Wasn't he just named head coach at Claflin (sp?) recently ?

Interesting to say the least.

So who's going to bring up the elephant in the room? I don't want to be the one to do it.

Are you talking about our basketball program? I thought there was a whole herd in the room.

Does this guy not feed his babies or something?

Maybe, but I was referring more to a certain assistant Coach that just got hired.

We just need someone to keep the seat warm until 2015, when the show-cause expires on Dave Bliss.

Funny that ihad to find this out from my friend but there are a lot of people out there excited about this move. Apparently it makes us like the "big boys". I am happy were are bringing in experienced coaches and apparently this is another name that catches a lot of attention around the country. He is well liked and respected from what I have heard and seen. A good choice for now... I have only heard about him through the grapevine though.

Man! this guy just missed hanging with Jerry Rice by less than 3 years.

So...that seems cool.

Wow man for a true freshman Josh Friar is huge... Coleman a physical specimen as well! Wish we could suit them up on the d-line!

Because of my hearing impairment, I have been reading body language for almost 70 years during which time I have been a North Texas fan. In my opinion, Rick V's intro of Coach Mac was not the most comfortable moment and his intro of Coach Benford was even more difficult. I just watched this vid and I am not feeling so good right now. It all starts at the top. Jesus.

Yep, let the games begin.

I don't think the problem goes that high up.

So, do we now just hope that we aren't on probation when Benford leaves?

A really, really, really, unbelievable hire.

Seriously, we hired someone with this shady of a past? If we're gonna cheat, we better damn well win.

You know a guy has his ethical compass realigned correctly when he commits to lead a program and bails out 2 months later, having gotten there from a school (Northern Colorado) where he was supposedly an assistant coach (at least, that's what the Clafin press release from 9 weeks ago says), but isn't listed on their website or visible in the team photo, and isn't identified in any of the game notes as a member of the coaching or support staff.

Maybe he was just there for grad school?
