OC Mike Canales WILL BE the next head coach of the Mean Green!

THIS WILL HAPPEN!!!

UNT WILL WIN 8 GAMES in 2011

- instead of being the start to a new generation of football success at UNT, Dodge will simply be remembered as the last of the old generation head coaches. The last man to coach the mean green at Fouts Field.

He is way better than Ford, but he isn't quite walking on water.

After last week, we were all suffering from delusions of adequacy.

Canales is Luke Wilson, we're the future of America. Brought to you by Carl's Jr.

when we hired TD we knew he would bring some flare to our offense and that naturally we would put up a lot of points...

Canales, however, brings fluidity to our offense.... after TDs first two or three seasons i felt like our Offense started to become stagnant and predictable... MC has brought back the Mystique....

Even if its not Canales, the next HC of UNT will be hired from within...

after this stadium is finally up... are we not going to be dirt poor?

The same Mike Canales that called the same play to Riley Dodge 3 times in a row? You know the wildcat only works if there is a threat to pass, otherwise you might as well be playing Dickeyball from the shotgun.

The simple and undeniable truth is if Dodge gets released then RV has to clean house with all the coaches. Bring Canales up for anything more then an interim coach would be booster support suicide.

I think that if we've learned anything from the Dodge era, it's that no matter how simple, obvious, or undeniable the truth may be, a lot of people here can convince themselves it isn't the truth.

okay... if not Mike Canales than who?.... I mean seriously... can we really afford to go after some semi-notable Head Coach who's looking to rebuild his career? Our FB program is not as lucrative as the other Texas schools so how do we expect to stay competitive? Having a semi-famous name in TD has greatly increased our recruiting success.... whats gonna happen next year if TD is not around?

ITS OBVIOUS sOME PART OF THE WINNING EQUATION IS STILL MISSING FROM OUR PROGRAM... ITS NOT PLAYERS BECUZ WE GOT TALENT!!!!!

with the exception of McGuffie there was no difference between our players and those of the Rice Owls

SO THEN WHATS THE PROBLEM!?!?!?!?

There aren't just 2 guys out there that can coach at this level for the same or equal price. There are FCS schools with coaches that can beat top 25 teams that make less money than TD or MC. There are plenty of coaches that are chomping at the bit to take a job at the highest level of college football. You said yourself the talent isn't that bad, which would make this job attractive to someone who can coach them up. The best recruiting bed in all of college football, a new stadium on the way, and an increasing fan base make this job anything but a place to end a career.

MC certainly is bringing the mystique back. I am mystified by our use of Riley Dodge. I am mystified why, after 2 games at OC for UNT and no previous head coaching experience, some think MC is the best person to head this team.

on scout

UNT this year is currently tied for 98th in recruiting

in 2010 they were #117 (out of 120)

in 2009 UNT was #116

in 2008 UNT was #68

in 2007 UNT was #103

and UNT has suffered a large number of players leaving especially from those first two classes.....so not sure where the "we got talent" comes from

it looks like it is a huge part coaching, a huge part recruiting, and a large part talent......when you are bad at all three and down in the 100s 3 out of 4 years in recruiting it is hard to say the talent is there

i would give him a shot but the problem is not naming someone head coach. it is finding someone that can do all the little stuff they have to do besides coach. like recruit and find quality assistants and find players that want to stay in the program and make passing grades and workout to get in better shape.

i don't know if being a oc immediately qualifies you as head coach material or not. dd was oc at smu before joining nt, and my top replacement for td would be the oc at houston.when it becomes mathematically impossibled to win 7 games, i would fire td &let mc coach the rest of season.we must get someone in who can recruit. for a successful head high school coach, td did a terrible job of bringing in new talent.

If this happens, there are much bigger problems with the UNT football program than I thought.

I'm not saying he is the best...certainly after putting RD in the game...which may have cost us the game....it certainly killed drives...it puts a big question mark in my mind, but what I am saying is he probably will be the next HC....politics, money, experience...etc. There are probably plenty of good choices out there, just have to go find them and pay them.

It is possible that the OC was overruled by the HC, IMO.

1 drive of Riley running some poorly called (or poorly read) plays is DEFINITELY NOT what cost us this game.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
