And if so by whom?  It seems like all of this NIL stuff is happening at an inopportune time.  We don't know if the new prez will be as supportive as Smatresk has been.  Also I know nothing of Chancellor Michael Willams and his thoughts on athletics either.

This is the most recent presidential search update that was sent to the faculty on May 1st. It sounds like the net is being cast pretty widely. I've bolded the part that strikes me as particularly interesting on a direction that the search might go.

Dear members of the University of North Texas community:

As Chair and Vice Chair of the UNT Presidential Search Advisory Committee, we would like to provide you with an update on the search for President Smatresk’s successor.

On March 1st, 4th, and 5th, the Search Advisory Committee conducted its listening sessions to solicit feedback from UNT stakeholders on the qualities and characteristics sought in UNT’s next President. The information gathered from these sessions subsequently played a critical role in guiding the development of the UNT Presidential Search Leadership Profile and search announcement. Ultimately, the Search Advisory Committee finalized the Leadership Profile and search announcement on March 15th and during the week of March 18th, the announcement was posted in the following venues:

  • American Association of State Colleges and Universities

  • Asians in Higher Education

  • Chronicle of Higher Education

  • Diverse: Issues in Higher Education

  • Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities

  • Inside Higher Education

  • Insight into Diversity

  • Hispanic Outlook

  • Journal of Blacks in Higher Education

  • Women in Higher Education

In addition to posting the search announcement, the Search Advisory Committee distributed the Leadership Profile widely to potential candidates within and outside of higher education across the United States to solicit their interest or nominations. Our search consultants also initiated their outreach and recruitment efforts concurrently. 

Given these activities, we are pleased to report that the Search Advisory Committee is now actively reviewing prospect files and engaging potential candidates for this wonderful leadership opportunity. It is our expectation that the committee will begin conducting preliminary interviews in the near future and in the coming weeks, we will provide additional updates on the status of the search.

      Kinky Friedman RIP

      None of the obituaries really stand out to me (do a search and take your pick), so I'll just link his wikipedia page. I had the privilege of seeing him perform at least twice; the two times I remember were first at an outdoor venue in downtown Austin in the late 90s, and the second time at "The Mucky Duck" club in Houston, which also was a book signing event. Kinky was a satirist, and definitely an independent. The lyrics of most of his songs can't be taken at face value; and are frequently shocking - on purpose. Listen to his music, read his books and Texas Monthly columns, and you might begin to understand him. He had some unforgettable one liners: "Vote for me, and I'll lower the speed limit from 55 to 54.99" (when the speed limit was 55, and he was running for JP in Kerrville; a "Jewish Joke") "If you're going to drink and drive, don't forget your car" "Are there any children in the audience? No? Good - because I wouldn't want to say 'douchebag' in front of a C-H-I-L-D" Sometime in the 90's, Kinky did a comedic music video of "Get Your Biscuits In The Oven" with good friend Ruth Buzzi (Laugh-In) and Richard Moll (Night Court). FWIW, Ruth Buzzi has lived north of Fort Worth for many years. The video has some scenes which might have been filmed in Fort Worth.

      I felt a twinge of optimism yesterday

      The sign of a good coach is can that coach evaluate his team from one season to the next and make correct adjustments in personnel and/or schemes and show improvement in lacking areas. Morris mentioned that after player turnover from last year that majority of players now are his recruits and the buy-in is better. It will be interesting to compare last years team to this years and find out.

      Coach Morris held a summer pool party for his players at his house

      Are you trying to justify it to me or to yourself?

      Should We Recruit in Japan?

      In all seriousness, as American Football grows its footprint around the world there really shouldn't be any limits to where we'll go get players. I don't keep up with basketball much but I think 2 of the first top 10 players came directly out of France in the NBA draft this year? SEC and many others have been grabbing Aussie rules guys for years to be punters and even more these days. There are even some guys who have made it to the NFL who played high school football in Mexico as well.
