Recruiting to wait...

[jperg2]

WAITING GAME: North Texas' football staff was mired in a waiting game Monday.

The Mean Green coaches, with all of their futures up in the air following the firing of head coach Darrell Dickey three weeks ago, figured to be on the recruiting trails by now. The contact period for high school players began Sunday.

However, assistant head coach Kenny Evans said that the staff was put on hold by the UNT athletic department for recruiting, and was awaiting word on what its next step would be.

"We've got coaches that are willing to go out and recruit right now," Evans said. "You've got three weeks before and two weeks after Christmas, so every day counts. There's so many ifs at this point, and nothing's been decided as far as what we're going to do."

UNT's staff is under contract through the end of February. Evans said he and the staff expected to get some word on recruiting plans this week.
