I was completely unaware we were also looking at Jimbo Fisher, as in the coach who just recently won a national championship. Excuse my french here, but what the fuck UNT? What. The. Fuck

As North Texas alum Don Henley stated, "You can check out any time you like, ... but you can never leave". We are all just prisoners here of our own device.

I find it difficult to believe we actually had a shot to hire Jimbo or Jim.  I imagine those were choices recommended to us but I serious doubt we would have ponied up to not only pay their salary but also the salaries of the assistants they would've brought in.  While it would have been great to have one of the other two I don't loose any sleep over this.

and while we're at it, lets put the Eagle decal on the helmets and scrap the "mean green" slogan. never have felt that a color can be intimidating and represent strength, courage and fighting spirit. an Eagle can however! our uniforms do need some improvement.

Hey! At least we got something right!

Man that kind of statement can get you banned on here. Just kidding but seriously there are like 200 different college teams that have Eagles as their logo. We are uniquely Mean Green and proud as hell of it. GMG!

...dammit, Harry!

But really, this just brings the depression to a new low.

Harbaugh was using us for interview experience. His salary demands were said to be in the $450k or more range, which at the time, was about 50% higher than what we paid Dodge. Harbaugh got hired by Stanford later that winter...he was never coming here.

Fisher could've been had, though.

This is reason alone to fire RV. It's bad enough that he tried to pass Dodge off as a good hire, but the other 2 finalist just show how inept he is at picking coaches. 

When will RV's 17 friends realize that he just can't get it done here?

Are we sure he'd have come here?

Jimbo Fisher @‌ FSU:His contract initially guaranteed a base salary of $215,000 with incentives increasing the total package into the low $400,000 range.[ 

Todd Dodge @‌ NT:Because the contract begins Dec. 26 and runs through August 2012, Dodge actually will receive six years of base salary at $185,000 per year, with annual 5 percent increases starting in 2008. His base pay over five seasons averages $241,448. Dodge's $75,000 per year in guaranteed compensation includes a $30,000 radio stipend, $20,000 in end-of-season deferred money and $25,000 for North Texas maintaining its NCAA certification, Division I-A status and Sun Belt Conference membership. He'll also receive an annual $6,000 car allowance.

Whether or not the Jims were actual possibilities, it is funny to play "which one does not belong?" after the fact with the NC-title-winning coach, the program/NFL-rebuilder, and the guy who has the worst record in program history / now a mediocre HS coach. 

So I guess you're welcome Jim and Jimbo for your Super Bowl and NC appearances 

RV's not all bad, he made championships happen.

One again another glaring example of how fundraising is the most important aspect of being a college AD.  Dodge was who we got because he had the most upside for what we could afford.  The Jim's were not coming here for under 200k and frankly that being all we could pay was laughable for a D-1 program.  

 

A day late and a dollar short... UNT Athletics.

Jim Harbaugh was just suspended for 3 games at Michigan for sign stealing.

Jimbo Fisher was fired from Texas A&M with a 76 million buyout.

I'm still posting nonsense on GMG and we have only 1 bowl win during this 17 year stretch. Depressing.....

I got here because I had an notification of thread necromancy. I re-read my post and agreed and laughed at it and was about to give it a like until I was prevented in so doing because it was my own. 

 

Somewhat relatedly, I watched some old video of my kids when they were younger and laughed when they said something cute. The cameraman, also me, laughed at the same thing. 

Either some things are universal and true always or I am immature. Or both, you know.

This regurgitated thread is downright depressing.  We passed on Jimbo Fisher for how much money?

About $200k more. He got $400k to be OC at FSU and Todd Dodge got around hald of that. Not only that, if you recall our coordinators only made $93k at that time. I’m not sure that would have been enough to pull the staff that Jimbo would’ve required to come here. Dodge was making $90k as head coach of Southlake Carroll.

Actually, wasn't Jimbo subsequently hired to be the head coach at UAB but the Alabama regents wouldn't approve the hire?

      I assumed the t-shirt was part of this week's uniform. Why else wear it in the reveal? 🙂

      Army Week Unis

      Not a fan of the black but then again we've seen for years, what fans care for doesn't really matter to be completely honest when it comes to uniforms and school colors. We'll ask the question again that seems to trigger some of the people here, please give me an example of one player who has said they chose to come to a school or not go to a school because of the uniform choices changing constantly. What I do absolutely hate and think makes us look bad is the T shirts hanging out underneath the jerseys.

      Just here to piss off a handful of people and say the school recognizes black as an official color.... The uni is fun, the players like them.. lets win.

      Army Cadets?

      There are usually at least some cadets at away games -- usually cadet leadership and cadets from the general area of the game. The pep band also travels, but I don't know if they travel to all games. The Army team will go over to the visitor's seating area for the playing of Alma Mater after the game just as they do at home games.

      Minnesota

      "We knew this game was gonna be kinda one of the ones we didn't want to play..." "Obviously, Minnesota's probably gonna be much better than the last two teams we played." Minnesota defeated ORU 80-57 Their Field Goal Percentage was 57.7% Their 3 Point Percentage was 61.1% They had 9 total turnovers Defense will clearly be the key to the game.
