My education and experience tell me that there could be trouble here...but there are always exceptions. Coach Mac seemed to be very genuine regarding his respect for Coach Canales and their previous experience.

Having said this, I am THRILLED for Chico and for us!! This day is arguably a win - win.

What a way to start a press conference with announcing the hire of Coach Canales.

I have been trying for over a month to get information about season tickets to the new stadium.

Up until now I could only get info on club seats.

They are finally ready I have an appointment tomorrow at 10:00.

I feel like buying a whole section.

Coach Mac to Chico- "Mike, give me a year or two and I'll do everything I can to get you your Head Coaching job."

Chico to Mac-"I'm in, I liked working with you at USF and I think we can do some great things here soon."

Hmm.. Wouldn't doubt that something like that actually went down.

First post on the forum. Thought I'd quit lurking and say "Go Mean Green". Couldn't be happier about how this turned out... I was slightly disappointed to think that we'd lose Canales, but McCarney appears to be the best of both worlds: experienced head coach and also willing to adapt. Legitimately excited about UNT football! Oh, and Lance Dunbar is 3rd in the nation in rushing. Sweet.

Here's a USA Today story on it. It confirms Urban Meyer knows North Texas exists!

I want to congratulate you guys on what I think was an extremely successful hiring process!

I also want to congratulate you on having an athletic director not afraid to take heat for spending money to hire Chuck Neinas and not just doing things the easy way and promoting Mike Canales. And also for hiring a coach with the guts to hire a guy as one of his coordinators whom he knew many wanted to get the top job. Many head coaches are so paranoid they would be threatened by somebody like Canales. So props to McCarney on that.

With apologies to FirefighterRick ( ;) ) I'll just mention SDSU this last time. We won exactly two games two years ago. Now we're getting votes in the AP poll and Rivals has us as the 27th best team in the country. Brady Hoke gets all the credit but at least as important has been his staff as a whole, including DC Rocky Long, who Brady didn't worry some might think should be the top guy if the team struggled a bit. Seems that McCarney has the same philosophy.

I'll be following your program to watch the fruits of your efforts during this process. Again, MAJOR congratulations!

      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?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      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
