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 :)

      What is the cost of the Mean Green Club this year? Games $80 bucks, parking $160. Parking cost more than game tickets gotta love it.

      UNT Athletic Center Update?

      Just a side note here. I went to try to get my tickets to the NIT game at Datcu stadium. You cant get there. I tried to take BB from both sides of the stadium and you cant get there because of road work. They are working on the service roads and BB. I mean it looks like a bombed out war zone. I tried going from the Denia side and cant get there. I think the only way to get to it is off the service road and turn in my the Alumni Center parking lot. I didn't want to go through the BB mess again. I do not know if they will make it for football season. It is really that bad. With Denton's project management it could take 10 years. That all we need to keep more people away.

      Furman (3/19/25)

      It all depends which UNT team shows up for the game. What this team needed and did not have was a James Reese type of player. Whenever the team hit a dry spell Reese always seemed to come through and help carry team during those periods. This team seems to all go cold and one time. The scoring droughts this season were insane. Got my tickets to the game.

      Why Abou left?

      I remember one game he has 30 pts and earns conference player of the week, the following game he has 0 points lol

      I see Oklahoma State is in the NIT this year. Wonder if Abou Ousmane will choose to play in it this time…
