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!

Pointed out his bs antics throughout his tenure, as well as his body. Yeah, I'm body shaming per the role. I want discipline and work ethic potentially walking into the home of recruits, not that. Nooooooooow people want to point out, too.

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.

      Why Abou left?

      Had a 42 point 14 rebound game his rookie year and 27 point 9 rebound 8 assists in a game last year, both for Grizzlies. Doesn't seem to get many opportunities though. My only guess is his size combined with playing style isn't what the NBA wants right now.

      Crown vs NIT

      NIL isn't everything. Example: "But Calhoun’s loyalty comes with higher expectations. With USU making the move to the Pac-12 in 2026, he wants his salary in the top four of the league. He expects his assistant coaching pool to mirror that. He also wants his NIL budget to be in the top four. Right now, it sits at sixth in the Mountain West. USU has roughly $700,000 to $800,000 a year, he said. But that is significantly behind San Diego State, which can run from $2 to $4 million, he said."

      WVU to Investigate NCAA and Tournament Selection Committee

      Based on Win/Loss or based on Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 Win/Loss? Call me crazy, but I don’t remember Q1, Q1A, Q2, Q3, and Q4 from years past. Was Memphis a Q1 win for us last year? What Q were we last year? The year before? I sure don’t remember discussing our need for a Q whatever win last season. We just knew Fordham was a bad loss based on their record. Someone clue me in. 2017-2018 - Yikes

      Mean Green Host Furman In NIT First Round

      DENTON – The UNT men’s basketball team hosts Furman for a National Invitation Tournament first round matchup at the Super Pit Wednesday. The Mean Green (24-8) and the Paladins (25-9) are scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and on ESPN+. Tickets to Wednesday night’s game can be purchased here. North Texas, the 2023 NIT champions, are in the 32-team national postseason tournament for a fourth straight year. They have the longest active streak and are aiming to become just the fourth team ever to win two NIT titles in three years or less. The tournament began in 1938. UNT, who is the No. 2 seed in the NIT Dallas region this year, has won at least one national postseason tournament game in each of the previous four years. They are just one of seven programs in the nation who can say that. Wednesday they will face a Furman team who has won 25 games this season, finished fifth in the SoCon standings and reached the conference tournament championship game. The Paladins earned an at-large bid into this year’s NIT. They are led by Bob Richey who is in his eighth full season as their head coach. He has led Furman to six 20-win seasons and reached the 2023 NCAA Tournament where they upset Virginia in the first round. This is the second time he’s led Furman to the NIT. Wednesday will be the first time these two teams have ever met. It will be the first time North Texas has faced an opponent who is an ac­tive member of the SoCon since the 2018 CBI when the Mean Green beat Mercer 96-67 in the quarterfinal round. UNT went on to win the 2018 CBI championship. It was Ross Hodge’s first season as an assistant coach at UNT under then first-year Mean Green head coach Grant McCasland A win Wednesday for the Mean Green advances them to the second round where they would host the winner of Arkansas State and Saint Louis on either Saturday or Sunday. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
