Definitely, and on an expense account. Justified because he is there on business. He's seeing how its done at that level so he can implement some of those things into his system. See below.

Do you think Tony Benford is in Houston watching the National Championship game tonight ?

Actually ran into him at the NABC convention on Friday and did an interview with him....

Already getting his resume out there for next year, eh?...

Naw, every coach, NAIA- Division 1 is out there.... ran into Shaka Smart, Jim Groce, Rob Evans, some Wake Forest guys. Great networking and there are required meetings for coaches to go to. Though I did hear some interesting rumors...

Well????

So I was talking to a coach (not gonna say who or what school in case he reads this board) but we got to talking about benford, and his thought was that if Benford has another bad season, UNT might go after a coach currently coaching in the junior college ranks.... Billy Gillespie.

if Gillespie has another successful season he won't be coming to UNT.

I don't know about that. BCG is damaged goods. A mid-major or lower will be his return to coaching D-1. UNT would be perfect for him on several levels. One, its in Texas, where he is from and keeps him near his family and friends, as well as HS and Juco coaches he knows very well. He won't EVER have to deal with fans pestering him, which he is known to hate, because of his proclivity towards being fairly private. At his last few stops, his alcohol issues seem to have stemmed from being a private guy in places that the alumni demanded a lot of attention (i.e, UK, A&M, and Tech). Here, he'd have about 30 people that he might have to even get to know on a first name basis, nor would he have to glad-hand a bunch of adoring alumni at various events. He'd probably go to about one roadshow a year, if that.

I would think BCG would be very attainable here, if both parties were interested. But I don't see RV hiring BCG, who is known to not get along real well with ADs anyway, much less ones who are an institution within the institution like RV apparently is here.

Good points, however I was merely speaking to his coaching ability not necessarily the other.  I do see your points, I just think if he proves he can win big time again that someone may take a chance on him.

And, hey, if he did have alcohol issues here, he knows he won't be fired for cause...

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      But I don't see this a move down....more of a "not moving up" For this to take shape, you have to assume that the "highest official classification" is going to change. It's gonna be 30-40 teams. This isn't like going FCS in the '80s. It's not even close....the entire landscape has changed. NIL, transfer portal, ESPN, media.....nothing today resembles 1988. The "highest official classification" is just a label. It's unofficially the SEC/Big 10 now...even the Big 12 is not stable...P5 is going to P2. We have to stop thinking that because an Oregon State has "always been a Power conference school" that they will continue to be one. Boston College? SMU? LOL. The math has changed. Alabama, Ohio State and Texas are so far removed from the lower P5s and G5s that snow ball is moving at warp speed down the mountain. Them along with ESPN run college football now and what they want, they will get. I don't think Ohio State really cares about Washington St.... We (current G5 plus the P5 "hanger ons") aren't going to be able to keep up with this new world... I think this proposal is a new classification...not moving down to an existing one. Just my humble opinion....

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      Sigh. I don't want you to take this the wrong way but this might be most ill-informed and ignorant take on the current ACC situation I've seen yet. And that's saying something. FACTS: You need a majority of schools to vote to dissolve the conference. Well, you just added three sure-fire "NO" votes in CAL, SMU, and Stanford. Now tell me. Where are you going to find the other votes needed to dissolve the conference? Duke? Nope. WF? Nope. Miami? Nope. PITT? Nope. Louisville? Nope. Georgia Tech? Nope. Syracuse? Nope. Boston College? Nope. Notre Dame? Nope. Virginia Tech? Nope. I realize you hate SMU and that the G5 split that's coming sucks but c'mon man.
