Ekeler Out at UNC

[TheReal_jayD]

Mack Brown made his first round of cuts today. And former UNT Co-DC Mike Ekeler was one of the first to go. Hate that for Eke always like his passion.

All the speculation about Littrell, and I forgot about the rest of our staff until this popped up...

Anyone concerned about guys like Koonz, Mainord, Biagi?

You have to assume that every college assistant wants to be a P5 HC some day.  Mainord's still a few rungs away from that, so I have to think if he's offered as a P5 OC or a G5 HC (not really likely, but still), he's gone.

Oh man, I really liked Coach Ekeler. I'm sure he'll be able to land another gig someplace else, but still.

chin up chest bump for him

[Moobs]

Someday he'll get a HC job, and then he'll give SL a run for his money in the toughest coaches poll.

Hate to see people get fired, but it is the nature of that business.  Wonder if he's still living in that Winnebago?

Yes, but also LBs coach.  When he left, we backfilled him with Koonz, who I would HATE to lose.

Its hard to believe we will keep the full staff again this off season. Also, if you have an opportunity to upgrade (potentially) you make changes

I wouldn’t stay in NC either if my daily commute was from Denton.

Don't want him.  He didn't want to be here, so I don't want him back.  He can get a job at Camping World for all I care.  Any coach that lives in a Winnebago during his season here tells me he is just passing through and not committed to the program.

you know some people actually appreciate the minimalism the van/rv life provides and that it may not be an indicator of commitment.

Mack should have kept him.
