Still scarred from the Dodge years, I see...  

I'm sure Ron Mendoza 's available for cheap. Or we could get someone better like a traffic cone, a peanut butter sandwich, or maybe a cadaver.

If it's a young P5 coordinator, expect to be going through this again in another 4 years... Just sayin...

Sounds like some of the people who were not interested might actually be interested.  Who could have imagined double talk from college coaches?

Willie Fritz isn't coming here. Take your bottle and blankie elsewhere.

You can throw the young out of it. I don't want a P5 coordinator who doesn't understand the hardships, perception problems, and culture difficulties (both inside the AD with RV still in control and with our fan base) he is going to face leading this program.

Do you think a P5 coordinator is going to be ready to deal with the MASSIVE dysfunction that is prevalent throughout this program?

I'd much rather see a Thomason, Fritz, or even a FCS head coach that had built his program from the ground up than a P5 coordinator that is going to be absolutely shocked at the lack of standards that he finds inside this AD. 

Those other kind of guys are used to finding and fixing these types of problems. A P5 coordinator isn't.

Not to mention this is the typical reactionary hire I would expect from RV. It will be an OC who runs the spread. Bank it.

And it will fail massively.

I really really hope it is one of the coordinators who've been discussed who have college level head coaching experience in the past, even if it is FCS or DII.  I think this is crucial.

I suspect you won't be happy with any coach that is hired because RV is still the Athletic Director.

Looks like Dave Barnett's son Zach who works for Footballscoop is tied into the UNT final 4.  Should be interesting.  We probably will never find out who 3 of the 4 are.

Briles, Lincoln Riley, Jay Norvell, or Mike Norvell.

None are finalists per footballscoop

 Mark Mangino it is then. Call Golden Corral in Denton, they're gonna need the lead time to prepare for that tank rolling into town.

Interesting. So what P5 OCs do we have left that might make sense:

Meacham

Cumbie

Morris

Yurcich

Spavital

If you are asking if any football coach RV hires is doomed to failure, the answer is yes.

And history backs it up.

Point being RV won't make the right hire.

So based on the clues provided, it sounds like an OC (Offensive Coordinator) which would mean it would be at a p5 program...it's not Riley, the Norvell's or Briles. Probably rules out Withers...

Could we narrow it down to Texas or close by Schools?

Texas Tech - Eric Morris

Texas A&M - Spavital

Oklahoma State: Mark Yursich

Houston - Major Applewhite

Meacham and Cumbie TCU

Others? 

 

On Meacham and Cumbie -- it would seem that Meacham would be the most logical.  He's 50 and probably needs to grab a head coaching job pretty soon... Cumbie could wait for the right one.  I'd be good with either.

Could Assistant/Associate head coaches be included? This would include Chris Thomsen and Mike Jinks

What if, in a strange and unexpected turn of events, RV steps on the podium Monday, and states: "After careful consideration, I have decided to follow in the footsteps of Hayden Fry and coach the University of North Texas' football team while simultaneously performing my duties as Athletic Director"

How much of a kick in the nuts would that be?

Thomsen is an oline coach, Jinks is a running backs coach.  The hints seem to indicate a power 5 OC.  So I think that would eliminate them.  Just a guess.

      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?
