Why Bowen Is So Attractive

[Harry]

From LJ World:

"Bowen could represent an attractive pick for the Wildcats because of his significant recruiting ties in Kansas..."

If Coach Bowen can tap into the talent at the JUCO system in Kansas he will be a major asset for us. Also he sounds like an excellent BCS experienced coach! Welcome to Coach Bowen!

How many points did we score on the WKU defense?

How many points did we score on the WKU defense?

How many of those WKU players will be playing for UNT next season?

[UNTFan23]

How many points did we score on the WKU defense?

19 if you consider we scored 14 points on fumbles recovered late in the 4th qtr.

You know, you can give me all the negative points you want, but it was just a question....and a valid one too. How many of you people hitting the - buttons thought it was okay for Coach Dodge to bring his HS defensive coordinator with him?

I like what I've seen so far from Coach McCarney, but I'm still not a "blind faith" person. I still reserve the right to ask questions.

It wasn't a valid question, it was a shot.

It wasn't a valid question, it was a shot.

A shot would be "Oh wow, we just hired a DC whose defense we scored 33 points on the week after we fired our head coach. Imagine what we would have done to his defense if we had had TWO WEEKS to prepare".

Perhaps I am missing something. Did we hire Coach Bowen?

Nevermind, just saw the other thread.

How many points did we score on the WKU defense?

I went to look at Sun Belt defensive stats. I looked at conference only because I think that offers the best comparison.

Points Allowed

1. FIU 23.9

6. UNT 27.0

7. WKU 28.0

Yards Allowed Per Game

1. WKU 349

7. UNT 396

From looking at those stats, I'd say WKU had a better defensive than North Texas did this year (at least in conference play). Also, remember Bowen only had one year to work with WKU. I'm also confident that McCarney will provide lots of guidance and help for Bowen since McCarney has a defensive background.

If it had been me, I would have given this guy a serious look.

If Dodge had retained him, he might still be the head coach here.

Here is a list of his current targets at WKU. There are several TX athletes listed on here, lets see if he can get a couple of them to stay home.

Interesting. Thanks for the link and data. This hire looks a little better now.

Stan R will admit he laughed at this.

He also went to Butler CC, then went to Kansas as a player. A lot the stud from JUCOs are coming out of Butler, 3 of the top 20 are out of Butler. I know we want to recruit HS players but having Juco relations doesnt hurt.

Most of them already committed

C'mon CBL. They're obviously fake. He's only attractive thanks to the miracles of modern medicine.
