He just sent in his resume. His dad is his boss. He doesn't have to worry about facing repercussions for looking around. It's not like he sent in the application this past week, either.

People are reading way too much into the resume submittal.

Bc he applied way back at the beginning before bigger schools came sniffing around. He hasn't been interested for a long time. Certainly not interested in working for RV. 

P5s aren't interested in a 33 year old with 9 games experience as an OC. 

He is just saying what he has to say. This may be his attempt to get a raise at Baylor or practice going through the interview process, but to say bigger schools want him is a bit ridiculous. Maybe in a year or two.

Agreed. Hell, we'd be taking a significant risk with a hire like this. He may turn out to be a great head coach, but I can't see a major conference team giving him a shot without a more significant body of work as an OC.

I think that is a good example of the risks of youth. Most of the other coaches on Vitos list probably saw sending in their resumes as the best way to bring their name into the conversation since that was not particularly likely to happen by itself. Briles doing it might have had to do with him not expecting for that to get FOIA'd (and I doubt he got good advice on that one). It is an experience I am sure he'll learn from....but I think it is better if he does it on Baylors dime than UNTs.

Baylor offensive coordinator Kendal Briles has told John Werner of the Waco Tribune-Herald that "publicly", he is not interested in UNT job.

Fixed!

Well, it's a full season different. And I believe I said P5s won't be interested for a year or 2. 

And to whom exactly are you referring?

Baylor just beat previously unbeaten OkSt using a second and then third string QB. Who do you think will get most of the credit for that? I believe that would be the OC. Which raises young Coach Briles' stock considerably with the big schools. Looks like he just moved way out of our price range.

I think we still have a shot at Lincoln Riley but definitely not Briles. His dad is going to make his path for him starting with at least 2 more years basking in that glorious offensive system.

And still isn't a head coach. He's most likely referring to Kingsbury, who was an extremely special circumstance hire

Either way, UNT gets screwed by quarterback play!

And none would... but we should.  UNT needs to become a springboard job for the top coaches of the future.

Other than his last name, why is everyone up in arms for this guy to come here? He's proven nothing. He has very little experience as the head of anything. Call me crazy, but if we're going to go the young OC route, I'd rather have someone who didn't piggy back off their father's success.

      We’d Love To Have You

      You’d be surprised how many people go to every football game but rarely make it to the basketball games. There is a large and loud contingent of fans that want a defensive minded coach. Well.. there’s one right across I35 and I’d bet he would love to have another 250-500 fans a game.

      Offensive Woes

      Yup, it's what army and Tulane did to us too. Defenses have our number and we have to pivot to something else.

      Offensive Woes

      You could have posted #3 and still identified 90% of the issues. The Texas Tech “throw it sideways and hope to get forward” garbage is consistently putting us behind the sticks. It was sooooo clear last night that nUTSAck’s corners knew they could blow plays up by getting around the WR that was trying to block them on the perimeter (and our blocking was also a bit suspect in that regard)

      Caponi fired

      No. You never promote somebody that has two or three successful games as an interim when you need somebody that proves he can do it for a long duration. Retain the best position coaches, let the new DC select replacements for the others... and then get them all recruiting the players that they need for their system. There should be no viable excuses for next season's defense.

      Good. Accountability. MAYBE EM is feeling some heat.
