WB on Tennessee AD watch list

[El Paso Eagle]

Hopefully not

[DeepGreen]

Oh schit!

[Coach Andy Mac]

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

A lot of good names on that list. I think we'll be alright. 

[Uncle]

[tmjerm]

He’s listed 3rd and he’s done a hell of a job so it has me a little worried but with all their football misery in recent years I imagine they want a proven program and the last two yrs may be the deal breaker.  

[RiseUNT]

Do not give him a raise just to stay.

[SteaminWillieBeamin]

He's made some ho-hum hires and the money making sport for College is in the toilet. I think we are ok. 

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

That job is also a dumpster fire. The football program is hemmoraging recruits and they are about to be handcuffed for years with sanctions for recruiting violations. Not a great situation to jump into.

Ho hum hires?

[greenminer]

It might not mean anything, but I think Wren talks a very good talk.  The guy presents himself in a way that's about as professional and articulate as I have ever seen.

Again, might not mean a damn thing to TN. Just my 0.02.

Curious what hires people think are ho-hum.  Some people don't even put the SL hire on him.

"Wren Baker enters the transfer portal."

[DeepGreen]

BTW, whoever photoshopped Wren Baker's tie from green to orange did a lousy job.  But nice try.

[RBP79]

So Tenn, University of, would hire a FBS Athletic Director whose Football Program is let's say having issues to come in and rebuild their Football Program that appears to be imploding. If they hire him...good for Wren.

That would be so fitting for North Texas lol

How could you?  SL was hired long before WB ever even got here.

I mean, the qb coach got dragged out of here in hand cuffs.

He grossly over paid and over contracted Kansas DC.

The OC from the season before this last year made it all of half a season before Seth took over play calling.

Not to mention, we have the highest paid coach in CUSA that can't seem to get even close to beating a real team. That highest paid title had only grown under Wren's watch.

Doesn’t Seth’s buyout drop if Wren leaves? I don’t remember if it is both for us to buy him out or another team to buy him out or just cheaper for another team to buy him out.

Well if Wren does leave maybe he will take his football coach with him.

[akriesman]

I hope that some of you are joking.   Losing Wren would be a massive hit in the most critical position for the university.

Look at his large body of work since he has been at UNT.    Yeah, football has regressed the last 2 years.   But, if we leave it alone (including the new DC Bennett) the next 2 seasons should be a big improvement IMO.

It's was only a matter of time before Wren was on a P5's radar.        We need to hang onto him for at least a couple more years.

I think it is the other way around. That it goes up for us if the AD or President leave. And cheaper for another team for pluck him away. My memory is fuzzy so it could be just the latter.

I do remember the latter but the former may still be true. I remember thinking (at the time) how bad it would suck for a P5 to poach both as a package deal and we get less money.

[NM Green]

I think Wren should eye the cusa commissioner’s post. He actually likes to talk up his school imagine how passionate he could talk about cusa - barely heard Judy speak before.

but I’ll hope we keep him around Denton for a good while. I like some of the good all around accomplishments he has made for good ole UNT.

I think it is telling that this photo was thrown up on the site yet none welcoming Phil Bennett.

So we’re just talking football? What about the amazing hire in Grant McCasland, Rodney Delong, and other assistants that were poached by P5 in FB??
