It seems like this (apparent) hire is about continuity. If we were hiring a new OL coach at the end of the season, we could hire a coach who would bring in a whole different set of blocking schemes and terminology. Less than two weeks away from fall camp, it is key that the new coach can simply pick up where Lefty left off. I doubt anyone could do that better than Jeff Bryant.

What about Canales' old line coach from South Florida? I would think the guy knows how to coach blocking for Chico's offense. The guy was a successful O line coach in the Big East. Lets not sell ourselves short. I'm not sold on Bryant being our best option just yet. I hope the people doing the hiring stop, take a deep breath, and make sure they have really covered all their bases before settling on this guy.

Thoughts on UNT going with Bryant

http://meangreenblog.dentonrc.com/archives/2010/07/thoughts-on-unt-going-with-bry.html

EXERPT

Bryant has been at UNT, knows the players and the basics of what the Mean Green is trying to do offensively.

And he knows the culture of UNT.

There is something to be said for that at any school.

I go to practice every day, so I remember Bryant. He was attached to Spencer's hip most of the time.

Knowing the culure at North Texas is huge for any coach. It's my belief that Coach Dickey had absolutely no idea about the culture at North Texas when he took that job.

"If UNT shocks the world and wins seven games, Bryant is the guy who came in at the last minute and helped save the day. If UNT tanks, he still has an FBS stop on his resume."

....and someone will have a built-in excuse for another losing season.

I'm glad Troy Phillips is back on the beat. Brett Vito, in my opinion, has done a good job, but I noticed a couple of times this summer when he was really posting things that this forum does well enough, like posting smack talk from the private school to the south. Competition is a good thing.

      The End of an Era

      Been following the Mountain West for decades and you could act like San Diego State or UNLV. As a former UNLV season ticket holder I loathe SDSU but admire them today. They built an identity, established it on the national stage, nourished it and they keep coming back. UNLV meanwhile has floundered. A once proud program stuck in disillusion. The Rebels could be special again with a steady program and leadership but they have gone all over the board looking to reset. Been trying to reset for decades. I was hoping Krueger would work out but again they look lost. We have an identity and will benefit from nourishing it. I like the direction Jared went with Robinson. Keep being a thorn in our conference mates arse and best Memphis soon. It’s Green it’s good. GMG

      Hodge wanted to set us up for success

      I have learned over the career journey that we hold a lot more keys and power than people want us to believe. Ross could have said, “Wren I’ll make my decision after UNT’s season is over. I am staying focused, staying the course, my team and University deserve this. Was wren really gonna go get anyone else? Hell I wouldn’t have even interviewed until my current goal was accomplished or unattainable. Then I have a full clear mind to weigh everything even negotiate a stronger deal. I only personally realized this after I’ve been pressured in the business world to act fast or risk losing. When you are solid with a lot to offer they wait. We hold a lot more power than we know. A championship by this team would have elevated each players and coaches profiles immensely. Wren played Ross and crew like the more seasoned business man he is. Now GTFONT. I’m excited about Robinson. I would love to see a coach embrace Denton Texas USA too. Robinson seems thoughtful, strategic, steady and strong. Will this translate into wins, who knows. But a coach that arrives with skins on the wall, affirms his excitement for my University and his opportunity, has my attention and support. Show some love to the Community and get the alumni and locals excited, we’ll build you a statue. Opportunity rocks. GMG

      Could UNT go undefeated this year in FB?

      There’s only one major high profile program left to make a national mark and I think we will have a special season. Undefeated, a possibility, probability low. Big win season, fun and championship promise deep into the season I could see happening. Potential goals: Playoffs. AAC Championship. Strong Bowl marquee matchup. New Mexico Bowl or similar. I’m going with AAC Championship goal with a good season being a marquee bowl matchup. We must progress, so minimum is a lower profile bowl win. GMG

      Loved him here, but he is replaceable. I will miss Moukaye more.
