Oc To Hire!

[Ole Green Guts]

Lincoln Riley, former inside wr coach at texas tech. did a great job calling the offense in the alamo bowl.

Additionally, he is a personal friend and a great young coach.

[dml7007]

I agree, I think he be a good addition. Young, and trying to make a name for himself. Tech did not have an offensive cordinator till that game, since Leach was that also.

[Charlie NT 73]

Ask him to call RV at the A/D's office.

Coach Dodge is at the American Football Coaches Association

Convention in Florida.

lincoln is probablly there too, I just texted him to see if NT has talked to him or what he has on his plate.

THANK YOU!!! I second that motion...wait...I think I firsted it!! Anyway, I totally agree this kid's got a ton of talent, knowledge and ambition. He was adored by the Raidernation and they are livid that he was released (last I checked, there was a 14-page thread on his dismissal). In addition to his knowledge of the spread, he was highly regarded as Tech's top recruiter. However, we have to move quickly if there is any hope whatsoever in landing Riley, because he's already started the interviewing process.

I think he would be a great hire. And one key thing you hit on was he is a top recruiter.

Here is a list of who was being recruited by whom at Tech: http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/commi...year=2010#page2

5 players recruited by Riley. Not saying they would all come here if we hired him, but it would open the possibility.

I would be 100% behind the hire of Lincoln Riley as the OC for UNT. GO GET HIM AND GET HIM NOW! Please and thank you! Then, let him do his job and really run the offense...just saying.

GO MEAN GREEN!

[H-towngreen]

Is there any way that we open up the checkbook and get Eric Russell as well?

I would bet that we could get 1 or 2 of the Tech recruits to follow them here to NT.

Doubt very seriously he wants to come back at this point.

give him a year as our OC learning any and everything he can. Then for the 2011 season we open our new stadium with our new HC Lincoln Riley. That way we open the season with a double whammy. I new, up-to-date, football stadium with a new and exciting HC that tore up the offensive record books in his first year as our OC.

I think my green kool-aid is spiked with green kool-aid.

Actually that might be a reason him or any other OC might want to take the job. If NT does good next year, Dodge keeps his job and the staff remains intact entering the next season in the new stadium. If Dodge does't meet the requirements and the OC has done a great job, possibility of being promoted. Guess it would piss a lot of the other coaches off, would think you?

maybe he could bring adam james to unt with him. it is much closer to celina and craig james.

[Charlie NT 73]

There may be another point to consider-

Lincoln Riley and Eric Russell may be waiting to see where Mike Leach will be going.

If Mike Leach lands a new HFC position, Leach may be calling both Riley and Russell.

The East Carolina Pirates job is open now.

[Ole Green Guts]

Just talked to Lincoln. He has not found another position but would definately be intrested in the position. Quick, someone let TD know!

[H-towngreen]

Someone please make this happen!!!! Nothing against the old SHSU coach, but I don't know much about him. But this would be a young energetic coach ready to prove something....please, please, please.

[Ole Green Guts]

I am with you H-Town, I am doing everything I can to get Lincoln and TD hooked up.......

Thanks OGG. Knowing that he's interested, I will be extremely, EXTREMELY upset if he is not even contacted/interviewed for the position.

RV - I hope you're reading the forum today, as well as keeping up with all the latest coaching changes around the country. Now, is not the time to be resting on our laurels.

[Charlie NT 73]

Ole Green Guts-

I am glad you are back on GMG!

Tell Lincoln to call the NT athletic office, ask for Rick V.

Is Lincoln at the coaches convention? Heck- put out a page for Coach Dodge.

[Ole Green Guts]

I gave Lincoln RV, Clayon George and Lefty's cell #'s/

If you pull this off, you need to be given an agent's cut.

Just what we need an SMU smart ass Dad and his whiner no talent son.

For more on Riley's recruiting prowess at Tech and quotes from kids he was recruiting, this is a good read.

Prized receiving recruit still committed to Tech, keeping options open

If this Lincoln gets hired Ole green guts should get the gomeangreen.com poster of the year award.

[UNT_playmaker]

Playmaker is 100% behind hiring Lincoln Riley as NT's new OC.... Great Find....

Isn't sad that our GMG Posters are trying to find coaches for our beloved football program...Hope it gets the Ahtletic Dept's attention.

When that poster happens to be a football coach with connections, I'd have to say no, not sad.
