He's the one coach here in a revenue sport that left here as a winner since Fry left, IIRC.

 

I think Bill Blakely was the most recent before J.J.

Blakeley was terminated.

Okay?  He left with an overall winning record, which is what I assume untjim1995 was talking about.

My point was that he wasn't hired away after the winning he enjoyed here in the 70s. Except for Fry and Johnny Jones, nobody has both won here and been hired away in any revenue sport. Obviously, the biggest reason for that is nobody else had a winning record in any of those sports here since the late 70's, except JJ. Think about that for a second...if it weren't for Johnny Jones, we are looking at no coach in three different sports to not have a winning record in 35+ seasons.

If you all think that is "caring about winning in revenue sports", you have a very distinctly different viewpoint from the other 98% of the UNT Family.

Okay, gotcha.  I misunderstood what you were saying.  Then let it be added that it has also been a long time since any coach in the revenue sports finished with a winning record.

By "you all" do you mean me?  Because, no, I don't really think that.
