I just got off the phone with Jermaine Antoine, the Louisiana
cornerback who has been committed to UNT for a few weeks. I also talked
with his head coach Trent Delahoussaye this afternoon.


A few outlets are reporting that Antoine has flipped to TCU. Delahoussaye also told me that Antoine is flipping to TCU.


Antoine told me that he wants to talk things through with his parents tonight.


After a while one tends to get a feeling about the way things are
going to go with players. I would be surprised if the Louisiana Class 2A
all-state selection does not end up at TCU at this point.


Delahoussaye pretty much told me that is the way this is going to go,
especially in the wake of Justin Gaines leaving UNT’s staff.

really hoping he can realize the impact he could make here right away.....or the impact his butt will have on the bench he sits on for a few years in ft worth.

I don't believe he would sit in Ft. Worth. If he would be such a big impact here, why would he sit in Ft Worth?

Im going with the fact that he would probably start or play ALOT his freshman year in denton, in ft worth he will probably have to sit behind other's for a while. Hell maybe he wont but just trying to make a general observation as i see it.

It's possible he would start here and redishirt @ TCU... or vice-versa!

And I don't mean to single you out, but that seems to be a pervading thought around here... like we're so terrible, that a starter-caliber guy for UNT would ride pine at TCU. I'd be willing to bet that TCU would love to have Brelan Chancellor or other guys we have here starting for them.

He isn't going to UNT. End of the story. Cut the cord. The coaches need to stop wasting time on him. Give the scholarship to someone else ASAP.

Someone else who deserves it. Tell this kid to take a hike. Exactly. This kid has a bright future as a benchwarmer.

I'm sorry, kids that play mind games with coaches and commit then de-commit to schools can pound sand. Period. I don't want anyone like this on the team.

Yeah, because if we convince a kid to change his commitment from another school, we don't want him.

It's about honoring your word and your commitment. If someone commits to a school, it shows poorly on him to decommit and sign elsewhere. Have some, like, self respect.

Yeah, I hate it when people change their mind when making hugely important life decisions too.

"Changing your mind" is different than committing to a verbal contract and then just turning your back on said verbal contract.

It is not a verbal contract. These verbals are non-binding, therefore not a contract.

So, let's set up a comparison here for you.

You pay $100 for your kid to play football. You buy him pads, helmet, gear and spend hours teaching him how to play. He makes it through three practices and decides he's no longer interested. Since he's used the equipment, you can't return it and you don't get your $100 back. He decides he wants to play baseball now and puts up a fit until you let him play.

Do you condone that kind of behavior?

No.

But this scenario is more akin to Devante Davis' situation, and not Anoine's.

That is a completely different situation. I don't see how this is remotely the same. I would probably allow him to back out. He is a just a kid and kids don't know what they are getting into. I would make him earn the $100 back, assuming that he asked to be in football to begin with. Either way, this is a terrible comparison.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?
