It would be kinda cool for him to go to SHSU... do real well there... by the time Mac decides to leave we bring him back to run the program.

Not related, but this photo just reminded me that we need to put the Mean Green Battle Flag on the back of the helmets where they (in the above photo) have the outline of Texas. (We currently on the g

Mel Tjeerdsma has been around a long time. He was the head coach at Austin College in Sherman and recruited me when I was graduation from Plano East in 1989.

That's right... I knew his name sounded familiar

They announced 4 finalists today

Those finalists are former Delaware head coach K.C. Keeler, former head coach and current Northwest Missouri State athletic director Mel Tjeersdma, Virginia offensive line coach Scott Wachenheim and former Texas co-offensive coordinator/receivers coach Darrell Wyatt.

Glad Chico is staying...Another winning year at North Texas and he'd have better offers anyway.....IMHO.

I heard Mel Tjeerdsma is pretty much a lock for the job if he wants it. (That is from within the Texas HS football coaches circle)

Not doubting you for a minute, but Mel is getting up there (67 or 68?) and Chico would provide them a much younger option that has significant experience.

Harry,

My friends have been told in more words, if he wants to take the job it will be his. So essentially it's his choice. I would like to see Chico get it and flourish. I am with the others wonder who Mac would go get. He seems to make good hires when position coaches leave but a Coordinator is much, much different.

I'm glad somebody said Sam's a better job than UAB. They would've had 2 national titles if my NDSU Bison weren't in the way (I'm from ND). I wonder how the UAB search went. It's kinda surprising he wouldn't go there over FCS (even though it's not better). UAB may be where coaches go to die career wise.

True... but then again UAB probably pays about 500-600 k while SAM pays about 200-300 k. Money may not be equally important for everyone, and, yes UAB is a horrible job futur wise, but I am sure there are guys out there who value the $ over the other factors.

I hope he gets it and we hire Major Applewhite to replace him, just to give Emmitt a seizure.

Agree! Not only that, but Applewhite has the best knowledge of the personnel we will face in Game One this season.

By the way, I'd also like to see Duane Akina on our coaching staff if at all possible. Underrated coach.

Unfortunate for us but fantastic for him.

Even if he doesn't get the job, or turns it down. This isn't good news right before signing day.

Actually Canales big land was QB Josh Greer who is already signed sealed and delivered But I do get your point from a global offense perspective though.

If we were able to hire Major Applewhite it would probably give our football coaches salary budget a $eizure, right? :hair:

If Chico stayed another year with another winning and bowl bound Mean Green football team his HFC'ing choices would probably be at the FBS level.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
