Tony Benford Update

[ADLER]

Who on this board would take Benford back as our head coach should Grant fail this season?  I would.  Benford would have the facilities and the backing at UNT.

And this is why crack should remain illegal.

I sense sarcasm here.

I would. 

I remember the consecutive conference titles...though I have to say, CUSA wasn't really all that strong back then and who did he really beat?  I also remember that the current Super PIt is a completely different building than the old one and that the athletic department's budget is WAY different than it was back when he was here.  

Remember that time the team bus broke down on the way to UT and they had to take fans who had won a bus ride down off of their bus so that the team could make it there on time?  Man, I sure do.  TOTALLY comparable to back when DD was here.

 I wasn't sure whether to react with "Haha" or "Confused" - decided on "Haha"

That's astounding.  I can barely remember him getting consecutive wins.

I think that "Haha", "Confused" or "Eye Roll" would have been equally appropriate.

I do remember the consecutive losses adding up…

Was hoping the update was that Benford had been hired by Western Kentucky.

A really nice guy who was over his head.

Stansbury and Benford share some coaching features. Can recruit, can’t coach.

Agree but I feel like Benford was very let down by his top assistant Robb Evan’s who clearly was coasting into retirement when here.
