Well if they went to another school before for 2-3 years, it's pretty easy.

if he was a school for 2-3 yrs in the same state, maybe, but Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas all have different requirements. Is he actually graduating?

For the record, Chandler Rogers was in college for 4 years before coming here. Well, technically 3.5 and by the end of this school year he will have been here for 1.5.

That assumes he will not transfer out at the break.

How are players coming to a school and graduating in one year? I thought there were a minimum number of hours required at a university to graduate from that university?

I think a lot of it has to do with high school kids entering college as a sophomore or sometimes even a junior.  Lots of dual credit classes etc.  My friends daughter had her associates degree before she graduated high school.

Many colleges require a minimum number of hours to be completed at the institution to receive a degree.  The number is typically about 30 or the equivalent of two full time semesters.

Thank you. Rogers has most likely completed 30 hours since he arrived before last spring.

I hope all of the portal guys leave at the semester. I really hope we aren't paying their tuition and room/board in the Spring. That's fine if they have decided to move on but we shouldn't have any obligation to continue to pay their way. Let their new school foot the bill. If it was our decision to ask them to move on, then we should honor our end of the deal and pay for them through the Spring.

Several people missed the main point of your post.

I found these general requirements:

UNT Residency Requirement

  • A major of at least 24 semester hours. At least 12 hours of advanced work (3000/4000 level) in the major must be earned at UNT (except for the BAAS degree).
  • A minimum of 36 semester hours of advanced work, 24 of which must be completed at UNT. Many degrees at UNT require 42 advanced hours, see the college/school degree requirements of your major in the catalog for details. A lower level course that, when transferred, is determined to be equivalent to a UNT upper-level course does not satisfy the requirement of advanced hours. 
  • Twenty-five percent of the university minimum of 120 semester hours (i.e., 30 hours) must be earned in residence at UNT.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.
