I would not be embarrassed by that record.

I am never embarrassed by UNT. And, as Flyer says, this would not be a bad first-year record for Coach McCarney at all. It's really nice to see UNT stepping away from those days of the 1-win/2-win predictions.

If the media has us here, I am assuming you have us down for 18 wins minimum, right? :P:lol:

Look out, record books!

Gosh that's terrible...

Thats how bad it has been, and its going to be a tough long haul to turn it around. A 5-7 record for north texas next year would be a welcomed improvement and step in the right direction. This staff didnt inherit much and it will take them a while.

The staff didn't inherit much? That's a bold statement. The only positions where we will take a step back are offensive tackle, wide receiver, and defensive tackle. And that number 5 guy? I'm sure every first year coach in the nation would love to inherit him. Now if you had 6 true freshmen starting, this might hold some weight, but by my last count, that number is zero.

In my mind those two setbacks alone create quite a wildcard. You can't dismiss that.

Yes, but you're bringing back most of the same guys who posted the previosu years record. The rest of the league gets bigger, srtonger, etc. just like UNT will. It's not like NT is the only team that will "advance" as the year begins...

True, but you're bringing back the same guys who came close to beating K-State and adding some key players who were injured plus a few freshman and transfers who are apparently going to make an immediate impact.

I look for a good year for UNT. Face it, Canales had these guys headed in the right direction when he took over. His enthusiasm and fired up coaching technique did wonders for that team the last five games. McCarney will have them pissing green!

If the Mean Green go 5-7 this year, they will win the SBC next year.

This.

Our coach is no idiot--he knows that he has severe depth and strength issues on the lines. The QB and WR situation will work itself out, but the lines alone keep my expectation for this season only at 3-4 wins. The attitude adjustment will pay huge dividends for us next season and beyond. But, if SI is right, and we go 5-7, I will be beyond thrilled.

To put this in perspective, since 1995, our first year back at the FBS level, we have won 5 games or more in a season on 5 occassions, 1996, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004. In 1996 and 2001, we won exactly 5 games. In the other 11 seasons, we have won a total of 27 games. You can see how a 5 win season prediction can make me giddy!!

We won 3 conference games last year with half a football team. We're getting more people back than we lost. Everyone keeps talking about the past like it matters. It doesn't. What happened in the past has absolutely nothing to do with this particular football team.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I think in your scenario part of what will happen is that the players will end up splitting into two groups: those that are minor league FB players destined for the NFL (short CFB term) and those that treat it as a full time job (longer CFB term). To your point, the NFL will be grabbing the best players when they are younger. Those that don't make the NFL will be the ones that remain in college. This will get more interesting once the players get turned into "employees", which is likely just a matter of time. When this happens, there will initially be restrictions on the employment, but like everything else, lawsuits will force changes, eventually making the players normal employees of the university. This will be followed by the legal challenge to get unlimited eligibility because it will be claimed that you can't fire an employee after 2 years, simply for hitting a "term limit". So, you say make them "contract" employees. That will have it's own set of problems. The next challenge will be to remove total "player" limits since these are just employees. Just as you can't limit how many janitors, professors, or secretaries a school can hire, you can't limit the number of hired "players". While it will likely be possible to limit the number of "active players" for a game, the hiring limit will have to be removed. While pro teams do have roster limits, that is purely self imposed by the league. The schools aren't going to do it (likely not legally allowed either) and the powerless NCAA will be able to do nothing about it. So, eventually, you have a system where schools can hire as many players as they want and keep them as long as they want. People can scoff at this, but the whole system is going to be driven by court decisions as this continues down the slippery slope that almost everybody predicted. It's why I smh at people that simply say "make them employees". As usual, they usually haven't considered either of the two issues I mentioned and I'm sure there are many other issues to address as well. HR is gonna' LOVE dealing with all of this! Now, where do HS players fit into this whole situation? As others have mentioned, this is really going to affect them and it's vary as the timeline moves along through the court challenges, resulting in the various changes. It will likely take at least a decade or more to get most of them resolved. I'm really not sure what's going to happen, but, as usual, the greatest HS players will be treated differently than the average and differently again for the "walkons". Until the system settles into some version addressing the two issues I described above (and many others), it will depend on the order in which the various changes are challenged/accepted/rejected by the courts. Given just the two I mentioned, you can make your own determination as to what will happen to the various HS students AND the existing players, some of which could be at a location for many years. We'll start in stage #1 and progress to stage #4, but stages #2,#3 could happen in the any order. YES eligibility limitations; YES hiring limits: TBD YES eligibility limitations; NO hiring limits: TBD NO eligibility limitations; YES hiring limits: TBD NO eligibility limitations; NO hiring limits: BIG$$ university can simply buy up all of the HS players that are willing to sit on the bench for big money? (similar to no salary cap in pros). As mentioned earlier, I can only imagine the "fun" this is going to bring to HR (and to the players, um, I mean employees) as annual "employee evaluations" are performed. As an example, given stage #3, how is a school going to deal with a situation where there are numerous 8+ year "employees" with a "meets expectation" but needs to get rid of them to make room for a great HS players or "transfers"? They could artificially "downgrade" an employee's evaluation, but anybody that's familiar with the corporate world knows this can lead to lots of trouble, including more lawsuits if they don't have a lot of info to back it up. And if you're in a public school, I'm sure there's a ton of processes to go through before terminating an employee, i.e. PIP plan, etc. Things like this is what will cause the situation to advance to stage #4 more quickly. Regarding the NFL, once we hit stage #4, schools will become even more direct minor league/farm systems for the NFL and the NFL will begin to get MUCH more involved. Luckily, NFL teams and owners are some of the most upstanding, values-minded people, so they won't do anything underhanded. /sarc
