    If Caponi stays and they have the same poor results next year I honestly think Morris should be fired as well. If he couldn't bring the right choice the first time, and let them stay around an extra year to waste it, why would we trust him with the next hire? 

    A.  Caponi cannot be fired this year as an assistant with one year left on his contract.  We don't have the money.

    B.  Morris certainly cannot be fired next year with 3 years left on his contract.  We don't have the money.

    How much is he making as an analyst? Bet he's waiting out a P5 OC gig.

    He could afford to take as little as he wanted this season since we're paying him anyway.

    As far as a P5 OC gig, he could have one right now if he wanted.  But the extra time gives him opportunity to be somewhat selective.

    Jimbo was a solid hire. Keep doing what you have always done and keep getting the same results. That's why you are sitting behind a keyboard following me.

    The Elko hire is nothing like the Jimbo hire.  The Jimbo hire was the splashiest hire in A&M's history--exactly what you are asking for.  There's no splash with the Elko hire, but there is substance.

    Not sure how you can say I'm "following you" any more than you're following me.

    Hmmm, maybe I'd better back off on the extension talk for now.  I'll revisit this thread after next week's game.

    I want to apologize for clearly kneejerking on this post.  Get that extension inked today!

  5. By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.

    Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

    Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

    and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

    Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

    Go: Washington

    Thanks for posting this information. I have combed through the data, and it appears Caponi is actually the highest paid assistant among the entire Group of 5. In my opinion, that only makes our defensive performance this season that much more depressing.

    In light of this information and the production we have all witnessed this season.... Do you still think Caponi deserves to be at UNT for another season?

    The information tells us that he would be the most expensive assistant coach to fire in the entire Group of 5.

    After checking 3 different coaching sites,  the answer is not with a 3-3-5. The whole idea of the 3-3-5 is it works as an alternative for teams with smaller, but relatively faster linemen. 

    Could you explain why?

    And if that's the case, shouldn't our smaller D-linemen already be perfect for a 3-3-5?  And why have we been recruiting generally bigger D-linemen since Morris arrived (recently offered a guy 6'5", 325 lbs.)?

    "In theory, the 3-3-5 is fast, malleable and conducive to an undersized defensive line.   If you’re at a place where you have the ability to get a lot of good defensive linemen all the time, you don’t have to go to it,” 

    That doesn't make much sense to me.  If you're putting one guy to stuff the A gap instead of two, that guy is going to have to be bigger.  And since the two ends on either side of him are moving inside with less inside help, it follows that you probably want them a little bigger as well.  Obviously, you can slide LBs up or you can blitz to offset that; but if your base look is a 3-man front, don't you need bigger than you would in a 4-man front?

    2 year contract

    So the correct answer to this thread is "Caponi WILL get another year."  Unless one of our posters here wants to step up with a boatload of cash to buy out an assistant coach, "should" is not a consideration at this point in time.
