I find the note on Edwards to be very encouraging.

I guess I haven't been paying enough attention. Was there serious questions about resigning JJ and giving him a raise? Really?!?

Glad I missed it. I can only keep up with efforts to fire one coach at a time.

No one wanted to fire JJ. But several of us questioned the timing of extending his contract while the conference championship/conference tourny seedings were still in question and a few people here lost their tampon strings over it. That's all.

There was NO sentiment against re-signing the man. Re-signing him wasn't necessary---HE STILL HAD THREE YEARS LEFT ON HIS CONTRACT.

Since this happened a month or so ago......there was some sentiment of "Hey could we at least wait to see how the season finishes out....before we extend him for 2 more years and give him a raise?" (since he still had three years left on his deal).

That would have been the prudent way of doing things. What, for example.....if we had lost to ULM in the first round. (which we almost did). We would have been sitting at home....going nowhere (with our RPI).....but we would have a coach with a 5 year deal for more money.

And this is cash strapped UNT. So pardon some of us, if we worry about extending contracts too early.....since we often don't have the money to buy one out.
