Good, that means we got rid of him and it wasn't just him retiring.  This is a good thing, shows things are happening

[MeanGreenTexan]

Anyone else still believe he retired on his own?

[NorthTexan95]

Whatever the reason, he's no longer here and I'm ok with that.  

[UNTLifer]

Good for him.  I wish him well.

[Mean Green Matt]

Was this Arkansas State's "Administrator to be named later" option from our hiring of Mccasland?

Or he did retire and is now earning teachers' pension in Texas while pulling a salary elsewhere.

I never thought he did, but it is good that he is gone.

Conley was a good man but we needed someone younger in that position.

I’d imagine this is 100% the case. A lot of folks working for the state (like Rick Perry) “retire” to take their pension and return to work to get a salary on top of it. It’s called double dipping. Scotty just gave himself a raise.

Good for Mr. Conley. The free market at work. Gets pension, then Oh, another employer invests in Mr. Conley's skills, talents, and ability. Another source of income for an older individual (and family) with wisdom and plenty of contacts in the HS coaching world in TX.. I'm sure Mr. Conley has a few idea's about how to implement and improve football operations at Ark. St.. You'd have to believe the AD at Ark. St. discussed Mr. Conley's thoughts surrounding football operations at Ark. St. interview process along with Mr. Conley's developed relationships with TX high school coaches.  Of course it will take several years to see how/if Ark. St. recruiting improves within TX.. 

There's not one of us especially older individual's who just fade away in the night just because they lost there job, or separated from an employer. Mr. Conley must have a good/great reputation in some circles since his time between jobs was so brief.

[GrandGreen]

I suspect most of us will never know why Conley left it could be:

He was terminated, not likely or he would not have another job this quickly.

He found another job and quit.  Not that likely either, why would he prefer Arkansas State?

Most likely guess, from someone who has been on too many of both sides of reorganizations.   He was told he did not fit the current organization and was given a timeframe to find another employer.   

Whatever,  I hope all parties end up better off.

After 8 long years of terrible communication with HS coaches...

Good? Hardly...

“A good man”: UNT code words for sucking ass and not having to actually do what you are paid to do.

What, did you prefer to keep him another year?

You are such a joy and full of classy comments.

well i just knew him when i was an RA at victory hall with in 2010 when he was part of dodge's staff. When i said a "good man" i just mean a nice guy. I don't know a dam thing about what he did or if he was good or bad at his job.

I had the same impression. At the tonne he was Director of Operations which was probably a better role for him.

Like, do you put it under a table leg to keep it from being rickety?

You support a family scholarship fund, not UNT athletics. By your own report. So I’ll say what I want because I actually have money committed to this program right now. You do not. Which would be fine except for your campaign to silence people who don’t agree with your low standards for UNT.

No money commitment and low standards? Maybe those things aren’t mutually exclusive, eh?

[Greenrex]

Just an observation:
A post about a former NT employee moving on to another gig, still on the first page, and already a face sctatchin' fight.

Re-read what I posted.  I supported both until last year, when I had to make a decision and chose to support my family's scholarship fund since I live 5 hours away, couldn't make any games and had to make a decision to contribute to one or the other.  I will be contributing to both this year.

I don't have low standards.  My comment was about your classless jab at Conley.

You don't owe 90 a single oat,

But he very clearly has your goat.

The only winning move is not to play

But you just can't seem to walk away.

You can do it - be the bigger man

There's no way Eminem could have received that tape from Stan.
