3 year extension.

RV and the BOR shouldn't bite off more than they can chew (don't extend longer than you are willing to pay off).

It was 9-4, not 14-0. Lets not make decisions based on emotion.

I agree...this is just bad business...many of the teams we played were in bottom of rankings, but we did beat them soundly...but I think another year before we go totally off the cliff...maybe lifetime if next season goes well.

I hope they don't call it a "lifetime" contract and I suspect it will not. Mac likely told them he would coach a few more years, similar to Rawlins saying he would lead a few more years. Would be could to get him signed to a 5 year deal. If longer, perhaps there is a clause to keep him in the action by moving him to the "front office".

No Lifetime Contract, Yet!?!?

1-2 yrs now and if he has a similar year next year with his recruits running the ship then I am all about letting him have the reigns, but HELL NO right now.

Besides RV needs to be more worried about the train wrecks in the Super Pit and his own job.

He is committed to building this program, has shown he knows what he is doing, connects with students and fans of all ages, is a great representative for North Texas, brings passion to the position that I have never seen at North Texas and brings respect to our program. Great move.

I think I lean your way a little, although I'll be anxious to see the details of the contract.

It was a very nice season? guys it was at worst the third best season in the HISTORY of this program! I think you could make a strong argument it was the best. Look at the culture change this man has instilled. He won't coach forever but I think locking up a guy of Mac's caliber for the duration of his career is pretty unique and would serve our program extremely well in the eyes of recruits and families. After the Dodge and Dickey nightmare endings we need a stable period of growth. Mac could provide this.

I wonder if Penn St felt the same way back in the day. That guy wouldn't leave peacefully even after being the cause of the worst scandal in college football history.

This is pure emotion, Harry.

There was no conference championship and a failure to achieve that goal against an 8 point dog (in sooo many ways) that we played at Apogee.

Again, it's great to have a winning season for a change, but what happens if we pull a USM and win 2 games next year? Do I think this happens? No. But what if it does?

Lifetime contract means Mac gets to decide when he leaves. That is NEVER a good idea.

And it's just a plain bad business decision.

You know this how?

Oh, wait, just conjecture on your part. Shocking.

Easy on Dickey.... He wasn't a fan favorite but he did do four things Mac hasn't done for our school yet...

As far as a lifetime contract, I like the symbolic nature and what it says to the recruits about our commitment to them and the program, but its a little soon in Mac's tenure here to reward him that..... two more bowl births and a conference championship in the next two years and I'm all on board, not till then.

Why give him a lifetime contract? Just up his salary, extend him for a few more years and make him happy. Even the good and great coaches eventually lose their way and I am sorry but this would be a disastrous mistake. This may have been the best season in NT to some but that to me explains just how our football history has been to us. Run the program the right way and don't get carried away. Let's not forget the man was 56-85 at Iowa State.

      Sources: East Carolina to promote Blake Harrell to head coach

      Yes, lol. Timing is everything for an interim seeking the permanent job.

      If it worked at UIW why not here?

      4 years with 1 good season is not enough to determine how good a head coach is. There's absolutely zero reason to believe that singular good season isn't an outlier. The sample size is just too small. Based on these first two seasons at UNT, I think it's more than fair to question his ability to build and sustain a winning program.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      I agree I'd like to see where those schools get the dollars to buy out 3-year's worth of head coach salary. It's time for G5 programs to go to 2-3 year head coaching contracts max. If the guy is really good he will leave anyway for a P4 job. If he's really bad you want him gone, and if he has potential then add extensions as needed...but not Seth type extensions...so be careful!

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      I would also like to see Vice and Mason get more minutes. They looked good in the limited action I saw them. Senior privilege minutes for Sissoko and Stone are at the expense of better players.

      The Band

      I know this isn't the most important topic, but I was curious as to what others thought. I live across the country so I can't attend games unfortunately, but from watching it on TV is it just me or has the band declined in quality in the last few years? When the camera shows them they look undisciplined/inattentive, some are just wandering around chatting. I see other bands together and ready to play as soon as a play is over. The size seems to have ballooned and now sprawls across 2 sections of the stands, and despite that they sound worse. The director also doesn't seem to know that the purpose of the band is to hype up the team/crowd, and put pressure on the opposing team on 3rd downs. Play something intimidating on 3rd down! When they do play it seems like they just have a bank of songs they go through in order without considering the situation on the field. The selection of music is bad, and it doesn't seem like they have any variety of songs to connect with the crowd, many bands will play classic and modern hits to get the crowd into things. Like I said I don't know if this is true or not since I can only judge on what I see on broadcasts, what's the in-game experience like?
