So the only coach whose program has won every year he's coached for 20 years is making only as much as a first year Football assistant? You're right Hedlund wishes he was second-year football coach rather than a 20-year soccer coach.

poor Hedlund.

70k for a more than proven lifelong winner?

and that is a big raise?

If SMU comes and puts 90k on the table he could never say no, could he? Too much of a difference in living standards.

The others seem all about right to me.

I would be surprised if any bigger school would come get Hedlund. SMU isn't interested in a UNT coach who wins games but really nothing big. They think bigger and bring in coaches that have National Coach of the Year honors and a national championship.

Hedlund's coaching personnel choice, tactics, and in-game philosophy drives me crazy. And, it is the kind of style that will never do well for big games-hence why he has never won a single tournament game. We have a hotbed for soccer players in the big city areas of Texas. So we get talent.... the possibilities of what we could actually do with it are far greater than what we really do with it. That is my HSO.

I must add though that Hedlund has done good with his record.... obviously. I am not calling for a resignation or anything. We could have it much worse and I like being always at the top of our conference. But, given what we pay him and his results, I think it is all fine and his pay is adequate.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).

      Any way to see the replay?

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      3 times within 15 yards and walking away with 0 points. There is nothing about that that is on the defense. Emmitt is right.
