Very interesting, I wish he was coming at the start of summer to get into some classes in and get familiar with campus life at UNT.  Maybe this means that we will have an up tempo run heavy version of the spread in 2016.  When you can run from the spread effectively at a high tempo it is really devastating to a defense.  Hell ever Nick Saban can't really handle it because it doesn't give him time to make adjustments to his defense.

I expected to we some tempo change on Sat but I guess they want to get the basics in.  Also having a new center probably played a part.

Someone with x and o please address the following concern. High tempo can devestate an opposing defense IF you move the chains. If not, quick 3 and outs devestate your d, no?

As to the 2nd part of your question, see UNT offense circa 2015.

that goes without saying you hsve to string some plays together which requires you get some first downs.

I know I'm viewed suspiciously on the board, but I've read on other posts it took 3 years to impliment this system at another school and 10 to 20 players (new to program ) are arriving this fall. This sounds like this season is going to try the souls of all on this board.

I guess when stated that way, that is true of any offense.

Not really, it is the tempo and running the ball effectively with tempo that is the key.  If can recall Oregon in the playing FSU the year FSU won the national title with Winston.  Whenever Oregon got 2 first downs the defense got overwhelmed and Oregon march all the way down the field using tempo to keep them off balance.  The tempo makes frustration a weapon of the offense faster than just the old school Darrel Dickey ground and pound.    So instead of your running back looking unstoppable in late third quarter they start breaking big runs in the second quarter.  The defensive players are so focused on just getting lined up right they can even begin to think about what kind of blocking scheme you are using in the run game and what technique they use to counteract what the offensive lineman across from them is using on them.   It's a basketball fast break on turf.

Given his size and return ability, I'd guess he was more of a replacement for Ivery--should we lose him to grades?

with the rest of this semester and two summer sessions, online courses etc I would hope this is not yet a foregone conclusion.

I wonder what Jeffrey Wilson thinks of this.

He's a complement to Wilson's style of play

Besides, if our snap count is increasing (and not because we're playing catch up in the last quarter) I would like at least 3 solid RBs out there.

      2025 DC Wish List

      For all the decisions after that weather aided win over UTSA, a 2025 season without 9 regular seasons or a bowl game being the 9th win should get everyone but Patrick Cob fired. Like others have pointed out, being a DC under a coach on the hot seat is not likely to be a stable position attractive to DCs that are covetted. So either you bring in a DC with an extended contract as the HC in waiting or you just roll the dice with a less experienced DC. I don't this can happen, but I would like Zach Orr. I want to see a 2026 or 2027 with Patrick Cobb and Zach Orr at the helm. Either one as Head Coach and the other as Assistant HC and coordinator for their side of the ball. Eric Morris just isn't ready to be a head coach at this level. If we were still in CUSA or contending with programs like Southern Miss, La Tech, UTEP, Rice, ULM, South Alabama and Texas State it might be a different story. In AAC and above coaching, talent elevation is just too good to achieve anything significant with one side of the ball that has NOTHING it does well consistently. Hell if they could just tackle people aren't walking out early 3rd quarter.

      2025 DC Wish List

      So what’s Jared’s football background? Besides interviewing, how would he know the best candidate to hire? EM definitely needs some input since you don’t want to have division on the team when the HC isn’t on board with the DC hire. Then again, EM had his chance. At this stage in his career, he still needs guidance.

      Chandler Morris & DT Sheffield: NIL Card Show Appearance - Come show support!

      @BigWillie I got there later during the signing period, so I only saw a few obvious Mean Green fans. That included one fan who repeatedly assured me we would finish 7-5. However, I chatted with some folks and it sounded like there was a really good turnout. Apparently there was a long line of fans right at 2:00 for signatures. There was a large table area for mini helmets, and there weren't many North Texas helmets left when I bought one. That was encouraging too.

      2025 DC Wish List

      I tend to hope so. Eric seems to have eroded the trust he originally had in terms of his decision making skills.
