Just Wondering If Mean Green Fans Knew

Just got to wondering what had happened to Matt Simon, fomer HC at North Texas. He is now running backs coach for the Chargers, who will be in the playoffs for the first time in 19(?) years. He didn't work out so well at North Texas at that time, but good to see he landed on his feet and is enjoying some success.

Just got to wondering what had happened to the guy I believe was HC when Dodge had his first coaching stint at North Texas. He is now running backs coach for the Chargers, who will be in the playoffs for the first time in 19(?) years. He didn't work out so well at North Texas at that time, but good to see he landed on his feet and is enjoying some success.

Actually, Dennis Parker was the head coach...when TD was an assistant with us.

Thanks, it is now corrected.

Matt Simon was running backs coach with the Baltimore Ravens for several years and now SD for a couple. He commented to the DMN back when we renewed the football series with Smut. Said he enjoyed his time at NT (except for dealing with Helwig {my opinion}) and was glad we were playing them again.

I really liked listening to Matt's talk shows. He was a very enthusiastic coach and a good fit for the program at that time. I wish things could have worked out better for him here in the end.

I remember that a lot of the people I talked to really liked Coach Simon...maybe not how the team was doing, but the few people in my very early college career that had anything to say about him all thought he was a really nice guy. Glad he's doing well.
