When will we get the announcement that SL won't be retained?

southsideguy · September 17, 2022

I say after the UTSA slaughter a move will have to be taken. They will run up the score because of last years game.

I wonder how it all works? Do agents make phone calls when team is a disaster and the coach's career will be ending at their present school. Or does the AD call coaches they have an interest in? I don't know how it works.

At this point, I'm not sure what it will take.

I'd say at the end of the season. There's not a lot to gain by doing it now.

southsideguy · September 17, 2022

I don't know how they can keep him around any longer, watch the attendance at Apogee may be a ghost town by the end of the season.

Of course there is. It's a statement decision. There's not ANYTHING to gain by keeping him on for no reason at all.

southsideguy · September 17, 2022

What do we gain by him roaming the sidelines?

No kid worth a damn is gonna sign with UNT if it’s not done soon!

You went down this road before, and I think some people laid down a solid rebuttal. Are you gonna stay on this hill, or join the rest of us?

If the loses start pilling up it’s just a bad deal for everyone. Recruiting suffers, the coaches don’t care as much, etc. It’s not like you can fire the whole staff. I feel for the kids in this situation.

I don’t think you even get a head start in the search for the next coach.

As long as he acts professionally he will be here till the end of the season.

southsideguy · September 18, 2022

You better have a hired a coach the day after he is fired. We will need some do the recruiting, portal transfers and try to retain any good players we have on the team. I would start over in the secondary.

Venson · September 18, 2022

At this point, we are terrible. We are losing recruits as we speak. I saw a team give up today so to me they are lost. Since the ship is going down, we may as well bring in a new one and start all over. Sure there will be growing pains, but at least we can start with a solid foundation if we hire the right guy.

The key question is the right guy?

It’s going to be a ghost town regardless

IMO the immediate need is simply new blood. Even if the hire is not in front of us, find an interim and get rid of everyone else. Let these players know that we are serious about winning and we care about them.

2020 Sucks · September 18, 2022

The rest of the season at apogee will be great! I’ll be able to sit on the 50 in the lower section in a chair back! No concession lines and no need to stay past halftime!

Don't worry about trying to overpay for a name.

Hire a coach who has developed teams as a HC at the G5 or FCS level. Important that he can he recruit transfers.

southsideguy · September 18, 2022

He also needs to be a little bit of snake oil salesperson. We need a coach who can fire up the players and fans. I rather stay in CUSA if SL is retained. He is back next year I won't be.
