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

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.

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. :)

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.

      Parking

      We were later than usual. We usually like to arrive 2 hours before kickoff, but we didn't arrive at the NT Blvd exit until 30 minutes before kickoff. If not for the Hub Club entrance, we would have missed the first quarter, too. The Northbound I35E North Texas Blvd exit is a poorly managed part that must be resolved. UNT should have made 100 plastic yard signs that say "Blue Lot for Pass Holders ONLY. No Passes for Sale" and stick 50 of them 5-10 feet apart down the left and right sides of the access road between the NT Blvd offramp and NT Blvd. For every five cars that turned left across the bridge and pulled up to turn into the south blue lot entrance, one went through. After half-time, someone can pull the hypothetical signs out of the ground and save them for the next game. One digital road sign was posted, but it didn't mention the Blue Lot needing already purchased passes. The message it did have about the Orange Lot was contrived and difficult to decipher. I didn't know the Brown Lot existed till this past weekend. It's an easily accessible lot rarely used on most game days. To be candid, I spend too much money as it is to get my complementary Blue Lot pass (I think if MGSF correctly accounted for my Basketball contributions, I should probably have a Black Lot pass). If they oversold the Blue Lot and I could not find a spot, I'd be very frustrated. The many open spots probably also have something to do with a lot of people parking in the gravel/mulch RV spots. I guess there are just not that many people who want to pony up more money than 2 Hub Club tix cost to park an RV. Regarding exiting, the Denton/UNT Police at one point had enough cones to keep you from leaving the southern Blue lot entrance and cutting across the southbound access road traffic to try to get on the Southbound I35E entrance at NT Blvd. They should start doing that again. Yes, I will have to go through the light at McCormick (I think that's the next street) and get on one entrance ramp further, but it will keep traffic moving better. I hate to say it, but we won't have any of these issues again this season, even with a win this weekend at UTSA.

      #Hit6?

      Before the season, my measurement of whether UNT had gotten better under Eric Morris was seven wins. I don't want to settle for six. Especially after getting to five as quickly as we did.
