FAU Coaching Rumor

I think Stoops should sit out a year. I think perspective and rest helps a lot of formerly good coaches. I think Rich Rodriguez is going to fit into Arizona nicely. I cannot believe how many coaches in the Pac 10 need to go including Nieuheisel, Erickson and whoever is at Oregon State. The fact Utah could have almost made it in there but choked against CU was surprising. The Pac 12 stinks this year.

For the record watching TT and BU was disturbing as well. I just have horror flash backs to our Dodge days when we could score but couldn't stop anybody! SOOOOOOOOO many frustrating games.

We look more and more like ISU everyday and I can live with that especially if we win on 12.3 and compete for a bowl berth again next year! This has been fun.

I don't know how long TTech stays with an obviously failed Tuberville experiment. It's not like Leach left the cupboard bare. Really no excuse for his complete failure there. Don't know if the OU upset is enough to ensure his survival come December.

Tuner Gill out at Kansas

Kind of surprising--he definitely took the program down several notches from where Mangino had it, competitively speaking. But I would have figured he'd be given another year.

Then again, my thinking may be colored by how we do things at North Texas.

Wait until coach killer James is finished up in Lubbock. That situation regardless of fault has taken Tech back 10 years. I hope Sherm is out at TAMU. How would Tuberville do back in the SEC? Aggies need an SEC guy as they embark onto some powerful seas.

I assume you heard the rumor about Freeze to Ole Miss. Freeze denies it.

I have not heard that one yet , but I assume Memphis makes a strong push for Freeze. Not sure if he would leave

He would be dumb to move to Memphis, as it would be a step down as a coach in reality. ASU has more to gain than Memphis, but CUSA would be the attraction.

Memphis football is really down right now but he has much to gain by going to Memphis. The pay would probably be a little higher not to mention he goes to a better overall and percieved conference. They can't get any worse and they are already a basketball power and don't have apathetic alumni like ASU will have. Memphis would be a great place to go to turn a program around that shouldn't be as bad as they are.

The pay would be a LOT higher at Memphis. ASU pays its HC less than $200k, Memphis pays well over $700k. That's not a guarantee that he'd be willing to leave after one year, though. The SEC schools have their eyes on Freeze, and if he can build ASU into a Belt powerhouse and OOC contender, he will be a candidate for just about any SEC HC job that opens up in the next few years.

I understand University of Arkansas Offensive Coordinator Garrick McGee has interviewed and one of the top prospects for the job. He's a great recruiter and should make them a lot tougher at least from an offensive standpoint if he's their choice. The recent ESPN Depth Chart was almost as much a McGee promo as it was profiling the Arkansas QB's.

I'd think Mike Leach to UCLA makes the most sense...

Yeah, all the speculation that I've heard has Leach in a PAC12 or Big XII team. I didn't even know there were rumors that he was thinking about a Sun Belt team.

(I remebember yelling Mike Leach in rhythm with the student section just before Dodge was fired)

Thankfully, the UNT Athletic Department Administration did not act upon your yells.

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
