Seth hires 2 coaches for offense

[TheReal_jayD]

 

Love these hires. Both have experience in the Briles offensive system. I believe that is what Seth is wanting to transition to. Love these hires. 

[MGNation92]

I hope so. We’ve been hearing about tempo tempo tempo since Seth has gotten here and we’ve never actually seen it

[MeanGreenTexan]

Color me underwhelmed.    Huge gamble for Seth coming off such a disappointing season.

But hey, welcome to North Texas Coach Wallis & Coach Bloesch!   You have your work cut out for you.

[Felozano]

So Seth is running the offense next season and these are supplemental hires?  These new coaches should help with recruiting, too.  Let's do this!

I am also underwhelmed. I think I expected much more with increase in salary and seeing what FAU is doing. But I guess we'll see what happens. 

[SigmaGreen]

Maybe Wallis is going to help pull some talent from Argyle to North Texas?

I hate to loose Marty Biagi, but guess he is going to Purdue.   Understand it, but wow we now have a lot of new members of the staff that need to gel.

Tulsa was 4-8 last year. Scored 26 points a game. Averaged  138 on the ground and 281 through the air.

With Seth as OC these are good supportive hires! Congrats to all!

[FirefightnRick]

I’m hoping we run the ball to set up the pass.

This looks like SL is playing the long game with this hire. Get these two here to learn the system in 2020, which is looking more and more like a year to focus on pure rebuilding. SL knows he has 3 years left on his contract after 2020, so he will go all in for 2021. That will be his last chance at the P5 dream. My guess is that if we have a losing record in 2021, we will cut bait, so that is his year to either get that P5 gig or another extension here or just be another UNT coach to leave here as fired, like everyone has since 1981.

I don't mind having multiple OCs. I don't even REALLY mind having one be from high school. But because Seth is calling plays, and the other guys (including Mainord) have positions to coach, why still give all 3 the title of "co-OC"?

And why do we need to pay premium for Tulsa’s OL coach...

I'm also a bit underwhelmed with these hires.  I guess I was just expecting more.  Tulsa and Argyle have been sitting at home doing nothing as long as UNT has.  If this is who WB & SL really wanted to hire, this announcement would have been made long before Christmas.

That being said, I don't completely dislike the hires.  They both seem qualified, although I am a bit hesitant about HS coaches at UNT given our history. Haha

Welcome to Denton and Go Mean Green!

He put the staff together, let's see what he can do with 'em.

[El Paso Eagle]

I think this also shows that Seth has confidence in Bowen to handle the defense and he believes he can get the offense where he wants them. I hope that Wallis will continue to help build relationships with High School coaches in Texas

Time to steal back Tommy Perry!

I may be remembering incorrectly but does that mean we can't recruit from Argyle HS for 2 years?

Or does that only apply to high school HC

Not sure, but I would love to give Bo Hogeboom, Argyle QB and Houston baseball commit, a shot.

I believe if he is hired for an "on the field" role he can still recruit his old school. I think, could be really wrong, the rule was put in place to avoid hiring HS coaches for "support" roles

why would he make a lateral move?

If he is also the "co-OC" would it be a lateral move?

I’m not sure how old the rule is but Garrison Johnson followed Kason Martin’s dad Kirk to Syracuse just a couple years ago.
