I guess Christmas isn't over yet....

When was the last time a North Texas coach hired so much of his staff from the likes of Texas, Alabama, & USC? Never! What a great time to be a Mean Green fan! 

Yeah, it's scary to get excited since we've been let down so many times before, but this does feel different.

Seems like we are making a concerted effort to upgrade our relationship with the Texas High Schools.  Fix the perception of UNT as a second or third option to top tier recruits.

I think this is long over due.

why would someone leave USC for UNT?  I sure USC has the most advanced weight room and tons of money to spend on anything they need.  

Same reason Morris left an assistant position to become a head coach!

He is from the area and he wasn’t the head S&C guy at USC.

Even Todd Dodge got a guy from USC's S&C to be our S&C coach.  Remember Charr Gahagan?

Hoping he can get these guys up to the size and speed of our peers. Womack never could.

Are we still going to have a nutrition guy? @TheReal_jayD

Again you have a 5,000sq ft weight room for every sport! Nutrition guy is a must.
