Ray Mendoza would be an improvement at DC.

How does a coaching staff show up to the season this unprepared?  How does an AD allow a coaching staff show up to the season this unprepared?

I posted this in another thread this morning. It's reported Patterson stepped away from UT to spend more time with family. He's down the road in Fort Worth! Go get him!

If he's in FW, was he ever really around UT?

When Todd Dodge was here there were a good many Southlake residents  that came to the game just to see him.  Can you imagine how many Ft Worth people would come to Denton to watch Gary Patterson ?

Patterson has been tweeting pics of himself tailgating at TCU games since W1 saying it's the first time he's done it in decades.  I have a hard time seeing him walking away from retirement and TCU tailgates.  He truly loves the Frogs despite how they treated him at the end.

Honestly they may ask for him back with how they looked the last two weeks.

I read he has stepped away from UT. Let him fix our defense and then be the next coach in waiting. 

 

The ding on Patterson in his last few years at TCU was that he didn't like to recruit and has publicly been outspoken against the transfer portal.  TCU went and got Dykes specifically because he was a heavy recruiter and loved the transfer portal.

Someone should at least knock on the door and talk to Patterson.  The answer is always no unless you ask.

As what, defensive coordinator?  Special assistant?  Something along those lines I am all for.

He can't be a head coach unless he is willing to recruit and especially recruit the portal, something TCU fans said he would not do.

Yes, as a consultant.  Have him come in and evaluate what the F is going on and provide his feedback.  AD needs to know if this is a legit FBS coaching staff or if they are as outmatched as they appear.

Special assistant. Honestly wouldn't even care if he still went to TCU tailgates as long as it didn't conflict with our games.

We don't need him to recruit since we've got the "Receipt Bringer" handling that.

I believe we have more coaches on staff who can recruit than ever before, at the same time we've invested in the staff behind the scenes for positive results. What we haven't done to my knowledge is figure out our NIL. I believe the first collective folded and it's being managed by a third party now if I'm not wrong. That has to be a part of the equation moving forward.

If we had made this investment in recruiting staff a decade ago with the old rules I'm sure we would have a top 60 class right now but present day college football is pay to play. Like it or not this is the business of talent acquisition and retention, 365 days a year, it's no longer about finding the right fit for your system to develop 3+ years. In my opinion you could trim three or four positions from the recruiting staff and offer ten portal guys 20k a year each. 

As for Gary Patterson, sure, doubt it would ever happen in any capacity though.

Assistant HC and DC.  With this supposedly good recruiting staff he would not have to spend a lot of energy recruiting.  Maybe evaluate having a transfer portal scout/coordinator/evaluator in addition to regular recruiting staff.

Problem is, we had a talented roster last year that is being wasted now. Doesn't matter how well you recruit if you can't teach

I love the idea of bringing in someone like Patterson as some kind of special assistant to the head coach. Texas State did that with David Bailiff, former HFC there and at Rice. I think these young coaches would benefit from and elder statesman having his pulse on the program.

Last year with Seth, there were complaints that we did not have the talent to compete in the American. The complaint is that we have the talent and are not utilizing it. I'm not saying Morris has not started very poorly, but we need to get together on the talent level at some point.

If something like this were to happen (and I don't think it will), I could see Morris reaching out to PB. He's familiar with many of the players and has the experience to work with different schemes.

No money.

Really?  What are we getting from the AAC from media rights?  Whatever it is, it is more than the $2.50 we were getting in CUSA.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.
