UNT didn't want to spend the money to fire Benford. 

Will they spend the needed money to hire an outsider to come in and clean up the steaming pile of manure left by the last AD? 

Or will they yet again take the cheap route and hire part of the problem? 

There are several long term fans whose loyalty hang in the balance of this decision.

I've been wondering about the Benford situation. RV said the preside wanted to let him coach out his contract. Then, a couple of  months later RV is gone. Maybe Smatresk did that to allow the new AD to pick his own guy for that job...

That's the hope. Are you comfortable with anyone from the current AD making that selection?

I'll say this, I'm in the 'trust' camp when it come to to the Pres for now. I didn't think he was going to get RV out of here and he managed it. 

I think new blood is needed, but if he picks a current AD member I'll give it a chance before getting pissed (again). If the new AD keeps Benford that will be a MAJOR strike against him/her, and a probable sign they don't have 'it' when it comes to coach decisions.

I wish they'd use some of their money to hire more quality underlings in the athletic department, not just fund football coach, bb coach and AD at a high level.  Customer service is really in need of upgrading...hoping that they spend a bit more money for more competence.

What does "keep" Bedford mean to you? If the new AD let's Bedford coach this season or if he signs a new contract?

Agree.

That depends on the timing of the hire, if it's not until late August the new AD might not have much of a choice...

      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.
