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

Tons of concern about him and how he'd handle the NIL era.

That, & does he still have the fire.

It’s been said he wants to focus more on his music.   If so, but he still has competitive juice, I can’t think of a better place than Denton & UNT.

I hope whoever we get keeps Quinn Shanbour on staff. He’s been with UNT since 2013!

he's over 60, with a supposed net worth of 12 million.  I have zero insight into Gary's mind, but would totally understand anyone in that situation pursuing something easier.

You need to understand, guys like Gary who have worked their way up through the trenches and into the limelight and pinnacle of success just don’t do well fishing and watching football on TV.  They need the grind.  Dilfer the new coach at UAB has said as much and he has way more money than Gary does.

I get this mindset, but to cast this as some kind of universal/umbrella statement across every single coach is a big leap.

Jason Garrett to Stanford. Well he's a finalist for it.

Purdue and Stanford are the only P5 openings. Stanford finalists are Jason Garrett and the Sacramento State HC. I really doubt Jeff Traylor goes to Purdue.

Except maybe Austin, the Texas Music Capitol.

I would not be surprised.  Fertitta can yank the plug on Holgorsen any time he wants to.

FWIW, Craven and company said (I’m paraphrasing), “UT or A&M only. UH would not be a big enough step up. He turned down Tech last year.”

Congrats to Coach Walters & Purdue.

Number 28 Eric Morris is the winner.

So, do you really think our schedule last season is comparable to Washington State's? USC, Utah, Oregon, Oregon State and UCLA might disagree. After so many said LIttrell could win 9 or more games no problem because our schedule was so easy?

Well let's look at the defenses that his offense was going against.

USC-102

Utah-19

Oregon- 75

Oregon St-32

UCLA- 88

Obviously the PAC 12 is going to be better than C-USA or AAC. All I'm saying is we hired an OC that had a mediocre P5 offense. I hope it is an upgrade and he elevates the team. I'm just giving you the numbers.
