He wins games. Yes, it's risky, but regardless of his history, he should coach here.

[WanderingEagle]

I know we're all trying to figure out the best way forward with our football team's HC but I don't know why we're ignoring Nick Saban as an option. Depending on who you ask, he's one of the more promising coaches in the country and I think we should consider him. Even though his plucky Alabama squad looks beatable I think we should give him a shot.

Is it now clear to the UNT fanbase now that we have to hire someone who can win?  

[greenjoe]

Why not Nick Saban ?

[vpackrats]

Good job with the topic headline.  It just screams a thread about "he who must not be named".

Pick up the phone Wren!!!1!1!1!!

[tmjerm]

I’m just not sure he’s ready for this level of ball.  Makes me nervous. 

[golfingomez]

I don't know why we always get enamored with these up and coming coaches... i want someone who would coach here and STAY here... if this guy has like two winning seasons, he's going to bolt for kansas st

 

[Rudy]

But can he win with our level of recruits and facilities?

[emmitt01]

I’m almost sold, but I have just one question.  
 

Does he look happy enough while standing on a sideline?  

[Rudy]

Does he mold players into model husbands and fathers?  Does he have an inner city men's ministry that will keep him here if a P5 school is interested?

Hell, can he even recruit?  Period.  I just don't know.

[untjim1995]

Let’s be honest…Saban could never handle the scrutiny of Brett Vito

[Side.Show.Joe]

Today, Arkansas.... the team we stomped just a few short years ago will beat Texas A&M. Just like they beat Texas two weeks ago. And, a major reason why they are undefeated will be standing on the sideline....

 

 

Innovative play calling. Texas high school ties. Understanding of the transfer portal. Won at every stop.

Kendall Briles is ready to be our next head coach.

I’m in the camp for Straight Arrow Genero. If he can coach a bunch of walk ons to beat the best team in the country, he can win at little ol’ UNT. 

[MeanGreenTexan]

With what we’re paying Littrell, we’re a top job in G5!

This Saban guy could be a top-paid G5 coach with access to the best recruiting grounds in America if he came to Denton.  I bet he’d jump at the opportunity.  He’s won almost everywhere he’s been.  I’m a little concerned about that Miami stop though.

I am not sold that hiring an offensive coach for our head coach is the path to success here.  Offensive coach and offensive player talent is at an all time high in Football at every level.  Find a head coach who can coach defense and recruit that side of the ball effectively and you can find sufficient offensive coaching and player talent much easier.  A part of the reason our offense sucks now is that they aren’t facing Solid FBS level defense in practice.

Also with the last name Briles I am not sure he could recruit to North Texas.  SMU, TCU, Rice or Houston maybe

Why not?  We have white girls on campus.
