"We will begin a national search." -RV

Hopefully that ends up being more than just Mississippi.

RV also mentioned there are some clauses in TD's contract that could shield the university some financially.

When asked if he would hire a HS coach again, he said "I never say never," and then said, "but I can tell you right now that this hire will not come from the High School ranks."

[UNT90]

missed the beginning. Is Dodge coaching out the year? Reassigned?

[Mean Green 93-98]

"This is not a tryout for Mike Canales" - RV

[Mean Green Matt]

Canales is the Interim HC. RV just said that this is not a tryout for Canales, but if he wishes to apply, he will be a candidate along with the rest. Sounds like Dodge is out of the program completely.

Wrong.

Say never. Scream it from the rooftops. Etch it in the foundation of the new stadium. PUT IT IN THE SCHOOL CHARTER.

The next time anyone at North Texas hires a coach that lacks any coaching experience beyond the high school level, that person should be FIRED IMMEDIATELY. No exceptions.

Say never. Say it. I dare you. I double dog dare you.

I don't know how many times this school has to learn that lesson. Maybe someday it works out for someone else, somewhere else. Good for them. We're done pouring salt in our eye.

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

Going to look to not just former head coach and current assistants but "head coaches who might see North Texas as a place they'd like to be."

I like it.

[VideoEagle]

"We need a coach who is out in the community." IN the restaurants, etc. Coaches need to be more of a ceo type. Understands importance of academics.

All of these are good things to hear.

[Mean Green Matt]

RV said that he expects Mike Canales to apply for the job. He reiterated that this is a NATIONAL search, and they are looking for coaches with a PROVEN RECORD, whether they are currently in the business or not, or a highly successful assistant. He wants a coach that will be involved in the community and visible to people, and involved in everyday life in Denton with alumni, Mean Green Club, and just residents in general.

That might explain why he does not want Leach.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Using a firm for the hire.

It's gotta be Neinas.

He's never said he doesn't want Leach. Lots of us assume that based on what he says he wants, but he's never said he doesn't want Leach.

"I have a list in my desk of people I keep up with."

Somebody else claimed in another thread that RV told him he had no interest in Leach.

[UNT90]

Going through an outside agency to assist in national search.

Turn off your phone!!

[Mean Green Matt]

RV's phone just rang.

[Green Lantern]

"Investment in people" - Yes!

[Censored by Laurie]

Somebody else claimed in another thread that RV told him he had no interest in Leach.

Some poster once claimed a hurricane would kill Osama bin Laden...or some-such.

I'd stop listening to any of us.

[El Paso Eagle]

"I have a list in my desk of people I keep up with."

That's funny .... RV has the same thing

[Mean Green 93-98]

+1 for good advice.

EDIT: Well, I tried. Used them up today.

What was that comment about Tune? Is he possibly going to get a medical RS?

[Mean Green 93-98]

What was that comment about Tune? Is he possibly going to get a medical RS?

He mentioned it, but it didn't sound like he knew whether or not it was a possibility or whether Tune even wanted it.

[MeanGreenEngineer]

RV mentions being fiscally responsible.... Is that really what we need to be concerned about here, getting someone on the cheap?

[Mean Green 93-98]

No offense, but do these guys know what they're talking about?

They mentioned Mike Canales as being here "the last few years."

They talked about the buyout the school would have to pay if Canales were let go.
