If CJ and Jordan can play like they are capable of and have before in the past few years we will be in line for a lot of wins this season... But as of now it's looking very dim :/

Idaho 58 NT 40 15:24 to go I'm out fellas. I really hate to be brought to my knees like this. It's time for me to count how many days since the Alabama-Huntsville loss again.

If I cared to I would pull up my very old posts when I was one of the few who defended JJ when times looked rough. I was going to be queit until the end of the season but this guy has to go.

I was more impressed with how we were able to dig deep and pull out the win against Northwood. I mean, we would've lost that game last year.

Good point. Wasn't that Keith Coleman's coming out party?

The way this team is playing now, it's going to very difficult for to get to double digits in the win column by season's end. If I had to predict, I'd say there's a legitimate chance this team does not win a conference game. Yes, it's that bad. Columbia was picked either last or near last place in most preseason Ivy League polls. Idaho is playing in watered down WAC. Tony Benford has managed to take a program that was on the cusp of top 25 status and turn it into a cellar dweller seemingly overnight. Nothing has taken place to suggest there'll be much improvement either as the season goes on.

I wish this coach no ill. In fact I wish him well and hope that he enjoys a successful career in whatever profession or endeavor his life takes him. That endeavor and that direction is not and can never be as head coach of the North Texas Men's Basketball program. This debacle must be corrected and it must be corrected now. I don't know if the AD has the authority to fix this but I do know that every day the AD does nothing places the AD himself one step closer to the exit door. North Texas would be better off with an interim head coach for the remainder of the season. At the very least that would indicate that we have an administration that understands the importance of demonstrating concern for the student-athletes, current/past/future students, and general public perception of the university.
It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out with the new president.
It seems to be the perfect opportunity for him to demonstrate where he stands on the importance of perpetuating successful athletic programs.

Totally agree, except that the new president is not here yet and really has to wait 21 days even doing things unofficially, before the board approves him... and this can't wait that long. So this is on the current people.

Those who still continue to back Benford...are just like those who continued to back Dodge. I hope our soon-to-be new President fires RV if he doesn't address this situation soon. Honestly, I love RV's passion and have no doubt he works his tail off...but let's be realistic, he doesn't have the best track record when it comes to hiring quality head coaches. What happened to hiring a head coach with previous proven experience? That really bothers me...the fact that he didn't stick to his word on that.

You are correct, the situation cannot linger another month. And in view of that, it is my hope that Dr. Rawlins takes on the duty, however unpleasant the task might be. Effective leaders do those things.

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      Mean Green add four coaches to defensive staff room For more information: Doug Waters, doug.waters@unt.edu, (936) 240-6780 DENTON – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of four coaches to the staff on the defensive side of the football. The Mean Green have added Reggie Johnson (Inside Linebackers), Greg Richmond (Defensive Ends), Julian Wilson (Defensive Backs) and Ike Eguae (Defensive Tackles) to the staff. “We are extremely excited to add these guys to our defensive staff,” head coach Eric Morris said. “They bring a ton of knowledge, experience and passion to our coaching room. I can’t wait to work all of them as we look to continue to compete for championships here at North Texas.” All four coaches join the UNT staff after spending the 2024 season at Sam Houston working under new defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity. In addition, current Interim Defensive Coordinator Brian Odom will return for a second season. He will now coach outside linebackers and nickels. A 25-year veteran, Johnson joins the UNT staff after coaching linebackers at Sam Houston in 2024, helping the Bearkats finish the season 19th in FBS in total defense. Johnson’s resume includes coaching in 11 bowl games, including trips to the 2005 Gator Bowl, the 2006 Orange Bowl, the 2010 Sugar Bowl and the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Johnson spent four seasons coaching linebackers at Missouri State, helping the Bears to the 2021 MVFC Championship and their first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 30 years. Richmond also comes to UNT with a wealth of experience with nearly 15 years of collegiate coaching experience. At Sam Houston in 2024, Richmond helped the Bearkats finish 16th in FBS in fumbles forced and second in Conference USA in sacks. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Richmond was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma State from 2018-22, producing a pair of First Team All-Big 12 defensive linemen and helping OSU rank among the national leaders in tackles for loss three straight seasons. Wilson joins the staff as the defensive backs coach after serving in the same role with the Bearkats in 2024. Under his watch, Sam Houston finished the regular season ranked as the No. 10 passing defense in FBS and led C-USA with 12 interceptions on the year. Wilson was the defensive backs coach at Abilene Christian in 2022-23 and served as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech from 2020-21. Wilson was also a dynamic defensive back himself, spending three seasons (2015-17) in the NFL with the Chiefs, Ravens and Vikings after a stellar collegiate playing career at Oklahoma from 2011-14. Eguae has been the defensive line coach for Sam Houston each of the last two seasons and will coach defensive tackles for the Mean Green. He has helped the Bearkats finish second in C-USA in rushing defense each of the past two seasons. An 18-year coaching veteran, Eguae also had prior stops at Stephen F. Austin, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Coffeyville CC. In his one year at SFA, Eguae coached a pair of FCS All-Americans on the defensive line and helped the Lumberjacks earn a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. -- GMG --

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      On the surface, this seems bad for HS grads. Really good for P4s. If you are a HS senior, your chances of playing D1...baseball especially, out of HS is severely diminished. A D1 baseball coach has way better options now than taking a chance on a HS kid. The whole model has changed and it effects all sports. Think about football. The days of recruiting a kid and developing him are over. Saw in another thread about our incoming QB from Miami. Someone asked (and it's a good question): "if he was the back up, the Heisman candidate starter just left. Isn't it his job? Why would he leave?" Because that coach doesn't care about him. He's scouring the transfer portal looking for his next Cam Ward. (just like he did with the real Cam Ward). Chances are the Miami staff is looking for a bigger, better deal. If you're a D1 baseball or basketball coach, the talent pool of 21 year old, developed, experienced players just opened up. HS kids are going to get pushed out. The transfer portal is going to get crazier to. College players are going to be used, moved, basically traded... With NIL, players are going to stay in college longer too. Saw something the other day: Every SEC starting QB makes more $$ than Brock Purdy, a Superbowl starting 3rd year NFL QB.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      College football could become a career especially when you look at salaries for QB's. Basically the Michigan qb could retire after four years. So we are going to see more 24 and 25 year olds in college sports? Does this hurt the NFL?
