North Texas: Sources tell us cornerbacks coach Justin Gaines has resigned to pursue other opportunities.

Well, I'm not a big one on conspiracy theories, but this seems like a very odd time for a hotshot recruiter to "pursue other options". Oh, sorry, I meant "opportunities". And then there is the euphemistic cousin to these, "pursuing other interests".

Heck, I'm just going to make something up. I say he just couldn't wait any longer to get back up to Montana and flyfish for steelhead along the Yellowstone. A river runs through it, y'know. Probably just catch and release.

You're good at lightening the mood at the appropriate time.

People like you are fun to be around.

Hey, maybe we can meet at the first tailgate next year for a drink or something. I'll take coke...in the 12 oz cans, cherry, and regular, not zero.

Haha sounds good to me since I'll still be 20 next football season.

Here's where another cornerbacks coach "left to pursue other opportunities", maybe we could hire him. Unfortunately, his coaching results (119 out of 120 in the FBS) beg the question of how he ever got hired as a college coach after not being around the game since high school, but the guy has a degree from HARVARD LAW and was an assistant for Senator Joe Lieberman, for gosh sakes, and look at this way; he now has college coaching experience! Here's the link:

Let's face it, we need somebody to coach our improved cb recruits. And I'm talking Big 12 coaching experience, baby!

im not sure why you think he wasnt around the game since high school. he was an intern with the chiefs, then a QC, then an assistant cornerbacks coach with another NFL team. he had over two years of NFL coaching experience, as well as having spent weeks learning from mike leach. oh yeah- he just got picked up by another NFL team. UNT would be absolutely thrilled to have him, but he isnt interested.

I had to contact them on twitter yesterday to even get that much posted and to get them to start digging.. Like all the rest of us, they had no clue he had left his position.

Something in all of this is "hinkey". Not sure what, but something.

      What to expect from Odom?

      I would suspect that we've seen the end of the 3-3-5. My guess is that he will go back to the 3-4 we ran through the middle of the season. We have run some 4-2-5 in obvious passing situations. If he is a 4-man front guy, he could use that as a base. I don't really think he will do that. We have to do something to fill more gaps and get a pass rush. You can do either with the fronts we currently have, but in the 3-4 you have to be willing to shade the nose. Caponi absolutely would not do that. We NEVER slid the front or moved the nose off of a zero shade. Brown can be a much bigger factor than he has been. So can our DT's. I just hope we put our kids in a situation where they have a chance. Filling gaps on the LOS from the third level is a good way to give up 500 yards a game. Hopefully we never see that again.

      Usually you’ll have one game during the week and one during the weekend. It’s just how college basketball does things. Our home non-con is atrocious (both teams and dates) but there are some good weekend games in conference.

      Caponi fired

      My guess is that Briles is such an offensive genius and will run the offense that Orr can just come home. But I’d rather have Orr as DC and leave Gary at home.
