Apparently TYSports blog is saying Ron Mendoza wont be back as DC next year. Any truth to this?

Deloach the greatest DC ever at North Texas? I think that Bill Brashier and Corky Nelson (defense was really his area of expertise) would be a bit ahead of him.

Well that's a shock...

You know you can't trust rumors from TYSports...just ask everybody. :ph34r:

Man, I hope he's right. PLEASE...

Mendoza may be able to pick it up quick with some help. Hopefully whoever we bring in can help teach the relative Green (no pun) staff a thing or two and at some point Mendoza MAY be a viable option for DC. ...but now isn't the time.

NT needs to build QUICKLY and get some real success. We need to be in the hunt THIS YEAR - improvement on defense and continued improvement on offense will get us there. OCC is going to be tough this year, but there is no reason with a decent Defensive scheme we shouldn't be in the thick of things in 2008.

TY is always right. If Tina says Mendoza is demoted, you can bank on it.

Looks like my prediction for a 9-11 win season is setting up nicely.

I am curious, when Dickey demoted/promoted Kenny Evans, he took him out of the position of DC and made him concentrate on a position BUT also promoted him to Assistant Head Coach... is Ronnie boy gonna get the same BS reassignment? I guess that it would be ok as long as it was in name only - but this guys has ZERO respect from his players. The stories that I have heard are pathetic. I really think that a high school coach could do better .... wait, strike that... I mean a COLLEGE coach could do better

Oh, how the Flying Spaghetti Monsters taunt me.

Could this be...a blessing from God??? Please HELP NT, and get us a real DC!!! PLEASE bring DeLoach back to us!!!

I'll second that!!

DeLoach would be a god send right now. The talent that this team has returning plus the recruiting... he could make a top 30 defense in just the off season.

Please God be true, please God be true.

I know it's already after Christmas. But here we are, a bunch of Mean Green "Ralphies", praying and scheming about how we can get that Red Ryder BB gun (aka Gary Deloach).

I'm a DeLoach fan as much as the next guy but are there not any other candidates that might be even better than DeLoach which we should consider? Bennett? Anyone?

The thing about DeLoach is that he knows North Texas, and the North Texas area, and he was successful while he was here. I wouldn't see a down side to this.

DeLoach >/= Bill Braskey?

Not saying there is or would be a downside to DeLoach coming back. Just wondering if there is anyone better that is available.

While we're on the discussion of defense does anyone think we may ultimately move to a 3-3-5? Seems like speed might be a little easier for us to recruit than dominate D linemen. Not to mention the fits Tulsa's D gave us.

Id rather us not play in a 3-3-5 if we can't recruit dominant linemen. If this is the case, we would never get a pass rush and we could basically give up 3-8 yds on any run consistently. I'd rather we get better at tackling in general before switching to a wide open defense. At least with 4 guys on the line we can hope they trip over the guys already clogging the holes and laying on the ground.
