Not sure what you mean by "middling around".  He took over a program that went 13-31 the four years prior to his arrival including 1-10 the year before (2017) he was hired.  He then produced teams that went 6-5, 5-7, 3-3, 10-3 and his recruits are currently 11-1 on this year and still in the playoffs.

Bolded is middling.   10-3 is great!   
Why leave to take an OC job after that kind of success?   ...my opinion, based strictly on observation:  He didn't think he could keep it going if he lost Ward.   Red flag.  Not a disqualifier.  Just a red flag.

GJ Kinne parlayed this year's success into an FBS HC gig.  Good for him.

This post shows you have no clue what you’d be getting with Herman. His reputation with Texas HS coaches was one of the determining factors in his firing because he was lying to HS recruits to the poi

Well, there you have it folks.   Anyone that SMU would call despicable (and that is a HIGH moral bar to clear) we should steer clear of.

I really liked Tom Herman last night.  You can tell he really cares about the kids and the fans.  He has a passion we really miss with Seth Nimoy.

I’d say if he ever wanted to be G5/P5 HC he’d have to have a P5 coordinator skins to do so. And the family could have used the extra 200k

GJ became a FBS HC after just 1 season there!

He's also already had the P5 coordinator skins (at TXTech for 4 years!).  Why does he need more?  Kinne didn't.

Texas State didn’t think that out too well. And 4 years at south plains tech is not credible. 
from all the hearsay Tex st went after Morris with their coin purse not a brinks truck and he told them just how and why they will continue to suck

I hope that whoever they hire comes in with a fire and excitement towards the fans/community like Traylor and McGuire have shown. I think this program needs a shot of adrenaline from the head coach!

Serious question, does Jason Witten do anything for you?

From what I understand, Harrell loved his time here. He’s young, energetic & every high school coach in Texas knows who he is. He’s been the OC & QB coach here & at the P5 level. I would think he would keep Cobbs as RB coach & maybe a few others if hired as head coach.

Another Fuente, Riley, and Harrell mention here.

If this Fuente bs comes to fruition, you got to hand it to Wren for winning the game. He gets a new job making an extra half a million at a p5 school, he helps get rid of the old coach Just-in time to get his old unemployed buddy hired. A hire for which he would never be held accountable. If it really is Fuente, well played Wren, Wren 1 UNT 0.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make, but no is the answer to your question. He’s never even been a college coach.

He turned around a Liberty program quickly.  Just throwing it out there.

We need a coach that is defensive minded.  Seems to be lost skill in the day of air raid offense.  Or we buy our old DC who was so good book (he really has a book on it) on how to stop the spread offense with a 3-4 and drop it off on the new dc desk.

AND GJ Kinne rides Morris coat tail and Tex State believes that this years team is full of kinne recruits and gives him a couple mil. Wow

Morris took his ball (Ward) and went home, inexplicably.

Kinne came in with a new QB and took them higher than ever before.

He's had a year off to gather himself.    If he found that fire again, there's no denying he's a proven winner.

That's the key - Does he want to be here and sees it as a positive, or does he look at it as a necessary step to get back to where he thinks he should be. I have faith that Neil and company will hire someone that they believe will be successful. Honestly, I am almost as concerned about the staff Coach ? puts together. We need a difference making recruiter on staff.

Gary Patterson is such a wild card. I think we all question if he still has the hunger for the the grind to build a program up. I feel like he could be a huge success or a big dud with no in-between. 

We do? I don’t. Id take him over any other option thats been previously named in a heartbeat. He’s significantly better than every other candidate listed and has had sustained success. If hes a dud then yeah it sucks big time but his upside is much higher than everyone else

      I know he won a NC at Texas but why would he be different from McCarney, and he is older than Dan?

      The Band

      That’s very impressive. Let’s NIL their director.

      The Band

      Thats fantastic. They should have their own unique uni's with their school colors. Or at least have some sort of insignia on their NT uniforms. I have written MANY TIMES to the school of music expressing my concerns about the Green Brigade. Daniel Cook actually ask me to watch a practice where they debuted the North Texas fanfare. Something that he either composed himself or had someone in the school of music compose. Daniel (Dr?) Cook inherited a pretty crappy version of the Green Brigade. The most significant change he made was the fanfare. The rest is CRAP. The Band is unwieldy and bloated, and the best word (besides crap) to describe the pre-game show is "perfunctory". They just go through the (musical) motions. At the Army game, as the Band was at mid-field playing the fight song I stood up and did the traditional clapping along with the band, but I kept yelling "TEMPO! TEMPO! GET THE DAMN TEMPO UP! Get to the middle of the field with energy and forgodsakes STOP PLAYING THE "AMERICAN EMBLEM MARCH". That is Junior High stuff. THIS is what a College Band looks like......or is SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. This is the closest thing to what the North Texas Band used to look like in the 60's-early 70's, under the late, great Maurice McAdow........only the McAdow Bands played better than these guys. But everything else (including the Uniforms) were pretty much the same. So I ask, do they have more talented musicians than us? Do they have more pride than us? I'm interested in hearing from "letsgiveacheer" about this.
