Isnt it a bit late in the process as far as the hiring cycle goes for him to bail out?

 

Unless they get one of the guys that turned down interviews/jobs (Cumbie, Meacham, Briles) then this hurts their chance at a decent up and comer does it not?

I would think they would already have someone lined up. What about recruiting?

Knowing Fran, he resigned right now for one of two reasons: 1.) So that his hand-picked choice will get the job, since he is fairly well-respected in San Marcos still, or 2.) He is burning bridges on an AD or group of donors who are making his life tough and by leaving now, it screws them in recruiting this late.

I'd lean toward Door #1, but Door #2 won't surprise me, either...

If there wasn't a succession plan in place, and this is out of the blue, then this sucks.

He's leaving the Bobcats with a 39-43 record (a 26-34 record from 2011-15)

You know what Texas State doesn't need? Transferers. 

Which is fortunate, because they're not likely to get much JUCO help with a coach leaving at this point on the calendar.

Their recruiting is a lot better off than ours ever was this season

Doing stuff like that is a great way to make sure your career is completely over.

So . . . are we gonna try to poach any of their verbals?

http://texasstate.247sports.com/Season/2016-Football/Commits

 

Same type of recruits - mainly two-star players - that we are getting and SMU is getting.  In fact, over the past two/three seasons, our classes have been about the same as SMU and Texas State. 

The only difference among the three of us is that SMU is the only school which believes that these types of recruits are a step up from where they were with the previous coaching staff.  But, we already knew the Pony faithful (fateful?) were delusional. 

So...let the Phonies Don't Stop Believing.  The Journey song can be their new fight song as they battle us and Texas State for the ripest two-star recruits around the state, mixing in one to three three-stars. 

SMU "ponies" up more money for their two-stars, though, than we rednecks at North Texas and Texas State.  Helicopters and whatnot.  It's like taking a limousine out to pick up a prostitute off the street.  Hey...it's their money.  Let them use it to keep pretending they are better than us football-wise.

      My non UNT co worker that has no interest in football just sent me this reel. It’s a very cool story! I hope he sticks around and pushes Poffenbager. Iron sharpens iron.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      So it’s Jared right? He can make it happen. Meaning he has the power to assemble Talons, Maniacs and Green Brigade Leadership this month to plan for the creation and execution of the DATCU Energy Experience this fall. I would think our band would learn from other bands that out excite them. But they don’t. They don’t copy them, try offshoot efforts of them…I see nuances which can be cool but I’m talking about a full in game production transformation. Which needs to include: Pregame March. Pregame field sets. Stand music sets. Chant alignment at the quarters and kickoff. Big 3rd quarter close. There is power in numbers and their efforts could ignite the alumni side. We need coordinated chants like TSU’s eat em up eat em up go cats go or something like that. I also miss Fky Like An Eagle Go Green Go White… We used to have an awesome 3rd down Green Brigade set always played at the right time and only on that down. I’m not meaning to come down on the GB because this is a leadership focus. But the time is now. Season is over. All amazing performances have terrifically designed practices, rituals and coordinated forces behind them. Jared may even consider a Fan Council to help with idea generation, program research, connection support…give council members a 2 year term and they collaborate monthly with feedback to the athletic board regularly. That would be 6-7 Council meetings to spawn community, dormant alumni, and student engagement before opening day. Let’s get some things going then we can talk about that cool Rangerette type crew for the stands down the line. See TSU, Alabama, Auburn most programs in the SEC. First things first. GMG

      RECAP: No. 21 Memphis wins scrappy battle over North Texas

      Memphis shot 55% overall and 38% on 3-pointers. It also recorded 16 forced turnovers, 8 steals, 7 assists, 4 offensive rebounds and 3 blocks. The game saw six lead changes and four ties, but the Tigers still remained ahead for more than 24 minutes. Ross Hodges’ team (10-4, 1-1 AAC) shot 43% from the field and 22% from beyond the arc. It also outrebounded Memphis 30-21 while racking up 15 forced turnovers, 12 offensive rebounds, 11 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks. Brenen Lorient (18), Moulaye Sissoko (17), Jasper Floyd (11) and Rondel Walker (10) scored double-figure points for the Mean Green. Here are some takeaways from Memphis’ AAC home opener. read more: https://bluffcitymedia.co/recap-no-21-memphis-wins-scrappy-battle-over-north-texas/?amp=1
