(TheColonyEagle @ November 26 2010, 11:18 PM) Is there an emoticon for shoot myself in the head?

I think there are pros and cons to hire 3 candidates. Fran (head coach exp) yes, but his last stop at New Mexico was not that impressive. Benford (no head coach exp), but high upside. Forrest (no head coach exp), but knows the players, very well. I think RV will make the best choice. Interesting hire!

Good post. On the outside you would think Fran is a slam dunk but it sounds like Benford is making a strong run.I think there are pros and cons to hire 3 candidates.

A couple of really interesting lines from story:
* Multiple sources said Jones has endorsed Fraschilla for the job.
* North Texas is on the verge of possibly moving to Conference USA, according to multiple sources.
* Mitchell could still declare for the NBA draft by Sunday's deadline. Sources said Mitchell is waiting to see who gets the head coaching job before making a decision.
I guess the endorcement of our former winning coach along with Fran's head coaching experience couldn't overcome a guy with neither.

I talked to a Div 1 coach this morning who said Fran told him he did not want to take a pay cut to leave ESPN.

ESPN seriously pays him over 400K a year? Hell, I wouldn't leave that gig either!I talked to a Div 1 coach this morning who said Fran told him he did not want to take a pay cut to leave ESPN.
