I bet the girl behind him in gold is one of those "He's a real jerk. He didn't look me in the eyes the whole time we were talking" type of person.

I'm actually in the camp now that we're gonna see a few of these players back next season. it's only good business to test the portal waters and possibly leverage Hodge/UNT for as good a deal as possible.
calling it now...Noland and Jones will be back next season. Scott maybe not...he has NBA metrics and upside and a year at a P5 could enhance his overall pro stock.Maybe it helps Hodge's relationship with these guys too. Like "he looks out for me the person"

If SMU offered you $200,000 per year to come post on their fan board (Poneyfans.com) versus GoMeanGreen.com would you? What if LSU or someone else tops that by $50k the following year? In the business world, have you ever been offered substantially more to leave your employer? Or did you stay "loyal" to your company that may have hired you right out of college? It's unfortunate but these are the questions the kids have to make today. Playing and/or starting seems to be secondary. I think I would go get that paycheck my final year of eligibility.
Coaches do this all the time.....
Whatever situation helps my family the most (and myself) is what I'm doing

None of these have been reported by the school or the player, yet. The response I got to bringing this up was that this usually occurs when the players may be testing the waters but would be welcome back. Guess I am showing my age, but if I were the coach, once you decide to enter the portal you are done here. Another poster messaged me with the same feeling. Zero commitment today. All about what I can get for me, period.
Same thing works in the professional world. Surely you'd understand to see what value you can get for yourself

Maybe Drez, but I am still a TP fan. I am on the side of taking a quarter of a million dollars as a college student.

its only a matter of time before fans tire of Rutgers- Cal , SMU- Florida State, Oklahoma- Vanderbilt , or some other random pairing every other year and yearn for the regional world of the past.

Tristan Thompson went into the HOF in 2020. I suspect that all the names being listed will eventually go into the UNT Hall of Fame. Damn shame but this is what it has become over the past few years. Coaches with losing records, players that played here 1 or 2 years, average players etc.
Perry/Hamlet may have only played here 1 or 2 years but they also elevated the program to heights not seen ever

Hamlet was our closer immediately preceding Perry. Before that probably Smart his sophomore year. Prior to Smart you may have to go back to Josh White.
I would even put Huntsberry in there. Tristan Thompson was another one

If we're gonna play FCS, SFA is the type of FCS I like to see. Plus all of you can salivate over Colby Carthel lol

Been a rough season for sure. If we had a closer on this team I could see 5-6 more wins this year. I have faith in Hodge, he's given me that through 5 years as McCasland's #2, and as a winner in the JC ranks.
Only 2 blowout losses this season. Some gritty wins. He is not Benford, thats for sure.-

Burton has totally turned around this team. He's a riser in the college ranks for sure. I feel like we'll get the the NCAAs at least once during his tenure here

Probably moved UNT forward as an institution more than any other president.

Some of you make me wonder.
He has two options (really he has many more).
One, to honor his commitment and play for NT.
Two, to go play for his dad.
IMO, I don't think anyone can find fault with either decision.
Heck, do you think Riley Dodge regrets backing out of playing WR at Texas to play for his dad here? (God those were awful days)

He's doing a fantastic job with the ladies. I'm looking forward to seeing what they cook up for the Mustangs tonight!
Speaking for many here on GMG.com, it's just so "surprising" that a guy could come in here and take over an 11-win team, and already have them at 13-3! I mean, it certainly should not be expected... what, with all of the roster turnover due to the portal, and what Coach Mitchell left him. </sarcasm>
Speaking for myself, it's not surprising when a winner comes in and wins. Immediately. Without excuse. Takes the players he has, brings in complimentary new players, identifies quality staff, injects a winning mindset... which turns into a winning culture, and Voila! Wins pile up!
He's not a good coach "for North Texas". He's a good coach.
I'm glad Coach Burton is here, and I look forward to a deep run in the Conference Tournament! THIS YEAR!
things never said to me in high school

When people say college sports don't matter to a university.
"Since Nick Saban arrived in 2007, Alabama's enrollment has increased from 25,000 students to 40,000 students.
That's a 60% jump compared to a 10% national average.
But the *type* of student matters much more.
Alabama went from the majority of its student body consisting of in-state students to the majority now being from out-of-state.
This is important because those students pay 3x more in annual tuition — $32,000 vs. $11,000 — and it means Alabama increased its annual revenue by hundreds of millions under Nick Saban."

They say athletics is a window to the university

Hopefully better conference opponents this season will bring more fans.
The home non-conference opponents were pretty dull.
unfortunately our team also crapped the bed in non con too...

When have the women been this far over .500 before?

@MeanGreenTexan I get what you mean but I think he did a solid job here. The first 60% of his tenure is already an outmoded way of recruiting. If he goes on to do something better it will be because of what he learned here as a head coach.
Made great hires early on but lack of adjustments, missed development, and poor OC hires post Harrell kind of doomed him.
A nice change of pace from Mac and Dickey, just wish he was out selling the program more when he was here

Congrats to him. That's about as good a landing spot he could have hoped for.
And more importantly, that does offset some of his buyout costs doesn't it?
I'm wondering if he's co-OC if the salaries are split too
i also think he stays put for awhile. SEC OC gigs dont come by often

WVU was about to fire Dana. Dana is friends with Fertitta and had coached here before.
Fertitta got his feelings hurt by Herman and Sumlin leaving, so he wanted coaches who would stay forever. Hence why we ended up with Applewhite and Holgerson.
Both Lincoln Riley and Lane Kiffin were ready to take the job when Applewhite was hired but Fertitta's stupid contract scared them off.
What was the contract?
ill say this, Fertitta and co definitely got the basketball hire right.

There's no way he would take that job. He's had plenty of time to see that program up-close to know better. It'd be a home run hire for UTEP though. .500 football and continuous bowl eligibility would be huge for them.
How much is he making as an analyst? Bet he's waiting out a P5 OC gig.

That place exists on a shoe string budget and has high school facilities. He would be wise to bail now that Harris is gone.
Does he wait next year for Aranada to slip and Baylor to be open? Maybe Arkansas?

Yep. Gave his heart to the program. Can't fault him. His mom was a huge supporter too.
this will always be our issue.
