This is my first post.  My name is Doug Rush and I am the head baseball coach at Tomball High School.  I grew up in Denton and played on the North Texas club baseball team in 82 and 83 and on its varsity program in 84 and 85.  We were not very good but we were not given a chance to be either.  I graduated from North Texas in 1986.  I coached at Denton High until 1992 before I left to pursue head coaching opportunities.  I love Denton and I love The Mean Green despite the terrible way they treated baseball in the 80's.

Anyway, I am a personal friend of Mike Jinks.  We coached together and ran around together when he was right out of college and we were coaching at Killeen Ellison High School.  I am telling you right now that the moment I met him I knew he was destined for greatness.  He was a great quarterback at Converse Judson and a legendary quarterback at San Angelo State.  And yes he loves to throw the football for you guys that were inquiring.  Mike will light up a room with his personality.  The kids he coaches love him.  He is a great football mind and he has all the intangible to be a GREAT head college football coach.  And Mike wants the U.N.T. football job. I believe he will be incredible at recruiting, at assembling a staff, at promoting the city of Denton, and  at promoting our university. He is a humble but confident guy and he never meets a stranger.  Other coaches would love to work for him because he would be a guy you work with and not for. 

I sure hope he gets the opportunity to at least interview because I think he has a great plan in place for when he gets his opportunity.

Thank you for this post.  It is great to hear from someone who knows Mike Jinks and believes him to be an Excelkent candidate for our HC job.  I, too, hope he gets a chance for that interview.  He is lucky to have friends like you in his corner.

Maybe if we hire Jinks he could convince Davis Webb to come with him. A guy can dream can't he?

He stares down receivers a lot though. although, he would probably do very well at the C-USA level. only would have him for one year. I guess its better than nothing.

@DougRush - So Jinks has quickly turned into a leading candidate on the message board, but he hasn't been asked to interview?  Do you know if Rick Villarreal or the president have contacted him in any way?

Thanks for the info.

Went to the Texas/Texas Tech game last night. Jinks is easily the most active coach on the Tech sidelines. He seems t o be a good motivator/encourager and Deandre Washington is a fantastic back under Jinks tutelage.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
