If one has been around the UNT football program for the last several years, Spencer Leftwich is a familiar name.

UNT’s former offensive line coach played a big role in UNT’s four-year run as Sun Belt Conference champions back in the early 2000s and then came back for a brief stint before quickly getting out of dodge the first chance he got, taking a job at Tulsa.

Lefty, who is a great guy and just as good a coach, is now the offensive line coach at UTEP. What makes the connection all the more interesting is that UTEP coach Sean Kugler today named Lefty’s son Mack Leftwich the Miners starting quarterback for Saturday’s game between UNT and UTEP. Bret Bloomquist of the El Paso Times has the news.

Wow . . . that's a desperation move, to pull the RS off of him this late in the season.

Big time. They're putting the kid into a tough situation for his first game too. He's a sub 6 foot qb starting his first game as a true freshman. Skladany is going to frustrate him.

The final numbers for his senior year were 177-of-268 passes for 3,331 yards with the 45-4 touchdown-interception ratio, and he rushed for 553 yards on 138 carries with 10 rushing touchdowns.

Pretty salty numbers. And he was the PA POY.

Agreed but PA football ain't nothing like Texas football. We'll see just how salty he is on Sat.

Same can be said for Mullens being the Gatorade AL POY . 3,649 yds. 40-7 TD-INT ratio.

Doesn't matter. Lil' Lefty is considered to be a Dual-threat. I have a feeling he's going to be very impressed with how quickly Zach/Will/Derek get on him if he scrambles. And if Laramie finds him... Lord help him.

I remember watching Mac play a Strickland MS in Denton as QB. Even then he was a very smart player and had a good arm, but of course that was Middle School football. This Saturday will be something completely different!

I really wish we would play clips from Necessary Roughness on the vidja board. Just imagine clips of Popke running around panic stricken after a sack or, or "You must show respect." after a great defensive play.

      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?

      You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
