The thing is....there will ALWAYS be a QB available. And why wouldn't a good QB want to come play for EM and resurrect his career? (EXACTLY what Chandler Morris did)

He hit on Chandler Rogers

He hit on Chandler Morris

I fully expect us to get a top notch QB in here for next year. 

Could be nice little strategy for the program...just fix the D a LITTLE and one of these seasons could be special.

 

** I'll add**

And we can't think "oh man we got the next Mason Fine that's gonna bleed green and my kid will look up to him and want to be like this Mean Green legend." (which is exactly what my kids did with Mason Fine)

They're hired guns to come in here and see if they can win. Then we do it all over again the next season. If we get a good QB in here, he will not be here more than a year. Just have to accept it.

Johnny Quinn bleeds green and talks about UNT all the time in his career. There's pride there. Those days are gone....

I think you could theoretically still find that guy but the situation has to be absolutely perfect. The player would have to have a Mason Fine/Seth Littrell relationship and probably grew up a Mean Green fan. But even then, a huge maybe.

Money talks.   Loyalty often takes a backseat when you're talking about the kinds of money QBs make now in the new NIL landscape.    The Mason Fine days are over unless NT stumbles upon a T Boone or Uncle Phil.  It is what it is.

Yeah I think you may be right but it is kindof a depressing thing to me.

Well yeah. That’s why I said it would have to be the perfect conditions and even then it’s a massive maybe. 
 

The reality is you’re right. But can never rule out an exception.

I feel like Rod Brown could have easily gone somewhere else for his senior season.    I'm glad he didn't, as I've really enjoyed watching him play in Green.   

So yeah, exceptions are definitely there... but I'm not so sure about QB exceptions, those would be more like Unicorns.   I will say though, if Jimerson comes in and balls out, his height may give P5 schools pause, and NT may be able to back up a mini Brinks truck to keep him from going to a richer G5 school.  🤞

It'd be nice if #3 was actually winning on the field against decent teams...but here we are

Welcome transfers to the UNT Temp Agency.....

Heisman finalists: Hunter on his second school, Gabriel on his third school, Ward on his third school. Ironically, Jeanty is the exception and only one who's spent his entire career at a G5.

We're not alone in this. It's just today's world.

I don't think they're completely gone. We'll still get some football and basketball stars who love the place enough to commit to it for multiple seasons. They'll just be exceedingly rare and as fans we need to appreciate them.

When Chandler Rogers and the other four-school portal chasers look back on their college careers in the future, will the diehard fans at their schools look back on them? Part of the appeal of playing is the money, no doubt, but another part is the glory of the game. If Rogers had stayed he could've left UNT as the fifth- or fourth-place QB in total passing yards in only two seasons.

I really think it depends on if QB can get a significant raise here staying with a Mean Green roster that looks like it could have a “Boise State” like season.  Chances are slim you going to keep from going to the biggest brands in P4 that is virtually promising a starting role without a 5-star QB already on the roster.   But I believe you can keep them from going to mid-tier and bottom-tier P4 programs if we retain the coaches he likes, along with a raise, and roster.  SMU spends big money but even if they spent 35% less than they currently do their starting QB isn’t transferring to a place like Vandy, Michigan State, Kentucky or Purdue just to lead rosters that have significant disadvantages for most of their conference games.

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      I find it curious how people always want to point out the high-paid coaches when they're talking about how coaches are, but they seem to want to forget what a lot of these coaches go through to get up in positions. You look around a lot of the assistant coaches, and they've been at five or more schools (some many more) working their way up. And when's the last time you saw a player get fired during the season and told not to come back, no matter how badly they screwed something up. So again, you can say that coaches make all the money, and people talk about them being greedy, but with all due respect, when you have college players hitting the portal every year, their level of greed is just as high, if not higher than the coaches. I am all for paying all the players but then letting them cover their expenses, and even though many of you will not agree with it, I 100% believe there should be no more student fees for any university that is paying players. The students should not have to put out money to compensate athletes if there's enough money in athletics to pay players.

      Defensive assistants

      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

      Defensive assistants

      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.

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      😂. Every time I read something I am completely perplexed by the pearl clutching and bitching about NIL. Jimmy Johnson made 1 million per year and settled for 3.9 million as a back to back Super Bowl Champion Head Coach. That is high class garbage take when looking at Jimbo Fisher. Texas A&M significantly better without him coaching but walks away with money Jimmy Johnson only dreamed of. How about some of these coaches and Administrators who have been taking far more value out of the system than they generated payback some of that money? Ironic NIL became a thing the same year Fisher signed a 10 year $95 million contract. Seems to so many everyone is cool for everybody in college football except the players being mercenaries. Now if you want put 50% of all players NIL income into a collective pot distributed to all players (on all FBS level teams) that actually record snaps (minutes) in games, then let’s discuss. These guys aren’t playing against air. https://www.tampabay.com/archive/1994/03/30/johnson-leaves-cowboys/
