Our OC was a success at this level, not sure if translate well. I expect a lot more from our OC this year.

Just no to any coach with ties to Texas Tech's defense. Is there anyone on TCU's staff that is young and talented and ready to move up?

How about Blake Seiler, former DC at K-State and current ILB coach at West Virginia?

If Gibbs wants to come to North Texas I don't think you say no.

There are not enough up-votes to up-vote this post enough.

You can’t dismiss a coach simply because of the offensive system they were stuck with. The North Texas defense on a Todd Dodge coached team was on the field much longer in real time as compared to the defenses on a McCarney or especially Dickey coached team. These passing offenses cause your own defense to be on the field for many more plays. Look at defensive genius Gary Patterson after he brought on Meacham and Cumbie, the ppg he gave up went up quite a bit

Don't we run a version of this offense?

Exactly, even folks like Chavis and Saban start to do worse when an offensive system like that is installed by their own OC. More stopped clock = more plays = more points. What we need is turnovers and that is something that Gibbs, Skladany, Patterson, etc can produce. All you need is one more point than the other guys.

Any word on how soon before we see a change? Scott could take over for the last two games.

Don’t see that happening before the end of the season at this point

Reffett makes 250K a year so I think you have to pay more than that. It would be nice if we could find a DC with ties to North Texas and loves the school. Kind of like PC is for our RBs. PC loves this school and his RBs do very well despite the subpar offensive line. I believe PC pours his heart and soul into coaching the guys to be the best. Thirdly, he needs to be able to recruit talent. No matter what scheme you run, if they are not talented, then you can only get so far. Fourth since I don't think fourthly is a word (but it could be), he needs to be able to make adjustments quickly. Who is that person? Hell, I have no idea, but it certainly is not Ref.

I want some to put the Mean back in Green on the D-side of the ball. I want a coach that will teach tackling techniques not this bump tackling our guys try so much. We have been very poor at tackling this year.

Like I pointed out earlier we need a coach who knows how to recruit at this level.

BTW I heard Ark made a request to join CUSA but was turned down because we have so many poor playing teams in CUSA. WK kick them in the butt yesterday. How long do you think their hc will be around?

A poster on here was flaunting potentially paying the new DC in the ballpark of 500k. Not sure if there is truth to that, but if it is true UNT will have no issue getting a qualified badass DC in here.

Phil Bennett is too old. They will take a big name that is on a fired staff after the season. Look at teams that have coaches on the hot seat. They also may promote from within.

I liked Skladany, and he is 8 years older than Bennett.

greenminer · November 10, 2019

Does the current staff have anyone 60+ years old? Might be worth it to have that experience/wisdom on hand.

A couple things:

the Chad Morris era in Arkansas is over
an interesting read about Pete Golding’s rise as DC through UTSA and now currently at Alabama. Obviously, his seat got very hot after yesterday.
