Right, because head coaches are born and do not start as assistants before becoming a HC. Just because Benford did not work out doesn't mean every assistant will do the same. I honestly don't care that much if the guy is good or not, but this logic is flawed.

Michigan State also knows what it's like to hire an assistant with no HC experience.  Their guy just happens to have 7 final four appearances with 1 National Championship along the way.
Syracuse also knows what it's like to hire an assistant with no HC experience.   Their guy just happens to have 5 final four appearances with 1 National Championship along the way.

I all just depends on the guy you hire I suppose.   We really struck out with Benford.  I hope FIU doesn't fall as hard as we did.

      Brett Yormark, Big 12 Commissioner, basically told SMU that there was one school in the country that made obvious sense to add and it was SMU but TCU, OK State, Baylor, Tech, etc. did not want to elevate SMU. This year is proving them right to a certain degree b/c with the level playing field SMU will outspend and surpass them in record time. Why waste four years of your life in Lubbock, Stillwater, Fort Worth, or Waco when you could be in Dallas?

      RIP Dana. Too young indeed. He worked his craft his whole life. A short life well lived.

      what a bunch of garbage. Schools have been paying players, inducing high school recruits, and skirting (or outright ignoring) the rules since they started keeping score. The only difference now is that its out in the open for everyone to see. This is a bunch of revisionist history and yearning for the "good ol days" when in truth this stuff has always been there.

      Craponi should give his salary to Rod Brown for misusing him. In general, Rod has never been valued enough. He has been outstanding in very tough circumstances.

      Well NT 80, you are right. I am a dinosaur, but far from being a bitter fan. I have had a lot of joy through UNT athletics through out the decades but also some disappointment. I don't understand why our students show so little support and alumni give so little money. I don't understand why we can't build a winning football program but I expect you will tell us. I agree that my social graces have slipped but one of the pleasures of becoming an old man is not having to suffer fools.I will also at 82 admit to occasional memory lapses although I must say you are unforgettable. In summary I disagree with most but not all of your posts, respect your right to have a different opinion, find you easy to pimp,and wish you a blessed life.
