Since taking over as interim head coach on February 10, Herl has made the best of an extremely awkward situation and has impressed the Ram faithful with his swift action. Less than two weeks after getting the nod, Herl opened practices to the media and openly recruited the community to attend games to support the squad.
In his first game as head coach, CSU scored a season-high 90 points in a win over San Jose State. Three games after that, Herl helped CSU recover from a brutal home loss to Boise State with what was arguably the team’s best performance of the season in a loss at Nevada on Feb. 25.
At 30 years old, Herl is far from the traditional hire, but he is considered one of the prominent young coaches on the rise. In April 2017, Herl was named to Under Armour’s 30-under-30 honorees, recognizing a group of up-and-coming young coaches in men’s college basketball.
More importantly, Herl has shown that he gets what it takes to be a successful young coach in this game. As a former college basketball player, Herl knows where these guys are coming from and can relate to them in ways that most will not be able to comprehend.
He has the recruiting connections to help build up the program right and the acumen to handle the stressful time periods.
Sure, he is incredibly young and would likely be considered a gamble. But the program could get him for a fraction of what they paid Larry Eustachy, and he could immediately bring some stability to a program that desperately needs it.

Herl won his first game as interim head coach against San Jose State, 90-79, but CSU ended the season with five-straight losses to finish 11-21 (4-14 Mountain West). Herl — a Goodland, Kan., native once in line to run the family car dealership — has a strong junior college recruiting background and previously served as head coach at Northwest Kansas Technical College and as an assistant at South Plains (Texas) College.

Looks like he was a player for CSU but transferred to CMU.

Always saddened when one of our investments does not pan out for the University.
I wish the both of them the best in their future endeavors. It is unfortunate that they were put in a position where they would not be successful. In my estimation, neither had any business being recruited by UNT.
I hope, that in the future we will not be saddled with such terrible personnel decisions and frankly laziness. In retrospect, at the QB position it almost appears that Littrell was just rolling the dice and hoping he would win the lottery again like he did with Mason Fine.
So many QB mistakes like Gunnell, Amani Gilmore, Jason Bean, Kason Martin, Cade Pearson and more. The list goes on forever. It is some of the worst QB recruiting percentages in the nation.
I hope that Jared will keep a closer watch of the program health than was done prior to him. Just going to bowls in a crappy conference is not an acceptable barometer of the health of this program which has so much potential under the right leadership.

Might be able to attend today. I love watching Horton with the ball in his hands on offense, not just special teams. I hope the new staff still calls his number a decent amount of times this year on jets, screens, handoffs. Not sure he can be a pure wr but his speed and quickness remind me a lot of Darden, exciting to watch
I get what you are saying hut hebis a little small and much too valuable on special teams to risk injury.

- Febechi Nwaiwu was put on scholarship right before our first game last year. He ended up starting 12 games for us on the offensive line. He played very well.
He’s a stud!!

News flash..... they have always been glorified, uninteresting scrimmages. They have already put in all the work and this is just for show. And yes, it will be boring.

Thousands of workers at universities have gone on strike in 2023 amid new union contract negotiations in demand of pay increases that align with the effect high inflation rates have had on the cost of living.
The strikes are a continuation of wave of industrial action in higher education in the US last year. In late 2022, 48,000 graduate workers and post-doctoral researchers went on strike throughout the University of California system, the largest strikein US higher education history. There were 15 academic strikes in the US in 2022, the highest number of strikes in academia in at least 20 years.
On 11 April, about 280 faculty and staff at Governors State University in Illinois went on strike, joining around 100 faculty at Chicago State University and 300 faculty at Eastern Illinois University who began striking earlier this month in demand for fair pay increases.
The University of Michigan recently lost an attempt to obtain a court injunction against 2,300 graduate workers who began striking on 29 March, after a judge denied the request to issue an injunction to halt the strike.
The unions criticized Rutgers’ role in soaring rent costs in the area given the university is the largest landlord in the New Brunswick, New Jersey, area. The university system has also been criticized for poor investments of endowment funds and overspending on sports programs.

Some forms seemingly were meant for current UNT-related activities, and The Eagles Nest was supposed to be "others." No problem with posting follow-ups, but put them where they belong, and the Mods should be consistent - some things get moved, and others do not.
I concur

She is long gone from here. Why is this here 💩
So when someone leaves UNT should we ignore the rest of their career? Not understanding your point.

Neat that they have started a scholarship fund in his name.

So every time we get solid, productive players to Denton, and they are all-everything, shoot lights out, and are instrumental in getting us another super season or two, y’all are OK with them moving on to another school for money because that’s how the game is now played? Am I correct?
Well I’m not OK with it! Long-term NT will never survive.
I am not either and the ones who claim to be are being disingenuous.

So is it in the Light The Tower NIL’s best interest to write out a big check to Tylor for basically one year or use that money to lure a younger replacement from the portal, who will have used up his free transfer year by coming here? I am interested as to how you can best utilize the collective. Also what happens if a school repeatedly has NIL money busts on players who do not produce? Does that start to impact the giving amount?

Why SMU may be a favorite to win the AAC next year

Yes and ever since we were admitted, SMU fans on the site are reminding us they have one foot out the door already. Yes I will grant you ECU on the road is one tough game, but not having to play Tulane, nUTSAck and UAB is big deal.
