    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

    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)

    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

    @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

    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.

    interesting to watch, I was very confused from the beginning of Holgorsen's move to Houston, i thought he had a decent gig in West Va.

    It was also interesting to see the move from Houston's part, considering their pretty decent track record working with up and coming coaches. 

    With a buyout like they have (now seems small thanks to our friends in College Station), it will be interesting to see what kind of coach they bring in next.

    Holgo had a background in Texas with his time at Tech. I think Houston paid more too. 

    Also the Houston president said "We fire people at 8-4".... and Holgo only hit that once.

    That’s very true for year two. Year three was like year one.  We were ‘in’ a lot of games but that’s worthless. But with year one and three he was only ‘two plays away’ from winning like 5-6 games. And that got old hearing crap like that. Hell, i even heard Mac say that once and I was like… oh man that’s always a mark of a bad team. 

    I remember his face after we blew the Ohio game in OT..... could've been 2-0. Was downhill from there
