Exactly. Why we didn’t hire a former D1 football program builder like Fuentes or a successful Sun Belt head coach this last time around is beyond me.

I don’t think this can apply to UNT anymore. Last I saw, Caponi is the highest paid G5 assistant, and he fielded the WORST D1 defense last year. Make it make sense to me as to how that’s acceptable? Why are we paying an unproven coordinator top dollar to develop? That’s not our job. We pay him, and his job is to win. We keep hiring coaches who haven't done the job before at the D1 level and it keeps coming back to bite us. Sometimes they pan out (e.g., Graham Harrell as OC), but most of the time they flop and then we’re stuck footing the bill while being the laughing stock of college sports. We are no longer a coach “development” spot and can’t see ourselves as such anymore. We have the funds and program that warrant bringing in experienced, veteran coaches who have a resume of success at the D1 level.

The Tulane-ULL game has been a close game. ULL cut it to 5 and then Tulane burned up 1/2 the 4th qtr driving it down the field but held to a FG, so it's 41-33 with 5:30 to go. Interesting is that ULL has had records similar to us until 2019 when Billy Napier got them on the National stage for a few years, then 6-7 seasons since he left. They're 2-0 this year. My point is that there is NOBODY at the game. (It is hot). The far side is empty because construction of the upper deck addition is underway. However, the shots of the other side shows maybe 25% attendance.

Pretty rough weekend for the state of North Carolina: UNC currently losing to James Madison 38-60 N.C. State losing to Clemson 14-59 Coastal Carolina losing to Virginia 3-17 East Carolina will probably get whooped by Liberty here in a little while. I can only imagine if Duke loses to MUTS. EDIT: Forgot to mention, Charlotte lost to Indiana 14-52 Appy State lost to South Alabama 14-48
