Certainly changes my tune about him then. He's lucky he still had a home here in Denton. Maybe one day we'll be in a position talent wise to tell guys like that their services are no longer needed and they no longer have a scholarship at UNT.
someone mentioned he is Hedlund 2.0 and seems fairly accurate when you look at post season results, really not an impressive hire considering some of the D1 coaches in this region.
Hopefully he turns out great, but not a great hire. IMHO
Quite frankly, if these coaches don't like the current landscape, they can always drop down to one of the lower levels. They've benefited from the chase for $'s as much as anyone, but now players can negotiate and they're having to adjust or move on. This is why I think schools will be wise to start hiring the some of these former NFL/NBA guys as CEO Head coaches. They'll be used to the negotiations and what-not. That will benefit schools in the long run. I just don't see the model going backwards anytime soon.
