  2. This thread is why I am against bringing in a grad transfer QB. We recruited all these high level players to compete to replace Fine and I want to see them develop. Let’s see what we have. I mean, we are replacing both coordinators on top of losing most of the line and our QB (possibly our top WR also). I can’t look at next year’s schedule and find a lot of wins. So let’s build a solid foundation at QB instead of bringing in a one year fix and probably losing one or more of these guys to transfer.

  5. I've got 7-5, should be able to go 6-1 after a brutal first half but will likely drop one that we shouldn't so I'm just hoping we can get back to a bowl game and go into 2021 strong. Also will be interesting to see how healthy we are after playing 3 teams that should have a pretty decent size/speed advantage over us.

  6. BTW - where is Vito? Haven’t seen him around here since the DRC went all paywall. And I agree this is going to be a tough schedule.

  7. Always thought this was a somewhat flawed take. He would also be facing more football/B12 talent than what he faced here. I can't get past that 4-8 record. None of this Seth-to-Baylor talk should be taken too seriously. If he's a finalist, somebody hire Seth's agent into our staff to recruit HS kids.

  13. He definitely has good wheels . . . but I'm skeptical on how high his ceiling is. He certainly does not pose a threat to break tackles like Tim Tebow or even J'Mar Smith. He throws a pretty looking ball, tight spiral and all, but it seems 1 out of 4 of his passes is a terrible miss or a terrible decision. I think he will probably win the starting position by default, and I'll be cheering on his development. But he hasn't shown me nearly as much as Mason Fine had this many snaps into his college career.

  18. Haven't seen a pocket at UNT for several years now. So it sounds like you've seen all you need to see and he's a shoo-in for the starting job. Haha

  19. Just realized former North Texas tight end Beau Davidson is an offensive quality control coach with Virginia Tech. His dad was an offensive lineman for us that went on to play with the Oilers. Beau has a good amount of Both Texas high school and lower level college experience as a D-line coach, O-line coach, and DC.

  23. Its between Bean and Aune. Nobody else is even close. (unless there's a surprise transfer) - Both will get their shot this spring. May the best man win.

  24. I’m hoping Aune (pronounced Aune) turns his potential into reality. Bean is fast but he looks very light and I worry about his health over a full season. Time will tell.

  27. Are there any NT fans planning to go to this game ?

  28. Yes but as far as a quarterback goes, is a 4.2 or 4.3 vs a 4.6 40 yard dash worth measurably reduced accuracy, arm strength, and the ability to read a defense? I get wanting 4.2 speed out of a wide receiver but straight line speed isn't as important for a quarterback as agility and the ability to move laterally. Bean reminds me more of the RG3/Vince Young mold where they can go if they get loose but they don't get out of trouble as often as someone with the ability to juke like a Michael Vick or Lamar Jackson.

  30. @TheReal_jayD, out of curiousity, how much faster is Bean than Aune? Not in the 100m but in something realistic to football, like a 20 or 40 yard dash? It seems to me that they are both considerably faster than Fine ever was. Aune looks at the worst, just as fast as Shanbour was and he was a much better running threat than Mason.

  31. Overall about as good as we could hope for on the Conference portion. The home back-to-back is at a perfect time of year, the road back-to-back has the bye in between, no home games on either Halloween or Thanksgiving weekend. Still stuck with NASCAR weekend but that's the visitors' problem.

  33. Kason Martin - https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/kason-martin/4070 Kid is just a winner. He is a goof off in practice which is why he has been #3-6 on the chart. I am betting that now that the position is open he will button down and show what he is really made of. There was this other winner who was 3 deep on the charts that surprised the hell out of us a few years ago. His lack of focus at practice may keep him from opening the season as number 1 but in my opinion Kuehne or Martin will end the season starting and will start for the next several years. You can not teach someone to be a winner, but you can teach a winner to be a leader. From what I have seen Bean and Aune have everything on paper (size, speed) but I have yet to see them do anything that makes me excited to see them next year.

  34. Aune was warming up to come in for Fine when he got banged up against Rice. After that La Tech game he was the backup for the rest of the year, even though we only saw Fine.

  35. Frankly, I’ll agree. I fear we have seen the best he could do as a head coach here. Hoping that’s not right, but I can rather easily see him here for 2-3 more years and never getting back to a 9-win season.

  38. What I like about Aune is his composure. When he is in the pocket he looks so relaxed and un-phased. He has a strong arm as well. Im hoping he gets the nod next year, but all in all....if we’re winning I won’t care who’s in there. #GMG

  40. Well, Well, Well maybe this is why he has named an OC yet. String us along again, no denial or no interest statement so he is gone if they offer it. If I was Were I start looking at resumes just in case because we will need to move fast. If he bolts what will be holding this team together, a new DC?

  43. I just don't know how the players at that level are able to handle academics as well as a true championship bracket, yet the teams making millions at the FBS level are not able to do the same. It just boggles the mind.

  44. I would look at a couple of things. First, the development of recruits. LaDarius Hamilton(Sr) and Dion Novil (Jr) have shown improvement year to year. I'd also see if linemen never pressured the passer, which wasn't the case this year. It was usually our 3 Dlinemen that were creating the most pressure on the QB, which is especially commendable for Dion Novil at nose tackle who typically got double teamed (Novil was tied for 3rd in sacks) . It was the other positions (Jack LB, LBs, DBs) that could not generate the pressure we needed them to, though to be fair both KD Davis and Tyreke Davis at LB struggled with injuries at times. If I'm not mistaken, in this type of system, you should see a lot of sacks from LBs and DBs. I know part of the staff's reason for picking the 3-3-5 was concern over depth in the Dline. I don't really have a good measuring stick to see how good or bad Yellock was doing, I just didn't see a lot of bad stuff out of the Dline on defense. My bigger complaint was linebacker and defensive backs. In 2018 with EJ and Brandon Gardner at LB, and Brooks at cornerback we had the personnel to run the 3-3-5 well. With the turnover and no real studs coming into those positions, we couldn't run the 3-3-5 well. I don't know how he was as a recruiter either. Maybe there were some deficiencies there but I think the main reason he was let go was probably because our new DC has one or two guys in mind that he likes more.
