North Texas

Hits: RBs Patrick Cobbs and Kevin Galbreath finished first and third in UNT history in career rushing yards with 4,050 and 2,417 yards. TE Andy Blount, DE Adrian Awasom, DE Darrell Daniels, RS Ja'Mel Branch and DB Markeith Knowlton also earned all-conference honors.

Misses: UNT signed 10 linemen, but few panned out. Jason May and Weston Thaggard contributed on offense, while Chris Miller started one season on the defensive line. RB Roy Bishop was a state top 100 recruit who never made a major impact.

Epilogue: UNT picked up several players who contributed to its four-year reign as Sun Belt Conference champions. Cobbs, Galbreath and Awasom are among the Mean Green's all-time best, while QB Andrew Smith led UNT to a New Orleans Bowl win in 2002.

      Offensive Woes

      People loved Leach and they watched him raise Tech up to #2 that one miraculous time. But that system is only meant to compete over time against teams with less talent on defense. Whenever it faces ANYONE with legitimated defensive talent or coaching, it almost always loses. Tech, Wazzu, and MSU were always the same thing under Leach. But people adored Leach’s quirkiness and randomness, so he got a pass. These Leach disciples aren’t ever gonna win anything of note. And I completely blame Leach for his influence on turning TX HS football into glorified 7-on-7. Today, linemen and defense are hardly produced at any decent level in this state. Why? Because this crap doesn’t condone hitting in practice or focusing on defense. Instead, we get basketball scores for the winning teams.

      2025 DC Wish List

      I would like to follow the Indiana model of recent success with Cignetti from James Madison. Hire a successful DC that has a winning environment and bring a bunch of his defense with him.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      no doubt. I think we could end up with a sneaky tough non-con...though not contributing that will be this current Minnesota team as Yale is currently doing the exact same thing we did

      We’d Love To Have You

      You’d be surprised how many people go to every football game but rarely make it to the basketball games. There is a large and loud contingent of fans that want a defensive minded coach. Well.. there’s one right across I35 and I’d bet he would love to have another 250-500 fans a game.
