Is there any chance that they could convince Daryl Dickey to come back?  He seemed to do pretty good when he was here and knows about how to win.  And we have a nicer stadium now.

If true then the BOR and school president can usher WB out with SL when he goes. That would be completely unacceptable.

You do know he interviewed for the Philly HC job this past offseason, right?

And with the way the Cowboys offense looks so far, this guy will pretty much be able to name his next job in about 4 months.

Hence the term "longshot"

He can't say no if we don't ask.

Maybe "far-fetched" would have been more appropriate.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to think Philly told him “you need some more experience and HC experience would be a plus”

and thus…….

This won’t happen. We won’t Benford this thing, as we aren’t paying for multiple buyouts at the same time. Basically, Bumford stayed a final season because we had just paid out $2.1 million to get DMac to leave and then we paid off RV to get the hell out of town. That was over $2.5 million in buyouts. That’s why Benford never got formally fired.

Now, SL will get fired. It’s hopefully at the end of the year if we haven’t won enough games. If not, he’ll be fired next year, as he has now proven that he can’t get these kids to develop into something better than 4 wins without Graham Harrell. But make no mistake, he won’t be coaching here in 2023 unless we see an incredible turnaround.

Let's be real. Majority of students, community and alumni don't give a hoot about nt football program.

••• UNT students set an all time Apogee Stadium student attendance record in Littrell’’s last 9-4 season.  That would be larger than SMU & TCU’s combined students game attendance best.

••• 40,000 Mean Green fans cared to show up as seen in the video in a UNT bowl win. 

••• Once again, Kansas State lost for half a century in the Big 8, then they hired Bill Snyder.  

••• Winning cures cancer—even in Denton.

Could be Colby Carthel in his third year at SFA. They play Sam this weekend at NRG in Houston. It will definitely a good one to watch.

Was a really good game but SFA didn’t have enough in the tank. I’m still pro-Carthel though.

If we are staying in the 1.5 million annual salary range, I would prefer to go the route of a current NFL assistant with at least 8 years college coaching experience with significant portion of it at a strong G5 program.   I think either running a more pro style offense or triple option is the way to go at UNT.  We consistently seem to bring in good running back talent no matter who is coaching here.  Triple option doesn’t recruit well so I think pro style is the way to go.  If we can get a guy known as a QB guru it would do wonders here.  
 
If we are staying under 1 million for annual HC salary we need to invest more into the OC and DC positions.  Give those Coordinators solid contracts with stability.   I wonder what would have been possible here if Sonny Dykes was hired as the HC and SL as assistant HC/OC.    
 

Truly we need 2 dynamic coaches get this program where it should be.  One experienced head coach on his way to a P5 program in 3 years and younger hot commodity assistance that will be ready to take the job when the HC get that P5 job.

This topic has been a great read.

Gotta love that so many of us wanted Briles the last time around, and he turned us down because he was being groomed to take over for his dad.

Then he was bashed on here after the Baylor debacle. We were all,”Bet he wished he took the job now.” 

Then he ended up at FAU, and his offense just embarrassed us. 
 

Now we are back to him as one of our top targets. Love it. 
 

To the Oahu guy, Denton is part of DFW bro, we are a bandwagon town. Look at every professional sport as well as TCU and SMBleh. This area supports winners. If you win, people show up. Only exception to that is the cowboys. A few years ago SMU had a killer bball season and every game was sold out. TCU started winning and FW adopted them. The Rangers were going to WS and people that didn’t even know who the 3rd starter in the rotation were asking off to go to games. 

FWIW, my choice is

1:)briles, just like last time

2) Sumlin

3) someone ridiculous like Deion sanders because you know he’s gonna get athletes we have no business getting. Just like he’s doing at an FCS

I'll pass on Deion. Seems like more of a publicity stunt, even if he can recruit. Seth can recruit, but can't develop. I want someone that can develop guys, and hire good coordinators.

I have no idea how his X-and-Os are, but Deion is magnetic.  Kids want to play for him, and his preacher-like speeches get his athletes fired up.  They are running through brick walls for him.

Sumlin or someone with a similar resume and time coaching in Texas would be my first choice.  I am not intrigued with any Offensive coordinator that hasn’t coached in the NFL.  All these spread option and Air Raid systems are similar.  If your position coaches aren’t top notch refining the techniques for each position the OC doesn’t matter.  
 

But the notion of turning our noses up at a former Cowboy with Super Bowl Rings (one of them with the Cowboys) and a Hall of Fame Jacket? 🤔 Recruiting in DFW area and Texas in general. If I thought for a second he would consider it I am on the phone with his agent ASAP.   He would be my first choice we NEED a publicity stunt to differentiate ourselves in this market.      If we got 6 bonafide 5 star athletes the X & O don’t matter that much going against CUSA west.  Imagine if we had gotten Courtland Sutton and Darden.  That would have been possible if you have someone like Deion.  Reading the defense doesn’t matter that much when you top 2 options are always open.

Mike, Kevin Sumlin has the infamous designation of losing not one, but TWO 5-star QB's in one freaking football season (Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray).  NO THANKS!

Oh hell, I’m too old to be getting fired. Wait a minute, I own my own business—how can I get fired?🤢

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
