This proves Seth can not only find talent on the field. But also in the coaching ranks

Davis was earning $150k and LeBlanc only $90K.  Should be able to attract some decent line coaches with ~$120K each.

Seems about right. Believe that the highest paid DL coach in C-USA is in that ~$120K range.

When Lebanc was hired I was hoping he would have some kind of recruiting connections for D-lineman from the Juco ranks. This didn't happen.

Congrats to coach Lebanc and welcome to the SEC!

Going to say, will be interesting to see LeBanc vs Davis when Kentucky plays UF

I've never understood the concerns about coaches coming here, doing well and being lured away by other opportunities. In my opinion, this is all good stuff. It makes us look more attractive to coaches hungry to further their careers and increase the level of talent of the coaches that would consider coming here.

I look at it this way.  The folks that really know college football; not any of the rating guys, but coaches, AD's and the like; know what a great job UNT did putting a valid team on the field and what a great job the coaches did with what we had to play with last year.  Not a knock on the players, but going from where we were, the where we ended up, must have been a lot better than we thought.....

Its not concerning if a coach leaves for a power 5 every once in a while, but changing 4 coaches this season is a bit on the high end, even if it indicates that other head coaches think we have got talent. In the short and mid-term it can't be great for player development, if they have to get used to somebody new almost every season.

I guess SL will have a good argument for raising the assistant salary pool when the next negotiations come around. That and an increased recruiting budget would be great places to elevate UNT from its C-USA brethren On a related note: for how long are we still paying McCarney and RV?

Do we still have a coach on the payroll that has experience coaching the DLine?

I know its a joke. But if he were up for it and SL agreed, I wouldn't even be angry if he were to do something for his salary, and I don't think he'd be bad at it. That said, I don't think he's up for it (why if he gets the money for free), and I see no reason why SL would want to agree to such a thing.

And 3 Power 5 Bowl teams at that. I think this should be def viewed as a positive for Seth 

I'm assuming that this would lead to a boost in funds for coaching salaries, but should we expect a boost elsewhere as well?

Besides in the boost of terms of people interested in UNT because of this as well...

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      MAC BROWN

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
