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.

      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?

      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?
