And implementing the stack was pouring gasoline all over it. 

 

As they say about hindsight ....

It is clear now that while Morris might have presented a good plan, his estimations for defense were completely missed. The question becomes, can he adjust and admit that his defensive vision was wrong? My concern is that the coaches from the Leach Tree have very little success when it comes to the defensive side of the ball.

With three moral victories in a row, UNT just became moral bowl eligible.

But remember the players like them and it motivates them. Just think how poorly they might perform if they weren't wearing black

Terrible. This defense is just terrible. Everything about what Caponi is doing is terrible. And Morris is just letting Caponi run it into the ground.

Hardly hindsight. 

We don't have the horses for this D. We can't recruit the horses it requires.

Honest question. Should Jared have put his foot down when Morris wanted to hire a DC with no coordinator experience, or do you let the new HC hire who he wants?

Hell no. If you feel a need to tell someone who supervises people that they can or can’t hire someone, you need to fire the supervisor.

You can't do that as an AD. Sets a terrible precedent. The AD has to hire people that you trust to make the right decisions in hirings AND firings. And if they prove that they can't, have to fire the hire.

I think you let the HC hire who he wants (and can get) but that also means the HC can't deflect the criticism for the results.

I am confused by this response. You're saying that an AD should have no say in who a new head coach hires as his top assistants?

Agree and disagree; there is no question we don't have the right players, but if you model after Iowa State, they have proven you don't need the highest-rated player but players that fit the system.

However, despite the late start, we did a poor job trying to add transfers (remember, we left a few spots open).

I’m not saying no say, but at the end of the day, you have to let them make the hire they think is best.

Using his same scenario - If you are a "manager" and don't take a role in the key people your "supervisor" hires, you are probably not much of a "manager".

K-State is having some success running it without blue chip athletes too.

Have to agree to disagree with you here, Lurker. It's one thing if he wanted to bring in a proven coach, but a new to FBS coach hiring coordinators without experience is a risk that should have been avoided.

Did espn have the side view of that reviewed touchdown?  There was a view in stadium that seemed obvious he was down. Am I wrong?

The worst part is they never made the call on the field. They just let the NutsaCK band determine it was a touchdown.

If you're an AD bringing in a big name with a proven track record, sure you leave them alone.

If you're bringing in a one-year PAC-12 offensive coordinator who has four years as head coach at Incarnate Word, you get involved in their staffing decisions.

The announcers are praising UNT for going for two to be down by 9 because that meant giving up another fourth quarter touchdown would mean we're within two scores.

I think our strategies to win wouldn't include giving up another touchdown, but I guess I should be happy we got some praise.

Thats absolutely correct 

 

if the AD can’t hire a coach that can hire the right staff then fire the AD.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
