I imagine you were being funny but it would be a really good idea to ask Zach if he has anyone with experience that he would recommend.

The ship already sunk….where have you been lately?

Honestly and no sarcasm here at all.  I love the fact that a 5-7 record with most losses by less than 7 points means the ship has sunk.  
 

As a former coach once told me, “I’ll never apologize for having high expectations.”

The ship is sinking because our LB coach is taking the same job at Iowa St?  I didn’t realize the LB coach was such a valuable commodity.

In any business if you hire the right person they are going to get what they consider to be better job opportunities. However if you have personnel who have hit a ceiling in your organization and seem stuck then you might have a problem. People moving up should not be a concern.

Look around and find a FCS DC who has been successful. Go after him, and hopefully, he will bring a few players.

We did try that with an oc under Littrell and it led to terrible results.

It does feel a little strange, but going from AAC to a Big 12 is a step up. IIRC, he wasn’t a coach at Iowa St.   Wish he stuck around for continuity.  Interested to see who we bring in. 

He's wishing a friend good luck. You never told someone that you work with that left for another job that you wish them luck?

yeah, to them directly. Not quite the same as going public with triple fire emojis and “MAKING MOVES” when the guy is moving to a marginally more successful competitor. Not a big deal. Just weird…. But I don’t pretend to fully grasp the whole Coach O social media aura

Of course I would wish them well.  This felt a bit different. Not trashing on anyone and I’m not saying a move to a Big 12 position isn’t a big deal for Kratch. I wish him well, too.

I agree here. 
When you're trying to recruit for one school, your entire presence (especially, in coach O's case, the social media presence that makes you) should make it seem like that school is the only school that matters & it cannot get any better than it is here.
Your social media presence should not indicate that going from UNT to IASt is a " 🔥 🔥 move".   Because football players all over DFW see this sentiment (whether NT is recruiting them or not)... that's how big Coach O's Social Media presence is.

I understand Kratch leaving is a continuity issue, but will he really be missed? He was a first time coach here and our LBs were not exactly a strength here. They seemed too slow to me, seemed to have trouble diagnosing plays, and couldn't shed blocks. That's just me. We were last in defense in all of FBS so is this really a big loss? I am no football guru, but this just doesn't seem that bad to me.

      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
