While yes I am extremely excited for this year of NT football I couldn't help but look to the future while looking through the new media guide.

It really struck me while seeing who we were going to be losing following this season. And while yes they are a few big names, there are very few starters that we lose. Of our starters we lose Cam, Toby, and Gilmore. There are a few others who will be leaving as well but are not staters, Bush, Adams, Hollivay, Hill, Ross. Some of those guys are fighting for starting jobs, depending on how those battles play out we could very well be returning as many as 17-18 starters next season. It's even more exciting when you think about how well TD has done in his last couple recruiting classes. We are really starting to build alot of depth across the board. The additions to this years class were huge, and then throw in the 2 transfers who will be eiligible next season, Herron and Stratford. It has taken a while but I really think that TD is getting his people in here. I really think that by next season NT could seriously be in contention for the SunBelt title.

How many days till kickoff????

That's incredible.

It really is, while of course I'm really pumped for this season. I can't help to be super stoked for next season already. I'm calling it now, mark it down on the 12th day of August 2009, H-towngreen says that NT will compete for a Sun Belt title in 2010. Returning 93 of 105, add 2-3 Juco's again to fill in whatever voids there are, and then we also get all of our scholarships back.

I was just listening to TD's press conference, he stated that we will only lose 13 of the 105 players in camp after this season. That is amazing.

The roster on the official site may not be up to date, but here's the numbers from there.

28 Freshmen

13 R/S Freshmen

26 Sophomores

28 Juniors

17 Seniors

Total of 112

I suspect Ross will be a starter, however he is actually a junior. The official roster is incorrect, per his interview; he is a redshirt junior. As you have indicated this is a young team even with a heavy dose of jucos in the last two years.

      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?

      You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

      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?
