Very proud of Combs! He had a good season and deserves a chance to take his game to the NFL. Congratulations.

Any word about Eric Keena ?

 

GO MEAN GREEN

Been looking and can't find anything. Would guess that maybe he gets something closer to the time for rookie camps or even Training Camp. 

NFL.com had him ranked and he was in the post-season show-cases, I would think he atleast can get a try.

Kickers so rarely get picked up in the draft though. If he does well in camps, I really doubt he gets completely passed over. I think there were 1 or 2 drafted this year.

Was Jamize Olawale a UDFA?  He's still with the Raiders.

Yeah man...he was undervalued with us but did well in camp or something and got picked up. He didn't really have enough game time to even be on anyone's radar for the draft.

Congrats to Jareid! Hopefully he'll avoid those player cuts in the preseason and lands a spot on the roster for the regular season.

Also hoping this is just the first of many NFL success stories under Seth Littrell and the Mean Green!

He wasn't even at FB when he came out of school. The Cowboys had him tryout, signed him as a rookie, and moved him there. They liked him a lot and he had a great pre-season, but he got waived and signed w the practice squad so they could keep another RB (Tanner?). 

Maybe halfway through the season, the Raiders ran low on RBs (McFragile, you know), and they signed him. He made his bones on ST and over time got more and more looks. And they kept him. 

UDFA, special teams, hard work. That will be the common thread for most of our guys to make it in the NFL.

The Jets punter was ranked near the bottom of the league last year.

That is good to hear. While Keena is on a try out, if he kicks well then he could get an invite to Camps. Most teams will take multiple K/P into TC.

The only question is about his leg strength in the meadowlands.

the nfl hasn't adopted the rugby style punter like the college level, but i could see that benefiting the winds in the meadowlands.

we can hope. Just saying if Combs and Keena both catch on, in NYC that could be good for UNT football

      Understood. Sorry for your repeated traumatic football events. I'll be like you one day.

      Head Coach Bill Belichick North Carolina

      Harbaugh was considered "too costly" by Gretchen Bataille, our President at the time. He basically used us for interview experience and got the Stanford job. RV basically realized that to keep his job, as always, he just had to stay in budget, so he hired Todd Dodge from Southlake Carroll, who brought over his coordinators from the high school to be our coordinators. The good news was that Dodge didn't cost us too much, so we fired him after he was deemed affordable to let go, as it only cost us $325k to fire him, after his spectacular 6-37 record. And thank goodness we didn't fire him after his third season, or else that $325k we saved by letting him coach again for a 4th season got us one extra win for Coach Dodge and it allowed us to have our best season since 2006, at 3-9. RV got to keep his job as AD for another 9 years after hiring Dodge in 2007. Even though he hired the worst football coach in our history (Dodge), the worst women's basketball coach in our history (Shanice Stephens), and a men's basketball coach that absolutely destroyed a program that had been in the NCAA Tournament and had a great 5* recruit herein exactly one season (yet still got 5 years to coach). He was only let go after the 17 boosters he had fleeced for years to pay for access to our program decided that paying off the contract of Dan McCarney for over $2 million immediately following the worst loss in modern college football history on Homecoming against an FCS program in Portland State 66-7 was too much to swallow and eventually saw him leave in the spring of 2016. No matter how frustrated anyone is with our athletic department right now, its light years better than it was back then.

      Bye Bye....Topic?

      Can't believe he murdered that boy scout. That CEO was on his way to save a bunch of children from a burning skyscraper too...

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      I have no idea what point you are attempting to make. The basketball team is doing fine at this point, have you already decided this won't be a good year before the first conference game? Likewise the new DC of football is not worthy, based on what?
