Two Articles From Kirk Bohls - Austin American Statesman

6. Was talking to a friend in the Kansas State press box about long shot possibilities for the North Texas football vacancy. How about former South Florida coach Jim Leavitt or former Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione? The Eagles could do much worse.

Link #2

But the 39-year-old Iowan with thinning hair and an unquenchable thirst for energy drinks is full of confidence, humor and good sense when it comes to football. Exactly as one would expect from a hot commodity on the hiring circuit.

Really neat. And, has TCU beating Oregon for the National Championship. The Horned Frog Nation has evryone talking about them!

"I'm hearing Texas will downsize its nonconference basketball schedule but probably keep Michigan State as a regular opponent because Barnes and Tom Izzo are such good friends."

There's a surprise. Texas ducking top-flight competition while they're down. Someone tell me again why us scheduling to win is such a sin. The all-mighty horns are now doing it in BOTH revenue sports.

No issue with scheduling to win in football (for North Texas). Basketball needs a tougher schedule to improve seed in tournament or get an at large bid in the NCAA (the Sun Belt has receive multiple bids in the past).

Link #2 has been my favorite if we go coordinator route.

Texas isn't really all that down in basketball, though.

Bohls also said this about our coaching search:

"Wondering if Texas tight ends coach Bruce Chambers would be interested in the North Texas head coaching vacancy. He’s a crackerjack recruiter, very personable, was a successful high school coach in Dallas and can recruit the state very well."

His only head coaching experience was at Dallas Carter, so that fact would hurt him here in the eyes of most fans. He graduated from NT in 1982, having played for both Hayden Fry and Corky Nelson. He has been UT's recruiting coordinator since 2005.

He has literally no chance at UNT of becoming our HFC.

Was not promoting him, just pointing out what else was mentioned! It is only one of very few thing mentioned outside of this forum and the DRC about our extensive search. But thank you for your expert insight in letting me know he stands no chance, duh!
