If LSU decides to go in another direction , I don't think I'm going to be laughing when SMU shows up on JJ's doorstep with a briefcase full of 2 million dollars.

I wonder if they would offer him that much, and I also wonder how much we could pay him if it came down to that.

They are getting desperate. I think 2 milllion is about the minimum they would pay anyone right now just to take the gig and save face. Would be a horrible move., but that's 5 x what we are currently paying him

I think if it is any school but LSU, JJ will give us the option of making a competitive offer. Not saying would we be in the ballpark of $2M, but I wonder how high we could go to keep him.

I agree and that's a great question

I've got to think we're already very close to our ceiling, if not there already. We couldn't hit nearly half of what SMU would throw at him. That's assuming SMU is actually considering throwing the same kind of money at JJ and these other candidates that they were throwing at Buzz Williams, and that might be far from the case.

I love Johnny as much as the next guy, but there is not a chance in hell he gets 2 million dollars from anyone. I'd be shocked if he even got offered 1 million. I hope like hell he stays though. But I'm preparing myself for the worst.

LSU pays their womens coach 900K if I recall correctly. I am sure they'd pay JJ at least as much as her if they do in fact hire him.

I'm pretty sure RV would open the pockets just to spite SMU. And, honestly, nobody will take that job. It's a black hole.

He has already opened up his pockets, how does anyone think that NT could or even should match a 1 to 2m salary? Second, anyone who thinks SMU can't buy any coach from NT is going to be wrong almost every time. Some of you seem to have lost touch with reality.

      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.

      UNOFFICIAL UNT VS. UTSA WATCH PARTY THREAD

      Come watch the Mean Green play from directly across the street from the UNT Frisco Campus at Wings Over Frisco Bar & Grill. Pick up some Mean Green swag and sign up for the half time drawing to possibly win UNT prizes. The game video and audio will be broadcast throughout the restaurant. $4 draft beer for anyone in UNT attire! #GoMeanGreen #UNTAlumni

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