I love it! Coach Mac made no bones about it that the defense will improve. I would imagine with the success Skladany brought Iowa State and UH recently, that Mac wants Skladany here as his DC. In talking with some U of H people they really seemed to think highly of Skladany, and said his defenses were so much better than they are were before he got there and are since he left (Brian Stewart-ex Cowboys DC is now down there).

Love that UH connection of the last 2 years.

He probably would know where Alvin, Danbury, Liverpool, Sweeney, Brazoria, Freeport, Pearland, Angleton, Clute, Lake Jackson, etc, are and not need a Texas map to find them (not that he'd want to go to my home county now unless for some great fried jumbo shrimp).

Last 2 Cougar greats from Brazoria County was UH QB Bo Burris and Receiver Elmo Wright from Sweeney, Texas.

One of the good things I heard last evening from Coach McCarney was that our defense will definitely be improved...and it will more than likely be led by a new defensive coordinator. I hope one that has the enthusiasm of both Coach Canales and Coach McCarney...and one that will actually help build the team through recruiting. OC's and DC's not recruiting on the road may work for the UT's and OU's of the world, but not for UNT. UNT needs "all hands on deck" when it comes to rebuilding this program. I look forward to a new DC for next season and a new attitude on defense. UNT has the players that can make this happen, they just need a coach to share their enthusiasm and effort...and to coach them.

If he knows where Rowanville is (or was), he's okay by me.

That's one decision I bet Sumlin wishes he could un-make. From 10-3 last year to finishing 5-7 Saturday.

Agreed...but that is with taking a huge hit by Keenum being injured. I would argue that DC is even more important of a hire than the OC since our offense is already in high gear (thanks to Coach C) and we just need to make sure that it is a homerun like the two hires that occurred this week.

If you're going back as far as Elmo Wright, you can't forget Jim Lindsey

Skladany is a good coordinator. He got scapegoated last year at UH. The defense was bad and so he got the axe. This season, with more talent across the board on the defensive side of the ball, the UH defense got worse. I'm guessing most UH faithful would have Jon back no questions asked.

      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
