, but I agree he won't be a OC in FBS next year.

We would most certainly be better off . He would have been able to attract far superior athletes thus winning more. I still think we need a house cleaning though.

You read a lot into "He MAY HAVE BEEN the best option at head coach AFTER Dodge."

What's funny is someone I tailgate with told me "just watch, people are going to start calling for Chico to be head coach again."

This is either the dumbest college football fan base in America or the most abused.

Or both.

Who has called for Chico to be head coach?  I missed that thread.  All I see are people showing appreciation for an improved team the last three games and the avoidance of a certain 0-12 season if the other guy was still head coach.  I'll state one more time: He may have been the best option at head coach after Dodge.  It would be ridiculous to hire him now, but I don't know that it would have been five years ago and neither do you.

Yes I do/did, and said so at the time. Sadly, Chico campaigned the dysfunctional fans and almost pulled it off.

If I'm overreacting, it's because of last time, 

And several have already said he should be a candidate in another thread. 

Madness.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
