Will be interesting to see who wins out.

“Bart’s a very good coach,” Benford said. “I’m trying to get Rob Evans. SMU wants him. He is going over there tomorrow and is at TCU now. I am trying to get him to come here with me.”

Unfortunately, money usually wins when it comes to assistants, especially an older assistant who has a limited employment time staring him in the face. Going up against 2 private schools who can pay their head coaches 3 to 4 times what we can doesn't bode well for UNT in this situation.

I am just about the only person in the world that is a fan of both programs. I think he is going to end up at UNT. SMU just snagged their DFW recruiter Ulric Maligi from Houston. I think they are only planning on getting one. They really like Evans at SMU but I don't think there is going to be room for him on their staff.

Per CBS...

Illinois State coach Tim Jankovich told CBSSports he is going with Larry Brown to SMU.

If Howard joined staff like early reports, I think SMU has their staff full now.

This is from a Marquette fan who just became a UNT fan. Coach Benford and Coach Lundy are an amazing foundation to continue to build on the success of your program. What a wealth of knowledge in these two coaches. Keep in mind that even with his background Lundy is 7 years younger than Coach Benford. If this doesn't start an incredible run for UNT basketball I will be very surprised. Great hires!

I can't stand the thought of Tim Jankovich at SMU.

Edit- - -Now with a few hours to think, I sort of get a kick out of SMU hiring a guy we fired.

i think this sets us up very well, if benford has some success and a higher program comes calling, we should be able to promote Lundy (who i believe does have some D-1 Head Coaching Experience) This hire is sounding better and better. I would also love Rob Evans. My sports radio contacts here in arkansas say he is a great guy and great recruter (evans was in arkasas under pelfrey for 4 years before tcu last season)

actually,he quit.he refused to play all the "body bag" road games that Helwig[sic?] kept scheduling for big paydays. the A.D.did the same thing to coaches Simon and Dickey, which is how he funded the athletic program.

He resigned knowing he would be terminated if he didn't. His behavior make it clear that it was not his choice to leave.

      Twice as much is only losing by 4. Seth would have lost this game by 20+. Not a single doubt in my mind.

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      The young qb played better than expected for sure but did account for three TOs as well. Probably shouldn’t have been put in the position for the game to completely rely on his performance but that is what Morris did. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      MGN: Post game recap

      Really they didn’t even try. The stats back this up. Our RBs had 12 carries for 53 yards. That’s a respectable 4.4 yards per carry. Not amazing but solid enough to take a little pressure off the passing game. By comparison, TxSt averaged 4.6 but they ended up with over 200 yards because they stuck with the run. The running game didn’t struggle. Morris gave up on it before it could struggle because he doesn’t value the run game. Or he was so intimidated by a SunBelt team that he panicked?

      We picked the wrong quarterback

      The problem wasn’t the QB but rather the game plan. Or more specifically the head coach. I still don’t understand why you build your game plan around a rookie walk-on qb. They barely even tried to run the ball. The stat sheet shows 25 rushing attempts but around 6-7 of those were passing plays when the qb scrambled due to the breakdown of the pass blocking or that abortion of a WR pass with Young. Our RBs had 12 carries. Twelve. Stupid.

      MGN: Post game recap

      Run game definitely struggled. Observation from a lowly fan was the center's snaps were not crisp. There was the bad snap that hit the turf that Mestemaker recovered but there were several others that weren't on target that visibly caused timing to be off. Couple that with the DL regularly being in our backfield right after the snap and it's hard to run. I may be mixing games but I think even remember a TX State player practically meeting our RB at a hand-off. Mestemaker pulled it back and got taken down by a few defenders but there was just no room to get things going on the ground.
