What makes them underwhelming?

No head coaching experience for any of them. All P5 spoiled and will be stunned at the dysfunction inside this AD and with this fan base. 

None realize the MASSIVE undertaking that awaits them.

Wrong. I have a set of parameters in mind. None of these coaches meet them.

Based on that if we would've fired Mac last year and brought Tom Herman in you would've considered him an underwhelming guy. 

 

Both Meacham and Applewhite have worked a lot of years below the P5 level.

I would have rather seen Lincoln Reilly over these 3 or 4, to tell you the truth. At least he had a good couple of years at ECU before going to a P5.

Chris Tomasen is a much better candidate for what we need than any of these 3. 

What makes you think Hermann would have been successful at UNT?

They will help with recruiting and offensive strategy immediately. . And with right defensive hiring they will be fine. Quit being so damn negative.

You know, as much as I hate to admit being on the same wave length with UNT90, he is absolutely right. Any of these candidates who have spent all their tenure at the P5 level will come here and (like Coach Mac), look around in a couple of years and say "what the hell is wrong with these people!?!?." 

The first coach to say something similar to this was Bob Tyler. 

Thomsen and Fritz. Both were successful under adverse conditions. Therefore perfect for our program.

well arent interested and aren't coming so lick  your wounds and move on. Any of the three I would take over Mac and dodge. Now chambers on the other hand is definitely the most underwhelming name to date

No, it's a bad hire because none of them have ever been involved with a program with the challenges that will face them at UNT. 

Read my precious post. It's not hard. Anyone who HAS BEEN A HEAD COACH IN A CHALLENGING SITUATION AT A G5 LEVEL OR BELOW AND HAS WON!!

Maybe that's big enough for you?

Any of the 3 won't get us back to a bowl and will be fired year 4.

Thats worse than Mac.

yes i have asked you for candidates that fit that bill.. and all you could say was fritz.. Guess briles was an underwhelming hire at houston. Patterson an underwhelming hire at tcu. Fuentes  was an underwhelming hire at memphis and numerous other examples. A high school kids will be more excited about playing for the former  OC of TCU than a guy who had success at Angelo State back in the early 2000's...

I also gave you Tomason, even though you choose to ignore that in your attempt to paint me as a one candidate person, which I'm not.

But Fritz is BY FAR the best option for our situation.

Like who? It's not a lateral move for Tomason. 

Nor would it be for a successful FCS head coach.

No thanks. I expect more for my support than give up hires by a crappy AD

      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?
