I really hope UNT is focusing on a marketing blitz right now on ALL social media to get La Tech packed.  And not just the UNT community, this is perfect opportunity to really bridge the gap that always seems to be floating around between UNT and City of Denton.   Seems to me that if Denton would really get behind UNT, be supportive, then it's a win-win for them. Many fans meandering around town are going to throw money at local businesses. 

Denton, help us help you!!  

A. Get the shuttle thing figured out, NOW!  Add more busses, stretch them out so there's a continuous flow coming and going.  

B. Don't wait for UNT to color the town GREEN on homecoming.  Throw some on Denton's own dollars into banners for downtown, banners from light poles, etc  

C. Encourage business owners on the square to wear Green on Fridays (just like the students...) and Saturdays. Offer a slight discount to any customer wearing Mean Green anything on game days.  

The wrestling event after the game at SMU was a huge hit.  I wouldn't have guessed it, but I was proven wrong.  It's going to nicer weather that week, likely cool comfortable evening.  Good opportunity for a fireworks show. Start advertising it now and it'll help get families out there. 

I trust that WB had some people on all of that the moment everyone else left for Fayetville.

It's the conference opener.  LaTech has great fans and will bring a lot more than SMU did.  So, I think we'll have a great crowd.  However, there are other things to worry about.  Road wins are alway hard to come by, let's take care of Liberty first. 

To be honest, pee wee teams travel better than $mut.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.
