Read the top line--

La Tech- Sonny Dykes talked with NT RB's Coach Shelton Gandy about the RB's job at La Tech!

Crap!

I am not sure, but I think Gandy applied for the HFC job at Sam Houston.

Is Coach Gandy wanting to leave NT or advance his career?

Coach Gandy states he will stay at NT!

Great!!

Missed it, but here's the rest of the story

LA Tech: We hear Sonny Dykes talked with North Texas running backs coach Shelton Gandy about the running backs job at LA Tech, but our sources tell us Gandy plans to stay at North Texas.

This would be yet another Fantastic hire!

His resume is very impressive:

Greg Peterson

Looks promising - I like the fact that he was responsible for recruiting at least half of DFW (west of I-35) and Oklahoma. Without looking it up, I seem to recall several CSU signees from DFW the last couple of years. And, his experience as OC and recruiting coordinator certainly don't count against him.

Review of Peterson's resume shows a new job almost every year.

Still, Peterson has a strong college back ground.

I would like to know who the other coaches/candidates being considered.

If you listen to Podcast #65 from Evan & Harry (by the way, nice job guys) you'll hear Rick Villareal mention that coach/coaches in the NT football ranks have been contacted about other opportunities and are electing to stay at NT.

I see salary as the biggest barrier. This guy coaches wide receivers for 11 years at Kansas State and they put a lot of points on the board. His recruiting abilities are another big plus.

If we can afford him, I move that the nominations cease.

From his BIO

Among Peterson's former players are nine All-American wide receivers, one All-American running back and eight Biletnikoff Award candidates.

A former wide receiver at Nebraska Wesleyan, played for the USFL's Houston Gamblers in 1985.

Did you notice that about half of his coaching life was spent at K-State?

Did quality time under Snyder at K State, and played for the Gamblers. Works for me. I was a big Gamblers fan. Was sad to see them go.

Interesting: If Greg Peterson is hired NT will have a (Greg) Peterson and a (Chuck) Petersen. Each have been Offensive Coordinators and both has coached wide receivers.???

Chuck Petersen recruits Oklahoma like Greg Peterson does...Chuck also recruits Arkansas. Not sure of what other areas Chuck recruits.

Do they both use Rivals or does one use Phil Steele and the other use Max Emfinger?? ;):D

Do you think? I just figured she wanted to meet at a bar at 10AM because she was a raging alcoholic.

He said decision, not announcement.

That is true, but Vito's blog title said "UNT to name wide receivers coach tomorrow." That implies an announcement. Oh well, as long as we have someone in place by the time spring practice starts, I guess there's really no urgency. I still don't know exactly when spring practice is scheduled to start and can find nothing on the official website about it. I saw that Texas started on Friday and got plenty of local (DFW) news coverage about it.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      MAC BROWN

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
