Great Ambassador for the Mean Green

Cr1028 · June 2, 2016

My favorite Mean Green player of all-time at it again. Always supporting the green.

southsideguy · June 2, 2016

i have to agree one of my all time favorites.

cdizzle86 · June 2, 2016

Definitely an all time favorite. And he's from Mesquite (my home town) so that makes it even sweeter.

We need to quit beating around the bush with this guy and somebody needs to pull some strings and get him a job in the new AD. He could do just about anything the AD needed.

*Also, a little off subject, but season tickets worth X amount need to be hand delivered by someone on the coaching staff, preferably Seth Littrell or Harrell. Granted in the DFW area. That is a way to get a little spike in MGC membership and season ticket sales.

Bingo! Have Marcus make the deliveries. You just created a job! GMG

Marcus would excel in that position easily!

Sounds like an hourly, minimum wage job. Better come up with something better, because he deserves better.

MEANGREENCOACH2 · June 2, 2016

Oh that is simply a summer thing for him to do in order to drive up MGC memberships. I would have him in control of member relationships along with High school relationships. Notice how the summer time he will be dealing more with MGClub members and season time he deals with High schools which can help with recruiting

This would work. I think he could do a good job at this.

MEANGREENCOACH2 · June 2, 2016

I would start him out at 50k base salary with incentives.

The incentives would be completely dependent on MGClub memberships. Any time somebody that he goes and visits recruits or refers another MGClub future member some type of bonus pay structure would take place. Those bonuses would also differ depending on the level that the future member donates at. (I hope this makes sense) Basically he has 2 seasonal jobs.

It makes sense. He has seasonal jobs that are very similar in nature with a decent base pay with room to add significant contributions to based on performance. These are the kinds of things that have needed to have been going on within the AD for years.

Marcus needs to work for the university in some capacity. He is dedicated to UNT and his dedication would be an asset to UNT instead of the guys with foreign degrees. By foreign I mean other universities not just Russia State.

MEANGREENCOACH2 · June 2, 2016

When the openings are announced in the AD department i will be tossing my hat in the ring. These are the type of ideas i would like to bring to the table!

Maybe RV will not collect a buy out, since he loves UNT so much, and free up money for positions for outstanding former student athletes that would surely make UNT better?

That guy is greatness! Although you'd punch him within seconds if you ever met him. To steal someone else's quote on the board, he has a very punchable face.

North Texas Shep · June 3, 2016

Trice is the damn man! All for him getting a job at UNT. Not sure about these random made up hypothetical jobs you guys are throwing out, but whatever. Hire him!

No, that's what happens when someone really resigns...

Very, very true. We'll soon see how voluntary this move really was.

It wasn't. At all. You don't get paid to go away unless you are getting paid to go away.

People who "retire" simply leave the remainder of the contract with the employer.

I understand that. I haven't heard buyout numbers on RV yet. If it doesn't halpen then he actually agreed to resignation. If a buyout comes out of the backend of this then he was being his usual lying self when he was interviewed on the matter after the news broke.

It was announced that UNT is buying out the last 2 years. How much of those 2 years is the only question. See the 3rd paragraph below:

Oh, well this was 100% firing and it needs to be stated he is being fired by anyone and everyone that brings this up. This was not mutual. This was Prez telling him to kick rocks.

Hopefully, being allowed to say he "resigned" saved UNT some cash. That should have been negotiated. Hopefully, they didn't just let him do that because "he is such a good guy." This is a business.

Hopefully @Brett Vito is on the FOI request to get info. Wouldn't be surprised if UNT stonewalls him.
