I don't care how much money fans spend to make Hank AD as long as they fail.

Hiring someone from inside UNT to run athletics is like expecting Steak-umm to taste like a Ruth's Chris ribeye. No one who spent an entire career under RV has any idea what makes a winning program. They've never experienced one.

It is Hank putting these out or are people throwing their support behind him? Either way, I don't see how it's any different than flying a banner calling for someone to be fired.

Of course you wouldn't. I'm sure Hank and 3 wins for the next 3 seasons is all you require.

A man who would sit behind RV for fifteen years and go-along-to-get-along doesn't have the drive to get the job done that needs doing. I nominate this guy for the job:

You don't get this many people making this decision to stay internal.  That would be a major fail.

I think you have forgotten what our AD has accomplished the last 15 years.

Only at North Texas would this scenario even be a consideration.

Makes me sad and I am not buying football tickets until I know who we hire as AD, and then I will decide if I still want to purchase.

Pretty sure they support all options for repairing the cracks in this athletic department. 

Man... now you're just piling on.  The guy's more than a slab of meat!

Well, George Dunham is certainly busy trying to take care of a friend at the expense of his alma mater, so I don't blame you for waiting.

They aren't going anywhere.

Where else would anyone in the fan base consider hiring from within the worst AD in America? The fact that any alum, much less one with pretty big influence, would propose this insane idea shows you just how dysfunctional this place has become/remained. 

No wonder so many walk away.

I listen to the musers every morning, but I do not agree with George. We need a change in the athletic department. Nepotism is not going to move the athletic department forward. We need a fresh set of eyes that will think outside of the box, and create solutions for these reoccuring problems. Out with the old, and in with the new.

I have no reason to believe that George is picking friendship over his university.   He probably believes that Hank is the best person for the job.   As far as Dickenson, I find it hard to criticize  him both for not being more aggressive during the RV reign, and now aggressively going for the AD job.  However,  I think a top number 2 guy should have been able to persuade a weak AD to make necessary changes in the department.     

I don't support Dickenson for the AD position, and it has a lot less to do with him individually than it is just way past time for complete change at the top.     Yes, it is possible that Hank could be that change-maker, but perception counts.   I think it is imperative that NT fully demonstrates it is ready for compete change in athletics.

This isn't complicated. You have to ask the question, "Would any of the athletics departments at the other 128 schools with a FBS football program hire Hank as Athletic Director?". If the answer is no, that should be the end of the discussion.

Driving past Apogee today I noticed that the hatch on top of the electronic sign is fixed. 

Hank has been interim AD for less than two weeks and the hatch got fixed.

Does he deserve a shot?



Question no info.

Well, Hank getting that hatch closed proves he can lead us to a top 25 ranking and a sweet 16 birth.

Just ask George Dunham...

And, I like Jub.  I'd go for a Hank and Jub, Co-ADship.  With Craig Miller as Assistant Co-AD, Oklahoma City/San Antonio Campus.

Craig Miller could probably relate to more UNT Alumni than Hank or Jub ever could...there are far more alums who have adopted a P5 giant as "their" team even though their degree is from UNT. Maybe Craig Miller could tap into that crowd...

Jub:

1. Did not want to fire DD

2. Pushed for the Dodge hire

3. Openly advocating for Hank

 

0-2 so far for Jub, on par with RV. Maybe Jub should go out with the old regime....

The UNT90 train has jumped the RV tracks and is full steam ahead on the Dunham attack tracks.  

I pity the fool.

Meh. Just trying to do my part to combat the substantially large influence of an alum with the #1 rated morning show on local radio. 

Who decided to use every single ounce of that influence to try to get a friend a job despite knowing it wasn't best for UNT. Despicable. Lost a lot of respect for him as a person and an alumni. I'm sure he cares. Lol. 

But, hey, I'm just a stupid poster on a fan web site. How could I possibly influence anything? 

Hire a youngish, aggressive AD who has been an AD at a lower level and turned around a program at that level.

Stop doing the same dysfunctional thing, UNT.

"Prediction?"

"PAIN"

I love that movie. 

 

As much as I hate to admit it, I think UNT90 is right in this case.

Via Frenchy and via at least one mobile billboard in Denton. 

Unbelievable.

I guess I don't quite understand this post.  I would expect that Hank would be politicking and doing whatever needed to get the job.  He loves this town and this community, is a great guy and wants a job.... I think we all go for jobs we want?

Legit question.... you think George is openly campaigning for what he thinks isn't the best for UNT? Look, I don't want them to hire Hank either.... I'm also open to believe George is a good high profile alum who cares overwhelmingly about NT and legitimately thinks Hank is the right choice. Sure, they're friends and that sways it... but I don't think George wants anything more than UNT to be successful.... even when i disagree with him, which I do here.

      KState MBB and Jerome Tang: What is going on?

      Is something brewing at Kansas State? Wasn't Tang the next big, up-and-coming coach? Achor Achor, who transferred from Samford to Kansas State, has been dismissed from the men's basketball team after playing in just seven games. His performance this season saw him averaging 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds, a significant drop from his time at Samford. This marks the second consecutive year that Kansas State has dismissed a player mid-season, raising questions about team cohesion and management under coach Jerome Tang. While some sources suggest the dismissal was due to conduct detrimental to the team, the exact reasons remain officially undisclosed. This development adds to the ongoing narrative of challenges within the Wildcats' program. source

      Bye Bye....Topic?

      I not sure about sisters, but they are both cut from the same cloth. @Censored by Laurie supports a young man that decided to take the law into his own hands by murdering a healthcare CEO in cold blood thus throwing his support behind murder as an option for dealing with those he disagrees with Funny how we know more about this assassin in 48 hours than we know about the kid that tried to assassinate a nominee for president five months ago. Let that sink in and question why the media only does their job half the time He and @Coffee and TV will throw out smart ass quips at those they disagree with. It’s how they operate. Speaking of “bye bye topic”, this one will be locked and gone shortly.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Yep. The system can’t have it both ways. Either pay the kids a salary and let them pay for their schooling or stick with the scholarship system. Having hardworking students pay an “athletics fee” to support these programs while these athletes are getting a salary on top of all the benefits of their scholarship is system set up to fail.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?
