What school at our level or maybe just a tad below who is presently a working Head Football Coach and one that has the reputation of being a bonafide recruiting guru (and maybe even among Texas HS's) would bear our search group looking at?

Thus far...it seems we've only discussed mostly former known HFC's who have not coached for awhile.

On this list might be presently working head football coaches who we have to recruit against now yet if that said coach were suddenly recruiting for UNT...who might that coach be?

What about looking at a WAC Head Football Coach or 2 UNT could shop and with a new stadium said coach might very well be interested?

Jim, I can't think of a single presently working head football coach that would look at UNT as a promotion other than one at an FCS or below university.

The WAC currently has three very good to excellent coaches but all three are moving to the MWC in the next couple of years. The only "up and coming" possibility is Gary Anderson at Utah State and I'd take Chico over him in a heartbeat.

I've always believed that someone who is a good coach with a great gameplan/system will be able to recruit his type of players. And if he directly doesn't do it then that is where his staff comes in. If Canales is the guy and he produces which so far he has in a very short sample...then kids and parents will take notice and that will be half the battle as far as what you have to sell to these kids.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      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!

      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
