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.

      Just bought my official whining license :)

      i believe it is still a 300 total donation, or more, in order to get the parking pass. that is on top of the cost of the seats. i discovered that i don't care where i sit and rarely say for the whole game, so i went cheap and grabbed the random 80 seat and paid for parking up front. made sense to me.

      North Texas accepts NIT bid to make 4th consecutive appearance

      For the fourth consecutive year, the North Texas men’s basketball team (24-8, 14-4 American Athletic Conference) accepted a bid to the National Invitational Tournament. As the No. 2 seed in the Dallas region, the Mean Green will host a home game against Furman (25-9, 13-3 Southern Conference) on March 19. The team received its invitation after its 66-56 March 15 AAC semifinals loss to UAB. Three days removed from the UAB loss, head coach Ross Hodge said the team took time in its meeting to talk on fully refocusing on the NIT. “These guys were all in on wanting to play again,” Hodge said. “They love playing basketball. They love each other. They’re human beings so obviously there’s a disappointment level associated with not being able to reach a goal you set.” Senior guard Jasper Floyd said the team needed to turn the page quickly after failing to reach its season-long goal of winning the conference championship. “Because of the work that we put in starting last summer, we were confident in our abilities to go and as a group win the American Conference Championships,” Floyd said. “But we weren’t able to do that and that was kind of shocking to us. [...] We’ve been blessed with another opportunity.” In its previous three NIT appearances, North Texas has gone a combined 7-2 in the tournament and won the championship in the 2022-2023 season. read more: https://www.ntdaily.com/sports/north-texas-accepts-nit-bid-to-make-4th-consecutive-appearance-blessed-with-another-opportunity/article_943b2ea4-036d-11f0-bd0a-f3c54ceef5f5.html

      Furman basketball vs. North Texas. How to watch, what to know about NIT first-round game

      How Furman basketball made the NIT The Paladins won six of their last seven games. They reached the Southern Conference tournament championship game, but lost to Wofford and missed a chance to earn an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament Senior guard PJay Smith leads the Paladins in scoring, averaging 18 points per game. Alongside him is graduate student Nick Anderson, a guard who averaged 14.7 points per game and was a third-team All-SoCon selection. MORE: NIT 2025: Printable bracket, TV schedule, matchups for first round The most notable wins for the Paladins were against Belmont, Tulane, Princeton, three victories over Samford and a postseason victory over SoCon regular-season champion Chattanooga. This season’s 25 wins tied for second most in program history, behind only the school’s 28 wins in 2023. read more: https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/sports/college/2025/03/17/furman-basketball-north-texas-nit-how-to-watch-what-to-know/82488097007/
