[Watching the 2002-2003 Highlight DVDs]

Just to remind myself what a good defense looks like.

[Fritz Update and Jeff Tedford?]

Go get him Rick!!

[Ed Lamb - Southern Utah]

2002-2003 Idaho defensive coordinator ... Hee hee

P.S. That is not a shot at Ed Lamb ... just an expression of irony.

[Tim Horton - Auburn]

He's got a great set of restaurants in Canada.

[Could UNT opt for an NFL assistant?]

OK ... so going back to the original question on this thread, yes, UNT could hire an NFL assistant. 

First choice: Dirk Koetter

Second choice: Jeff Tedford (okay, CFL head coach, but same difference)

[Who Should Be The Next Head Coach @UNT]

Those are valid criticisms, but since we're all playing arm-chair A.D. I figured I would play along.

Quite frankly, I don't give a damn if any coach who accepts the job at North Texas is on anyone's "list."  Would Jeff Tedford or Dirk Koetter be interested in taking a college job again?  I don't know.  But I sure as hell would ask. They wouldn't be the first coach who was out of the college game for several years and then returned. Just off the top of my head, the first one who comes to mind is Steve Spurrier. I believe he was out of the college game for several years before taking the South Carolina job. I think he did quite well in his return.

Are they coaches that I "like?"  You bet your ass they are!  They were both incredibly successful at their respective schools and ran high-powered offenses.

Do they have any Texas ties?  Probably not.  But that's why you hire assistant coaches with Texas ties. They are the ones who do the recruiting anyway. Besides, if you can recruit, you can recruit.  It doesn't matter where the hell you're from.  And if you can coach, you can coach, it doesn't matter where the hell you've been.

 

[Who Should Be The Next Head Coach @UNT]

I guess I'll put in my two cents:

First choice: Dirk Koetter

Second choice: Jeff Tedford

Third choice: Turner Gill

[A question for long term fans]

For all those who say this one football season is worse than the Dodge years, you are effin' crazy!

There is no doubt this season is a complete disaster, but that's just it, it is one season!

Every year that Dodge was here was a disaster!

[DRC column: Here's an outside-the-box coach candidate -- me]

Some of your best work in years Mr. Vito!

[Get Jub Back]

Jdennis82, that is the greatest profile picture of all time!!! I'm lmfao!!!

[Favorite place on campus...]

Most of my time on campus was spent in Wooten Hall, that windowless wonder, or at the Environmental Science Building since I was a History major/Geography minor. But the best part of being on campus,  and in college for that matter,  was watching all the scattered ass walking around campus. I had a long walk between Wooten and the EESAT, but it was usually pretty scenic!

[Chris Cosh Bash Time?]

This defense flat sucks! Can't tackle ... can't cover ... horrible fundamentals. While I believe that talent is ultimately what wins games (or makes strong defenses), this defensive coordinator hasn't shown any ability to make adjustments or instill any confidence. Oh my god, we just scored!

[Traveling to Iowa?]

I will be there! 

Probably the only one dressed in green in section 124.

[** North Texas @ Iowa prediction thread **]

North Texas wins 24-21! 

And I strip off my clothes and go running on the field from section 124!

[Any thoughts on Iowa?]

I'm going with a North Texas UPSET in this game!!!

 

[How 'bout Some More Podcasts?!]

Wow--4 1/2 years between joining and your first post. That has got to be some kind of record.

Don't knock it, better late than never.

[How 'bout Some More Podcasts?!]

How 'bout some more podcasts, boys! I just moved to Kansas City and I'm dying for some information on this team.
