This would be unfortunate. I really hope he stays at UNT.

He's a quitter... we don't need quitters!!! :thumbsd:

This would be a great chance for UNT to just give him the money he wants and tell Indiana to shove it. The way that Vito reported it made it sound like he had signed something, so we should have a chance to at least convince him to stay. The only problem would be the politics involved if that took his salary over the top of Canales, which is probably already finalized.

Unrelated but did UNT put a buy-out clause in Coach Mac's contract? If so, how much? If not--why not?

GMG!

All good eitherways. The fact that a Big 10 school saw the same thing we did at least gives me hope that we're finally hiring the right type of coaches. Dan will find another, although I hope Bowen stays. Crazy time of year, let's just take a deep breath and hash it all out when the dust settles.

Hope you stay Coach Bowen, was looking forward to seeing your stamp on our Defense.

Go Mean Green!

If he leaves I sincerely hope Canales pulls out all the stops when they roll into town next season. Let him see that he would have been MUCH better off coaching with us rather than against us.

Hope he stays, but if not, I trust Coach Dan will hire the right man and the Coach Chico will hammer him in 2011.

Outside of the WKU source...I just don't see any indications on their board (Indiana's) besides what our fans have posted on there that substantiates this claim.

Canales seems to be a pull out all the stops kinda guy for every game :rolleyes:

WKU article indicates perhaps dual offers and maybe Indiana's was declined/removed?

"...and the Twitter post linking Bowen to Indiana was later removed."

Pretty weird to be confirmed resigned, but to not be confirmed employed somewhere.

Horned Eagle · December 10, 2010

Bowen is still in Denton. Nothing has changed, this is just rumor. Panic hats off, everything is alright. Welcome Coach Bowen to UNT, can't wait to see what you bring to the team!

To provide a little clarity into this, over at one of the UNT media outlets we called down to the athletic department and two different people confirmed for us that Bowen is not going to Indiana. He still is here at UNT, so let's take the panic level down and all relax. Everything is fine in Denton.

Good to hear this Horned Eagle! Bowen is a good one that we want to keep.
