DRC (updated with story): Jeff Koonz leaving UNT's staff for Ole Miss, source confirms

Wow what horrible timing. I am legitimately pissed off but I'm not sure who to be pissed at. I can't be mad at Koonz for taking a better position. I guess I'm mad at Ole Miss for being aholes and poaching our coach this deep into the offseason? That seems like a **** move.

Maybe, but all NT coaches being hired to replace those leaving; are coming form somewhere.

I don't know how they're a-holes for having to fill a position. The guy Koonz is replacing left about a month ago so, if anything, we can call Ol Miss slow and/or lazy.

Best of luck to him. I am sure Seth will make an excellent hire.

Calling people from Mississippi “slow” is just going after low hanging fruit

absolutely not. It has to do with three things.

1 SEC

2 Moving back home

3 $$$

1 & 3 are synonomous. After all, It's not called the '$EC' for no reason.

That's more fair, but I prefer my version.

When you have success it means the big boys are going to come calling. He’s a great coach and person and I wish him well. As much as we hate to lose him it certainly can been as a sign of progress for the program. Now you gotta hire a better one and of course a good recruiter which may be the most important thing.
