Why Can't We Do Something Like This?

That's the football banquet, I'm talking about signing day.

So you're probably suggesting that we do something on signing day, whether a banquet or not, right?

Most programs have a media/press conference the day of so that the coach(es) can discuss the recruits. And it is open to the public, I believe. What do we do? Not sure, but having ANOTHER "pay-for" or "club-only" function just 7-10 days after doing something similar like the banquet might be a bit much on Mean Green wallets. One or the other, sure; but not both.

just my 2 cents

You may be right. Just an idea. BTW the press conference isn't open to the public. It's against NCAA rules (go figure). Two years ago on signing day after the press conference RV did a tour of the new athletic center had a seperate meeting with fans with Dickey talking about each signee. Last year they did a meeting w/ video of each signee a couple of weeks past signing day. It was during spring football and after a gomeangreen.com bbq for the coaches/players and families.

Anything like that would be fine. Forgive me for being greedy. I just can't get enough Mean Green Football!

Absolutely this is a great idea! It should be held after signing day so fans/alums can meet a coach(s) and get the run down on signing class. UT does this in Dallas every year. They send one of the coaches to address attendees at the Park Cities Club over a lunch. Good PR and a bit of a fund raiser. Great event! Let's do it!!

Baby Arm is correct that the signing day press conference was a closed event two years ago. A seperate briefing was held for those of us who are not employed by the media. It was open to the public last year, however. Several of us were able to attend. I don't know what the difference was, but it did change. I believe the event was televised through Mean Green Premium a year ago. It would be nice to know in advance what the rules will be this year. If it is open to the public I plan to be there. It is a fun event to attend.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
