yeah, if you are suggesting we go after Graham, I'd rather pursue someone that would want to be at North Texas longer than 10 games.

I don’t trust coaches named Todd👀

Check the back story on Pitt which happened 10yrs ago. He was at ASU for 6 years. I am suggesting he should get a serious look. He will probably have the best WL record of other candidates, local ties and only making $800,000 k a year. I guess the Pirate and Lane should not appli.

He also left Rice after one year…he even got them to a bowl game.

I don't trust a coach that wears sweatbands while flashing the devil sign on the sideline.

I agree.  Sometimes wonder if that matters the most to the decision makers.

If that were the only qualifier, you’d take Art Briles over Toad Graham all day everyday but it is more complicated than that.

Not a fair comparison but we can agree to disagree.

You said you wondered if winning mattered most to the decision makers. If winning mattered most, Briles is obviously a better choice than Graham. If we are looking at character too, there are plenty of candidates way better than either Briles or Graham.

You a Chad Morris fan?  W-L record should be at the top of the list. Have done it multiple schools at different levels even more impressive.

I’m an Art Briles fan but I’ve been told over and over there is zero chance so if character and reputation matter, Todd Graham should not sniff the interview process. Chad Morris is a joke. Clemson actually got better when he left, as did SMU and Arkansas. He was Todd Dodge with better assistants and a bigger budget.

I'm 100% positive we will sort this Graham/Briles/Morris debate within the next few posts.  Everyone will be in 100% agreement and GMG.com will move on.

So you support interviewing Briles, but not Graham because of character issues??? Graham is 104-70 Briles is 99-65 they are both in the 60% win column. The biggest gripe is he may leave. Put in a $10m buy out. (UTSA). Worth a look.

That isn’t what I said. I said if character issues are secondary to winning, then absolutely Briles should be higher on the list. He has a more recent 10-win season than Toad has. What has Toad done in the state of Texas in the last decade? Nothing.

Around 20% of the roster are Texas kids. He still recruits Texas.

Just not very well.

Chad Morris' W-L record is impressive......

 

 

 

 

For the teams he plays against.

I’ve met the guy and my mom knows him from HS. Hes a sleezebag and all he wants to do is move up to his next big job. Plus hes been inconsistent. Do you wanna know the real reason he was fired by ASU? It’s because after those two back-to-back 10-win seasons his teams were at best average and went 18-20 over the next three years.
