I nominate Raptor Jesus. After all, he DID go extinct for our sins.

However, if Raptor Jesus is not available as an option, I will opt for Mike Leach, as he is, in comparison, the closest thing we could ever possibly get to Raptor Jesus.

I respectfully withdrawl my Jimmy Johnson nomination and throw my support behind Raptor Jesus.

These are the most common and realistic answer I received on my other topic. If there is anybody else you think should be on this poll let me know. I updated the poll & added 2 defensive guys &amp

If you guys give me a legitimate dark horse candidate i will add him to this poll or create a new poll. Dennis Green to me is not a candidate for North Texas because he is focused on getting back in t

He'd always know what the opposition would call and could gameplan accordingly!

Man this is entertaining. You guys are Going about this all wrong. The first thing you guys need to address is what qualities does your new ahead coach need to have. Ex recruiter, marketing, experience building programs, experience building sting defense or offense. Second you need to ask is how much will this coach change your program and are you willing to wait for those changes to pay off. Ex going after another spread coach or a defensive coach. Then you should look at what type o program is this coach used to. Dodge had the best players a high school coach could ask for. Now he's on the other side of that coin. I would think it would be good to hire a coach that can develope players. After that you should be able to filter the coaches that would best fit your program.

We couldn't have a serious discussion about anything. Everyone wants to give the cleverest, cutest and glibest (if there is such a word) response to every thread.

Nope, just a few. I fought the fight last year and got suspended from the board twice, so now I just live with it.

must decide on new coach on the way up or gamble on old coach on the way to retirement? i vote for experience as we see what lack of hc experience has done for us. the learning curve takes too long. we tried to tell him back in 2007 what he needed to do but took 4 years to get the right coaches and now doesn't have the right players or they are injured.

Then let me run by the hardware store and you guys meet me at Sparkman Hillcrest Memorial Park in 30 minutes....bring a Gypsy and a Voodoo Doctor.

The headstone is actually in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin, which was erected in Coach Landry's honor (http://www.cemetery.state.tx.us/pub/user_form.asp?pers_id=6810). He is actually entombed in the mausoleum at Sparkman Hillcrest, so you won't have to do any digging. It does have an emblem that looks like a fedora. Just trying to help.

I just don't understand why Brent Venables continues to show up on some wish lists here. There have been quite a few coaches move on from Stoops' tree, yet he hasn't. There is some reason or reasons why he continues to be passed over, it is not exactly like he is not in high profile position. And I would guess that Applewhite is the oc in waiting at Texas, and if Muschamp were to move on before Brown retires, then he might be the new assistant head coach and head coach in waiting. Just a guess.

Major Applewhite??? Christ almighty, no.

What? No Major Applepie? He's a former UT quarterback, just think of the recruiting advantage we'd have from his name recognition? Maybe his kid Minor Applepie could be our starting quarterback?

If we even need to hire a new football coach after the SBC part of the season is done...........I haven't seen any name on any of this forum's threads yet that I think Rick V would even consider, unless it would be those with USM connections, ie, those that he knows personally.

GrayEagle suggested that with a new stadium we need to go after a name coach and I agree.....and a few ex HFC's listed on this forum meet that criteria, but you have to check closely on how much baggage any of those particular coaches would be bringing to North Texas and we know of one that has a cargo full of baggage.

If we need to hire anyone, it would be one that we absolutely cannot afford to screw up. I think Rick V with his "short list committee" consisting of our Prez' and Consultant Chuck Neinas would come up with someone we would all mostly agree; of course, on this collegiate smack board we know 100% agreement is a total impossibility. :)

GMG!

Agh... so it's like a two-fer? If you get Raptor-Jesus you have to have the Raptor-Wrangler too? ...so cost is really the issue here?

Hummmmmm... ...but what about the new athletic fee? Surely we'll have enough budget for the pair once that kicks in? ...if its just a "NO" then the Wizard guy would be my second pick, but I think we should stretch to get Raptor-Jesus.

      Keeler to Temple

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
