Hmm,
This couldn't have been a big pay raise, right?  And he's not really jumping to an on-field position, so it's essentially a lateral move...   I bet Morris could have found the difference between what TXSt was offering if he felt Coach O was instrumental to our success.    Wonder who the new guy will be?

I don't know if this is really that big of a loss.  I was excited when he came on board, but I don't think the steak was as good as the sizzle.

Ever see the guy? He's humongous. Once saw him tweet, that he had just gotten home. (This was in May). And that he was gonna stay in his truck for 15 or so minutes....because he was dreading going up to his apartment on the 3rd floor. 

So good for Bobcat High. They can have his initials on their unis.......when he cacks.

Its definitely a promotion and pay raise. In today's college football landscape, the head coach and GM decide who the team is going to recruit/sign and its the Director of Recruiting's job to oversee the recruitment of the players chosen by the coach and GM.

Not so sure about that.  Director of recruiting to general manager is certainly a jump up status-wise, and probably pay-wise.

Is that guy George Matsakis for us?    I don't even know who that is or what he does.
George made $91k last year while Coach O made $65k, so yeah, definitely a bump in pay.   

Looks like I'm wrong on this one, and Coach O took a nice opportunity.   Best of luck to him!

Is it lateral if:

  • TX State goes to the PAC-Reboot with one other AAC Team that isn't us
  • Memphis and USF go to the ACC
  • UTEP is in Mountain West
  • We're suddenly playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State in a combined AAC-USA?

That's nightmare fuel for me, and seems entirely possible if Mosley keeps on Mosleying along with status quo.

The San Marcos Wing Stop franchisee has to be happy about this.

That's not a shot at him, Coach O always tweets about Wing Stop lol.

He is very connected to DFW and helped bring a lot of HS kids here. However, the game is changing with the portal and NIL.

Was told by a wise guy whose football knowledge I respect that O would have been more valuable to us prior to NIL.  That said, he worked hard for us and I do wish him and his family well. GMG

High King is just glad his former Cougie High basketball team has come a long way since their pathetic 2015 and prior form.  Congrats on the bankrolling from a sole billionaire.  Even though you did absolutely nothing to have deserved it in the first place.  It merely fell into your lap.

They coach who single-handedly revived a bad D1 basketball program who happened to be unfairly blackballed had his show cause coming to an end and was coaching the Rockets. 

 

It really was a perfect storm.

      Would be a soph. portal transfer. Right now, we have 0 point guards for 25-26. I really liked the kid but many times ego gets in the way of making the right decision. Probably would have bumped Floyd from the starting spot or at least taken some minutes. Might have been a defensive liability but his play making ability would compensate. Reminds me of a poor man's Mark Price. (who they listed as 5-11 or 6-0) I think Mason and Cotton would have averaged 17 ppg. as freshmen as well at Central Arkansas.

      Crown vs NIT

      Teams all over the NET get in every year. Your chances are better in the 40s than 60s where we are now. Had we not dropped those games, we'd likely have finished in the 30s with a better resume than we had at 38 a few years back when we were in CUSA.

      Those teams have to have someone to beat in the first round. Good luck to them, Tulane looked pretty good against Memphis.

      It's definitely a black eye for the NIT.

      Yes, college men's basketball does have a concept similar to a "redshirt," where players can sit out a season to retain eligibility, but it's not as flexible as in football. Here's a breakdown of the redshirt concept in college basketball: Not an Official NCAA Term: While the term "redshirt" is commonly used, it's not an official term used by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Retaining Eligibility: A redshirt season allows a player to sit out a season and still maintain their four-year eligibility for future seasons. No Game Participation: In college basketball, a player cannot participate in any game (regular season or postseason) and still be eligible for a redshirt. Medical Redshirt: There is a medical redshirt option, where a player can be granted an extra year of eligibility if they suffer a season-ending injury or illness before the midpoint of the season.
