His wife is a UNT grad if that means anything.

He is pro-UNT and goes to alot of the Denton functions. The incubent that lost was a former UNT engineering professor and people didnt like him like they did before, he was more academics before athletics.

He was brought in because Denton is experiencing alot of growth and the city didnt know how to handle it or manage it:

Golden Triangle Mall, the city didnt get involved and this slimy guy from New York bought the property and it is on its way to becoming a Flea Market. Alot of the tenants in the mall dont pay rent and are kept their to make the mall look full.

Rayzor Ranch: Just drive by 380 and I-35 and you will see what two years of progress has developed, nothing....

Various Business Parks and Retail Developments: Didnt take off or are still defunct.

The guy who won said he can manage the city's projects and developers in a better way and be better in dealing with the city's growth.
