I think when he was OC at A$M he was asked if he would be interested in the NT job, and he said no thanks.

Kragthorpe was on the staff at North Texas - back in 1994-1995.

Following his four-year stint at NAU, Kragthorpe became the offensive coordinator at North Texas in 1994, spending two years with the Mean Green. At North Texas, he coordinated an offense that led the conference in total offense. While there, he coached quarterback Mitch Maher who broke single-season school records for passing yards and total offense. After two seasons, he then moved to Boston College where he spent the 1996 season as quarterback coach, coaching current NFL signal-caller Matt Hasselbeck.

Speaking of BC, why not Flutie for no logical reason?

I'm sure his experience in the metroplex last night impressed him enough to want to join this local college football hotbed....

Our best selling point? A 100% certifiable lack of Craig James. Top that, ESPN.

On a serious note, BC is not a bad program to emulate. Always seem to have had a good coach one way or another, always seems to be a top 20 team at the end of the year, wins bowl games, etc. They also have great academics and made their ACC move mostly to join a more complete (athletics and academics) conference. They never have the best talent and always seem to win more than they look like they should on paper.

Kragthorpe wouldn't leave being head coach in CUSA to be head coach in the SunBelt. Our conference hurts us as bad as our stadium.

I'd also rather have a more "name" coach; someone who disassociated fans could recognize and want to come back to see at NT...yes, like a Hayden Fry type.

We have to get the fan base interested in NT football again. Only a noticeable change will do it.

You all that wouldn't take Kragthorpe are crazy. I think the positive from this article is that we could find a good coordinator from a major college, lure him to Denton and its family appeal, close to the Metroplex and the recruiting/media opportunities, get the administration to commit to continued facilities improvement and a new stadium and offer him an incentive laden contract based upon ticket sales, MGC memberships and success on and off the field.

      Minnesota

      Game shows to be on B1G+ which is 12.99 per month. Hopefully there's other options for the local UNT fans. I get tired of subscribing and canceling to random streaming services. To add, I dislike scheduling opponents who will only offer live streaming through their service. I'd rather play a smaller midmajor on ESPN+ than Minnesota. Oh well.

      If this isn’t a sellout…

      If this isn’t a sellout, then we may never sellout DATCU. We’re having a great season. Exciting offense with star QB. Record enrollment. Playing a BRAND NAME school with huge following that is nationally ranked. I, personally, bought 13 tickets and invited friends. Will be disappointed if this isn’t a sellout.

      WBB at Oregon (11/12/24)

      The 2-0 ladies deserve a game thread. After taking care of business against two D1 opponents this week, they travel to Eugene to play an Oregon Ducks team in what should be a winnable game. The Lady Ducks are 2-0 after wins over California Baptist and Nevada, but are coming off a season in which they finished last in the Pac-12 at 11-21, 2-16 and lost in the conference tournament to Colorado, 79-30. After SFA transfer Kyla Deck led the way against Alcorn State with 27 points, the ladies used a much more balanced effort yesterday to beat Texas Southern. Four were in double figures: Moore with 20, Wooten with 16, Hardaway with 15, and Lampkin with 11. The ladies play at a fast pace but still are too sloppy with the ball from what I picked up yesterday. This will be a great opportunity for a win against a power conference opponent.

      Morris Weekly Press Conference (11/05/24)

      Yes he did. It would be assisting to not acknowledge it. But notice he also said the result wasn’t satisfactory “the last couple of weeks.” It has been two years.
