North Texas: We have confirmed that several people within the North Texas athletic department believe that interim head coach Mike Canales would be a great fit as head coach.

Who? The assistant to the assistant waterboy for the women's basketball team?

I expect RV to stick to his statement that we are conducting a national search for an experienced head football coach with a record of success.

I sure hope so...Canales may be the guy, but we need to look around also....if Canales makes big waves ,with what is left in this team, during the remaining season, it would say tremendous things about his ability...we already know were his heart is.

I would expect the AD to say this.

What else would they say? "No, even though coach Canales is working hard and our players are working hard to try and salvage this season, we feel that coach Canales is simply interim and will not be retained next year..."

What would that do to the morale of the team?

I admire RV, but when he says that this is not a "tryout" scenario for coach Canales, I simply do not believe him. If it's not, then it should be.

The decision won't rest with a group in the athletic department of which some merely want to keep the Sun Belt status quo (and for some their very jobs), but look for the 3, ie, our holy tribunal (prez, ad, consultant) who will make the decision and I don't think they will be consulting with anyone employed within the UNT Athletic Dept. They will also not use a win over WKU as a major influencer of a decision for Canales or DeLoach--yes, why not our defensive coordinator since he had the right stuff to even come back to Denton.

I do know talking with a couple of sources who give more than just significant monies to UNT, UNT needs to be extremely careful not to pick a coach who will split the UNT commnity of Big Donors straight down the middle. That group is expecting more than what UNT has dished out the last 30 years.

Most of us peons will fall in line with most any hire, but we also don't influence those who could be or even recommend corporate donors for our new stadium, either.

Good luck to our hiring holy tribunal of UNT, you definitly have your work cut out that will have most definite long term and far reaching results; so please don't let the emotion of any one fleeting moment influence such a decision. Our future in that new football palace is worth more than that.

GMG!

It's a try-out in so far that Canales will have to impress for the remainder of this season to be on the short list - but it isn't a try out in the sence of "you do good you're automatically the guy".

I think that is it exactly. Do well and you get bonus consideration, but nothing is automatic.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
