Ok... I know that it is early to be discussing this and we should be enjoying this, so far, amazing BBall season... But, after this season is over and assuming that we are competitive, winning the sunbelt and getting that elusive win in the big dance, what happens to Our Coach...and he is Our Coach!

I know he had the extension recently, but I also know that he is turning heads all over the country. What does the athletic fee do for Coach Jones? Is it possible to extend him with a better extension... redundant... We have been asking 'what do we do to keep JJ?', is it money? Is it prestige or potentialthat he wants? If it is money how much money does that require, or how much can we afford? Does the answer to these questions depend on the results of the UNT Head Football Coach Sweepstakes? If we pay $800,000 for a HFC do we have any money left for JJ?

I am hoping that RV has been thinking of this because our BBall program has progressed further and faster than anyone could have predicted and the architect of that ascendancy looks like Cipro to a big time school's bball program after receiving an anthrax letter.... Should we, are we, making sure that our budget is not stretched so thin that JJ loses out after the new HFC hire?

so far, amazing BBall season..

Pull in the reins a little, not quite ready to call it amazing yet after Tech struggles in the first half against ULM and SHSU (I know they're a decent team) and we get walloped by the jayhawks.

But on topic, to serve as a starting point, we are paying JJ $200k a year right now as a base salary. If JJ gets an offer from LSU it will most likely be 3.5-4x that amount. UNT probably can't match that nor (do I think) JJ would turn down a shot at a big time gig. If we're able to keep him we will pay him more, maybe around $400k?

Tech played SFA (23-9 last season) (24-8 the year before) and did away with them fairly convincingly in the second half.

Tech had a pretty terrible 1st half against Liberty (15-16 last season) (23-12 the one prior CIT Invite) in the game after SFA.

The indication is that Tech will likely bring up the rear of the Big 12 south, but this doesn't mean that Tech is a bad team. The big 12 South had 4 of the 6 teams make the tourney last year.

I always mix up SHSU and SFA, but even worse that they struggled with SFA..SHSU is better and thought that's who their struggles were with. I know they played liberty, I was referring to their first half with ULM however. Looks like Tech hasn't yet shaken their sluggish first halves...that will plague them come conference play.

Better stated hickoryhouse cool.gif. I'll consider it an amazing season when we finish with 5 losses and are heading to the tourney as a 12 seed.

      He could be a really good example of the rich getting richer if his draft stock stays low due to his age. Imagine a team like Dallas, Boston, Denver, or OKC getting him late in the first round and bringing his energy off the bench for the next few years. I'd hate for my team to go against him.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      This could be our Deion Sanders hire or our Trent Dilder hire. Definitely could be a huge hit or a massive miss. If UNT wants a circus, I got my popcorn ready.

      Not a good day for the Big East either. These "ranked" teams losing big just show how unreliable early season rankings are. Wonder if UConn will be ranked after 3 straight loses.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
