This is a very surprising pick.  Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. 

Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT?  A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level.  Is NT cost cutting?

I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach.  However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.

Yeah it seemed like cost cutting or a favor type of hire to me.

So have you guys actually looked into it when you say cost savings; so we're paying him less than the previous coach? Did you take time to check it before you said we were cost saving?Did you look into this coach and his background, or is it typical of so many on here that we're just complaining to complain?

Did you not notice the question mark?  I love to complain, or question why actions were taken.  

By the way, I did check the internet and found basically nothing including his age.  How else would I know his winning percentage.  

Instead of complaining about what someone else posts, why not enlighten us with your reaction to the hire.

Don't know enough about the man to make a comment. Hopefully the AD picked a winner.

someone mentioned he is Hedlund 2.0 and seems fairly accurate when you look at post season results, really not an impressive hire considering some of the D1 coaches in this region. 

Hopefully he turns out great, but not a great hire. IMHO

He was an assistant at UCLA under a Hall of Fame coach before his 20 years in Mesa.

He was very successful at Colorado Mesa.   23-6 in 2024, 24-5 in 2023, and many other 20-win seasons...

      Chandler UVA???

      Were we really more negative about Rogers leaving? Sorry, I don't see what @Cooley sees, but maybe I have forgotten some after a year. Regarding some collective donor being pissed Poffenberger isn't starting next year, that's your gamble when you donate to a collective. I pray that they aren't being promised a starting job as it should always go to the most talented, deserving young man.

      Recognition: Thanks MG Teams

      I dont respond much, but I read your posts. Easy for people to point out problems, a loss, holes in defense or missed buckets, etc. Yet, the teams have really stepped up lately. We may have lost a few but i see the hustle and grit. And that impresses me. Ladies BBall broke down in 4th Q, but found a way to win against Memphis. Playing well in the AAC thus far. 11-4 and 3-0 in conf. looks nice. Mens BBall lost to Memphis, but played with heart. Sissoko, Newell and Walker in particular. Great effort. I also think Floyd managed the game, solid performance at the point. Football - I didnt know what to expect in the bowl game. Great effort. I am in Austin and wearing the logo on consistent basis. received a lot of input from others after that game. Stinks to come close and lose, same as with the last Boise game in Frisco. But proud of the team. So THANKS MEAN GREEN !!! Looking forward to Soccer, Softball and Diving/Swimming, Golf, etc.

      Attendance question

      Here's my take on the First Responders Bowl. * I thought they did a fantastic job honoring first responders from all lines of work throughout the game. Very impressive presentation for people that deserve to be recognized. * Location isn't terrible and Ford Stadium is fine, but I had to shower four times to remove the SMU stench. * Concessions were pretty good although it would have been nice to know if advance that they were not accepting cash. * Would have been nice to have First Responder Bowl souvenir cups instead of the stupid "Pony Up" cups. Nobody's taking those home. * Nice taking the train, walking over and then getting out quickly. This was managed well by whoever is in charge of getting people from the station safely across Central Expressway. * In spite of all of the above, $100 plus for sideline seats to this bowl/matchup was ridiculous.

      Attendance question

      The anecdotal evidence I heard from people was that it was "too expensive" and "not an impressive matchup" or "we are just going to lose"

      Chandler Rogers on the move again

      I generally share this sentiment but it was actually new news this time. And you haven't moved on from UNT rejecting your admissions application 35 years ago, yet they still let you post.
