Big Name Head Coach On the Rise...

In light of the impact Deion Sanders has made at both Colorado and Jackson State. It has me thinking about other opportunities to bring in a big name coach on their way up. Here’s one name I’m keeping a close eye on and he’s currently coaching in our own backyard… Jason Witten.

Jason Witten just entered his 3rd year as the head coach at Argyle Liberty Christian. His first season at the helm resulted in a 2-8 record. Last season… 10-2. And this season they’ve started 2-0 with scores of 48-19 & 31-0. Coach Witten is on record saying that he enjoys the relationships built with young athletes… and I quote: "I'm reminded why I fell in love with this game." The future NFL Hall-of-Famer studied the game under Bill Parcels, Wade Phillips, and Jason Garrett so he knows a thing or two about being a head coach. Not too shabby if you ask me. 

Jason’s son, CJ Witten, is currently a junior and Captain on the team. Unlike his father, he chose defense and is a stud at linebacker. Last season as a sophomore CJ had 75 tackles and after two games this season, he has 15 total tackles (9 of them solo) with 1 sack. Hmm… I wonder where CJ plans to attend college two years from now? I’m sure Jason wants to coach CJ through his senior year but then what? Will he be ready to move onto the next level after four years of being the head coach in Argyle? Perhaps here at UNT, Coach Witten and CJ would be more akin to Deion and Sheduer Sanders and less like Todd & Riley Dodge. You have to admit it would make great headlines and would draw much-needed positive attention to UNT in the DFW Metroplex.

Mean Green Nation, barring a miraculous turnaround with Coach Morris, what do y’all think about Jason Witten becoming our next head coach in two years?

Don’t think there is that much time.

And Todd Dodge is one of the greatest coaches in the history of Texas HS Football.

Absolutely and unequivocally no more high school coaches to become our HC.

And Deion was the OC at Trinity Christian School before jumping to HC at Jackson State. That move worked out just fine for Jackson State.

Then let Jackson St give Whitten some coaching experience and hire him away.

If you believe Jason Witten and Deion Sanders have the same level of salesmanship and connections to woo recruits and assistant coaches then I may have a blinker fluid manufacturing business for you to invest in.

I’m seeing the board has very strong feelings about this. 😂

UAB hired Trent Dilfer this past offseason with only high school head coaching experience and the guy is 1-1 so far. Will be interesting to see how his tenure plays out compared to our beloved Eric Morris.

Prime has major swag and charisma which is huge in recruiting. Jason has none of that. I’m sure he’s a good guy but Deion could sell ice to an Eskimo.

I think it would be a disaster.

      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. 🤣🤣🤣

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      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.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
