Coach Ford is a good man who was just not prepared to be a defensive coach at the college level when he came to North Texas.   I wish him nothing but the best for his future.

And he moved the ball quite a bit.  But was lost when the field shrank in the red zone & couldn't get the ball in.

Good luck at Lovejoy.  If he liked it at Southlake Carroll, he's going to love Lovejoy.  $$$$$

And?

Lovejoy has a solid history of Texas high school playoff appearances.  IMHO, it would be a good school to have a pipeline to.  Hopefully Todd Ford and his brief history with UNT was a positive one for him and he'll keep UNT in mind when providing guidance to his players.

Then again, maybe he peed on the side of Fouts and flipped the albino squirrel the bird on his way out of town when he was replaced by Chico.   I dunno.

Lovejoy has only been around since the late 2000's.  They are in the playoffs alot since starting, but I don't know that I would say they have a "solid history".

So does playoff history in the 1900's really mean much to recruiting today?  I think you're missing the point. 

Before Lovejoy High School opened, the Lovejoy ISD kids went to Allen High School when they reached high school.   I guess we could refer to Allen's history if you want to go back further.

      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.

      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.
