I got up and spoke specifically on two topics at the event.  Well there is now a tab as soon as you go to the football teams portion of the website, that says HS Coaches and it drops down to THSCA or out of state.  So excited to have helped streamline this process! It even gives directions on the next page.  Only other thing they may want to adjust is where to park, however I haven't gotten the follow up email yet.  So I will update once that happens.

Edit: took exactly 1 minute for the email to come back confirming my tickets.  No parking info, but it's a MASSIVE step in the appropriate direction.  Have a blessed Sunday, now back to film.

I just wanted to bring up that I tried going through the steps on my phone but when I tap on the THSCA link, nothing happens. It is probably just my phone but I thought I would bring it up for others to test so it can get fixed sooner rather than later if it indeed is a glitch. 

Great feature and congrats on getting it launched!

Disclaimer: I am not a coach but wanted to navigate the pages to get a feel for the process.

 

Thanks!

I got the out of state coaches link to work but no THSCA.  Most coaches will use the main site on their computers, but I've tweeted Wren to let him know the  miscue.

16 minutes after I tweeted him, he responded. 

 

This was a Sunday night at 10:44pm.    He didn't even have to reply.  He could have just made a note to do it in the morning and went to bed.   Hoping this kind of interaction is rather normal for him and not an anomaly.   This is how you can go above & beyond...  in the little things.

The real test is how long it takes the problem to get fixed. RV was great at smoozing donors, he just did it by phone. Rarely did things get fixed or a long running problem get solved, though.

24, let us know when the problem is fixed, if you don't mind.

Don't let UNT90 know you have had communications with WB, he will accuse you of being friends with him and will cover-up any mistakes he may make....and will be more than happy to go along to get along......Just an FYI....

Sweet.  Jebus.

I am getting really tired of every thread turning into a personal pissing match.   Here a good rule of thumb:   If you find yourself talking about another poster or yourself, even if you just refer to the other in a vague group reference, don't post it.

I am trying to be fair here.  Stop it or get vacations from the board.    If you feel this post is talking about you, it probably is.

Awesome Job!!

Did UNT not do this before hand or was it just not easily accessible through their website?

No, only way to get tickets was call the ticket office (we all know what a night mare that is, I sat on hold for 20 minutes one day trying to get signed up as coach for tickets).  No coach in Tx has 20 minutes during the week to get tickets to a football game.  Every other school had a THSCA button you can click.  Ours was pretty easy to navigate (to find) and they are working on the mobile access as that was the only problem I encountered.

Well I am glad they got this turned around and in the right direction @GMG24. The DFW is too big and too rich with talent to not make it easier for local coaches to come and enjoy the ball game.

I agree whole heartedly.  I obviously went through the process because I bleed green, others not so much.  I knew our process had to be just as easy if not easier than other schools.  Most schools (TCU, UT, ATM, Baylor) etc OU, OSU, open their tickets up to HS coaches on Friday morning at 7 am.  I am glad to see we are getting out and getting ahead of the curve.

What would be really nice if they would take it to the next level. Get the email addresses of every coach in the region and send them a email asking if they want tickets to the game and include a link

@UNT90 I forgot to check all day yesterday, got busy but when I got home used the mobile website and the link worked like a charm.  I did not go all the way through the process because I already got tickets for that game.  Here is the tweet I got from Wren Baker letting him know it was working. 

Less than 2 days is pretty impressive.

Trying to Wrenovate Capper's reputation?

When Baker gets tired of continually having to correct Capper's responsibilities, Capper will be gone. 

Shouldn't take too long.

      For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but dammit I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
