I wonder if he wasn't encouraged to leave. TCU may want to make a splash with a name hire going into the Big 12.

Although TCU was better last year, it's not like they were setting the world on fire in the MWC, far easier competition than the Big 12.

And no, JJ won't get a serious look for either of these jobs. Both will want a name hire going into much more high profile conferences.

After thinking a little more on this, I don't think he was necessarily encouraged to leave, but he may have been under extra pressure in the coming season or 2 considering how long he had been at tcu. Couple the tougher conference, with losing a couple components to this years' team and he may have felt that he had to make the first move with an opportunity to take over a program like Ohio and his wife being from there. It makes sense to me now.

That will hurt to lose JJ. I'd guess we would lose Tony unless we got a big name to replace..

To be perfectly honest, I get the feeling that if Tony stays, it will be because of his teammates, not his coach. With everyone back, this team should do big things, regardless of who the coach is. That said, I hope Johnny stays.

      This guy can coach

      The current Leadership at UNT would have never considered this guy when he was cheap enough to hire here and clear he could coach (near end of tenure at Elon or his start at James Madison). I will tell you why. 1. Not no ties to Texas or Big 12 after 1990. 2. Not a well known “Air Raid/Spread Guru” All this makes me wonder does our athletic department do after action report on football coaches that end being very successful at programs that aren’t historically successful. I think it would be extremely helpful doing that for coaches we passed on or never got on our radar but maybe should have during a HC transition. If I were hired as AD, other than a budget review, reviewing our hiring processes for Football head coaches and the “ones who got away” would be my first order of business. If Eric Morris completes his time here without winning a bowl game or conference championship and extensive review of everything we do that setups our football program to win should be reviewed.

      Speaking of…Magic Mike Norvell just fired his OC, DC and WR coach. Would we be interested in any of them?
