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

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
