....threw the ball 16 times or fewer, 8 of them threw it 20 times or fewer, and of those 8 teams all but one utilized a dominant,..option and/or triple option ground game to win their championship.  M

My mind's telling me no, but my heart is telling me this is the man I could settle down and watch the Aledo spring game with?

Just a humble fireman, eagerly soaking in on all the hot teen action he can kram into his peepers over one single weekend. Thanks for the shout out and hope you liked it!

No,...my point with that is I could care less about their ratings in high school.  They are there for folks like you to enjoy and are not bullet proof in how they will turn out to be in college..  Murray was all world according to everyone but the coach who signed him.  Now he's gone after proving to not have lived up to his hype.

Again, if you wanted to win a state championship this year run a power option game and chunk the shuck and duck.....(I keep trying to keep this thread on subject).

If your going to captain obvious me like your first sentence above then spare me the effort.

Seriously? Ok, let me know how many actual football programs you have been apart of in your lifetime.  Not as a fan, but actually a part of.  Go ahead I'll wait.  Anytime you would like to get on a whiteboard I would love to school you.

Murray is gone because he wanted out.

I never mentioned ratings once. Just offers. How a player turns out in college does not mean that they weren't elite athletically on the high school level. Signees don't pan out well at P5 college for many reasons, including off the field issues.  But if they're getting P5 offers then they are elite high school athletes regardless of how their college career turns out. And that's what I've said the whole time. Elite high school athletes, not elite college players.

Oh yeah..."offers",.., not "ratings".  Your all about "offers".  That's the be all end all.  My bad.

As for the bolden part...in regards to my use of the term "Elite" players...you said...

...That is not true. They had good high school players, but not elite athletes. Other than Westlake's QB Ehlinger, neither team had legitimate P5-caliber playmakers. And he was elite as a passer, not as much as a runner...

 

I wasn't defining them by "offers".  You were.  Westlake and Lake Travis had elite players.  If they didn't they wouldn't have been in the final game.

1, and I've never coached professionally. But  I still watched 7 of 10 teams run their way to a state title last week.

As to your offer above in bold,..I think we have a guy here named Quoner that may be more to your liking.  I'm not that way.

So you watch, so you know?  7 teams primarily run the football so football is changing? Every coach wants a balanced attack. Lake Travis and Westlake throw the Rock and made it to the title game...I guess they suck

Oh...it's a......who ya gonna believe...me or your lying eyes kind of thing?  Ok.

And I never claimed football was changing.  Just an observation and a question on whether we're starting to see the trend to start swinging back the other way...as it has since Glen and his Indians at the Carlisle School were doing their thing up north.  

Last week one team only threw 5 times, another only 6.  Another threw 12 times while 4 others threw 16 times or fewer.  It could be an anomaly, or it could be a trend.  You probably know the answer to that question better than me.  But it's interesting to discuss just the same.

The wing t, slot t, flex bone etc are just formations. Spread teams still run the same plays it just looks different. Everyone wants to be able to run the football. It's nothing new. Please don't make me school you with your fan football knowledge. 

You are wasting your time trying to explain how a throw to a back or WR behind the line of scrimmage is no different than a pitch.

But hey, one is a pass happy offense while the other is smash mouth.

      Caponi fired

      They were waiting for Caponi to come available.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      We have only had 4 coaches [I missed Jack Sisco] since 1913 out of a total of 18 who exited North Texas with winning records, Hayden Fry being the last in 1978. Goals and objectives must be realistic and obtainable with a little pie in the sky. Quite honestly I have no idea what we our standard should be, only what it has become . However, expect more are you will get less ,which seems to be the norm for our football program.

      Caponi fired

      I’ll say this as well - There are people in my group of 20+ season ticket holders that have held them since 2003 questioning if they’ll renew next year because it’s not fun anymore. It feels hopeless after 20+ years. They’re just saying, I’ll keep supporting basketball because at least we have a real program and coaching staff that we can all believe in through wins and losses. No one believes in the football coaching staff - except Patrick Cobbs - who we might as well elevate to HC. He’s the only one that actually produces and legitimately gives a shit about UNT. This program’s situation is dire whether the AD realizes it or not.

      Caponi fired

      I certainly am not making excuses for the termination of Caponi and agree that it was overdue. However I am surprised that our AD and not HC was the one who reportedly pulled the trigger. I owned a medical device sales agency for 30 years and can testify that no one like firing an employee. In fact those who do , unless its a really egregious act, usually wait longer than the should because the real mistake was made by you in hiring them in the first place. Having said that I have never terminated an employ that didn't expect it and in most cases were relieved that the ax finally dropped.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      It is obvious that no one is stopping you from voicing your displeasure with the program. I also wonder where you get anyone is happy with the season. As for as the resources, there is no way that you know that to be true, unless you know their NIL numbers and their real budget. Hint, what is reported can be made to look about anyway you want by manipulating the numbers. I am truly regretful that NT is likely not going to be invited to the Rose Bowl and will be relegated to a subpar bowl and opponent.
