In a year that requires immediate improvement on the defensive side of the ball, I think pulling in an entire staff and a handful of players who already know the system and one another is likely one of the most efficient ways to do it.

Looking forward to seeing if they can pull off the big defensive turnaround in 2025!

I’ll probably get downvoted, but that’s the way it should be in my opinion…for both players and coaches.  Finish out the season that you signed on for.

I have no problem with the assistants. OK, with Cassity sticking by his guys, I hope it doesn't take too much time away from his Portal recruiting.

Perhaps this could even solidify the defensive players coming with him. “I’ll stick with you if you stick with me. “

I see it as a BIG positive that Cassity had a chance to cull the staff he brought with him from SHSU.  It looks like he brought all the defensive side.  If he didn't like a work-effort or personality of someone he could have not invited them.  They know each other and will jell faster as a coaching unit than if all were new coaches to each other.

I was part of some of this dialogue in another Cassity thread.  Sorry for all the tagging!

Anyone know if Cassity is in Denton?  I heard he might be a consultant for the bowl game.  He’s probably at the practices, right?

I haven't heard anything official and the water cooler conversations said, he's probably going to follow through at SHSU through their bowl.

Well that would be poor negotiating on the part of our AD.

Almost a month of player evaluation? Installing the 4-2-5 now instead in spring? Remember coaches can’t work directly with the team outside of the official practice schedule during the offseason, only the S&C team. These next few weeks as the team prepares for its bowl would help him figure out who should stay and at which positions he most urgently needs to upgrade or add depth.

I doubt SHSU wants to keep an ex-coach around to possibly recruit their kids to his new program?   

I bet he got locked out of access as soon as he cleaned out his desk and resigned.

Even after he was hired as HC at Houston, Tom Herman coached out through his bowl game as OC at Ohio State.  For assistant coaches moving to other assistant positions, it's more common to finish out the season (and postseason) at their previous schools, although not universal.

I feel if KC Keeler (the HC) was staying at SHSU that Cassity might not be coaching in their Bowl.  But because ALL the coaches are leaving, nobody cares if players get recruited away from SHSU.

Here is an update on the SHSU HC search:  (several power program coordinators mentioned)...

Yeah, I think this might be a recruiting move on Cassity's part, and I bet he sold it to Morris/Mosely in that manner.   Otherwise, what's the positive for UNT?   We need him here filling roster gaps ASAP.   This might be the most efficient way.

Agree.  It's part of that COMMITMENT attribute that I mentioned earlier. 

I realize it has some impact on the future job, but those of us that have worked as a dedicated employee fully understand what it means to complete the task you are currently working before moving on. The exception being if the company has been screwing you over during your employment but that doesn't appear to be the case here.

This is some of the best news in a while.
I hope it doesn't end up with the standard UNT curse of failure.

It feels like our next logo should be Lucy holding the ball for Charlie Brown.

Eleven players from SHSU's defense are in the portal. Ten of them were in their 2-deep as recently as the Jacksonville State game. Really hope some of them are locks to come over because otherwise I'm not sure who they're recruiting by coaching their bowl.

Hopefully, this is a case where they can tell these players that we are here because we believe in you and then build on that relationship to get some of them to Denton

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
