They'll probably end up with another Coker type -- someone with a big name from the past who would overlook the low salary for one more shot in FBS. What's Tommy Bowden doing these days?

Might be a good fit for them. Local guy.

OUTSTANDING read! Mumme would probably love the opportunity to come home and finish his career and nUTSAck would be very lucky to get him. They might also become relevant in CUSA PDQ.

three names being mentioned:  Hal Mumme, Tony Levine and Craig Naivar

Those are names that have "high interest" in the coaching vacancy. I don't think that feeling is reciprocated by Hickey.

The timing sucks but I think it's better than wasting another year with a beaten down Coker. Also the salary should be pretty competitive for CUSA.

Oh wait, You're serious!

I guess if they want their program to be even worse than under Coker AND get put on probation then Mumme is a good place to start.

Toni would be a good hire. Has had success recruiting Texas. Herman can you say thank you!

Doubt that salary is for real, considering the assistants are paid so poorly that they would rather be at the likes of Eastern Michigan. Expecting $600 or so, peanuts to the assistants. Welcome to FBS. Probably the total amount.

Cute, though. You and TXST are a match made for each other. #smalltime

Are you serious? Losing seasons 11 of the past 12 years, losing record against UTSA, coming off a 1 win season. You really shouldn't be looking down on anyone. Litrell is a good hire on paper but no coaching change is a guarantee especially at UNT. Even if he were to turn the program around it's not going to happen overnight.

Ryan thinks UNT is going to a bowl next year. Just so you know...

No one with a job goes to EMU for any reason other than desperation. For the UTSA situation to be so bad to take EMU speaks volumes.

Mumme is career 139-136-1. Had to cheat at UK and still had a losing record there. His 12-11 record at SELA got him a crack at NMSU and he went 11-38 (Not exactly an upgrade from Tony Samuel), he has kicked butt in Division II and Division III (though not at Belhaven so far).

Really doubt UTSA is considering him.

His name isn't one of the candidates who is receiving serious interest.

Levine already gave UTSA their biggest win in school history.

UNT is just as small time as both of those schools.  Just because we made a promising hire doesnt mean we're better than either of them.  Outside of Texas, no one know either schools.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      So if you were AD for a day which P4 regional program could you bring in? Hard to get the big boys in Texas to play in a 30,000 seat road game. SMU and TCU will never play us again and Houston has moved on. Looks like Texas State , Sam Houston, UTEP, New Mexico St.,Ark. St., ULL, and La. Tech are regional programs that might draw more fans than flies so sign them up.

      Caponi fired

      Did he keep him because of lack of $$ to fire him last year? Or was he given another year to add players, make adjustments, etc to see if improvement? I don’t know, but guessing our budget factored into it.

      2025 DC Wish List

      Jeremiah Johnson from La Tech. My #1 choice no to high school DC, they have no clue to the portal and I don’t feel a great source of talent judgement. Carthel I don’t think would come for a coordinator role even for 200k more. He was my choice for HC after SL. if Johnson tells us no, look at the D2 level. D2 coordinators are more aggressive recruiting and better judges of talent. They are constantly trying to sell “snow to eskimos”. Bringing in particular kids from the portal with 1/2 schollys and inadequate facilities filling holes left by transfers etc. They are hustlers AND they won’t be afraid to come in with a hot seat coach, because of the confidence in their own skill . They will be more aggressive, But will adapt to the personnel they have in the cupboard. I’m also not sure we are getting any value from our recruiting gurus and support staff and we may need to revamp in that area for sure. Question our dfw high school coaches and get their recommendations for a DC We can do a little research in the D2 level and save money on a search committee lol
