I'm all for it. Maybe we could get him as the offensive coordinator... Mean Joe Greene as the Defensive coordinator or head coach. Can you say hello massive media attention?

Off topic... but doesn't the LAMO band sound a lot better than ours?

Good to have Erric back in Fouts again. This web page states that he returned to UNT to get his degree after retiring from the NFL and works as a fitness and personal trainer.

He's one of the stars of the team from my years at UNT as a student. It's strange that a running back who never got 1,000 at North Texas managed the feat in the NFL.

He said that he would like to coach and get into recruiting.

If you listened carefully he mentioned he belongs HERE, Coaching. Dunno if I'm for handing over the buick keys to him yet, but an OC position should be opening soon in my opinion.

Whaaaat? I thought our band out did them by far.

ULM's band sounded terrible. They were loud, but they sounded awful. I heard them

playing the same songs we did and all they did was just play louder. Their unis are nasty, and I think it's funny that they have an obese cheerleader.

I'm always a bit suspicious when someone does self-promoting, when they were just being interviewed as a courtesy to a returning former player/alumni.

Where has this guy done any coaching? Being a personal trainer doesn't make you a good coach. If he wants to coach at the college level, he needs to enroll in graduate courses and be a graduate assistant, just like the Chris Hurds and Tommy Harrisons of the world.

As I recall, Eric led the Southland Conference in fumbles his senior year in 1990. But he finished with 1,001 yards for the season. Considering that we were a passing team I suppose that's not too bad.

He played in the League and has been exposed to the best coaches football has to offer. That experience alone is worth more than anything offered in graduate school.

Acutally, it does not. Otherwise Joe Greene would have been a coach long ago.

Colleges are still about education.

That must be why Flannigan isour offensive coordinator; since he spent 7 years at SMU.

In spite of his "lack of formal training", I would be more than willing to take a chance on someone who wants to be UNT. Start him off as the running backs coach; and see where he goes.

FYI, Mean Joe has been a coach for years. He's been an NFL assistant defensive coach for the Dolphins and Cardinals. Currenly he's a special assistant, i.e. scout for the Steelers.

And he has been repeated rejected for consideration at the college level.

Do low-level college assistant coaches have to teach classes? If so, the lack of a degree would surely prevent them from getting the job. (Note that Pegram went back and got his, so it isn't a problem in his case.)

Pegram should definitely get an interview at UNT for a position like running backs coach or weight-training specialist. His NFL experience speaks to the kind of talent and determination you need in college players, and it would be great to have recruits shake the hand of a guy wearing a Super Bowl ring.

I don't think it was inappropriate for him to express an interest in coaching at UNT. George Dunham asked him if he had any interest in that area, and it was only a small part of the interview.

Not better as much as they played more often and louder...I guess our band was cold or something...

and if a high profile football alum wants to work with our team by gosh you make room...

      Not thrilled about playing State

      Dude flunked out at UNT and ran back home to his mom in Houston and flunked out again, and trolls the UNT message board trying to act big time, because he's been run off the Houston board. Imagine how big of a douche you have to be that other UH fans can't even stand you.

      Nope from the beginning of this (end of College Football Alliance). It has all been about cut throat capitalism with the schools competing as individual business that happen to operate sports teams connected to academic institutions. Come on, you have Cal and Stanford in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The NFL stopped that madness as soon as they added franchises in geographic locations to fix that mess (Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals). College Football in comparison is going backwards. Imagine if the Los Angeles Rams and 49ers were moved to the NFC East because they were big markets like New York. 🤣. The same reason that NIL is a mess; not paying players will always be more profitable if your organization doesn't have to pay them directly and they aren't employees with rights and access to collective bargaining (Look up stories on the problems with the Gig Economy ie Uber, Grubhub and etc.) They should roll everything back to being in line with salaries for everyone in College Athletics being on par with academic administrators, professors and the players as amateurs getting scholarships and regional conferences. But we all know that all those people will not agree to take massive pay cuts (excluding the athletes because you don't need them to agree because the structure would be self evident the teams are not operating as if they are seeking profit). In this every conference/program for themselves model nobody has the desire or power to fix things on a macro level. And any entity that does will immediately be sued or have to allow for some sort of collective bargaining. 🤷🏽‍♂️
