UNT Family Man

4-5

As a UTEP graduate (undergrad and UNT graduate school), I have to go for the ZAGS. UTEP (Texas Western at the time)is the only university from Texas to have won the NCAA D-1 crown and I hope it stays that way for a long time. Though Coach Haskins would be pleased with the Baylor Defense.

We have to shoot over 42% from the floor, 36% from three, 75+% from the line (probably 80%), fewer than 10 turnovers and hold them under 62 pts. MG Nation, what say you?

I like our chances against either W. Virginia or Virginia. I actually prefer Virginia since we both play a slower style. Now we play for it all.

Be ready for a lot of W. Kentucky love. Even when we were up 17-0 or leading at the half it was like they had their minds made up that we were not in the same universe as WKU. They were wrong! Shout out to M. McBride for stepping up in the tournament after we lost Jones in the last game of the regular season. I don't know if they do all tournaments teams but he would have made it on the second team but Z. Simmons would have been 1st team for his effort last night alone and the tournament MVP would be Hamlet.

EMBARRASSING! No can score, really?

Why not play Unman? This makes no sense!

Too many turnovers and missed (open threes) shots in the 1st half. Tough loss, but we need to sweep UAB at home.

Smart!

I almost included him in my original post as the exception but look at his record there . . . Over Rated! 0-12, 4-8, 4-9, 3-9 He was innovative prior to NMSU, but my point is you are at NMSU for a reason and it ain't good.

AND. . . .????

Looked so promising until the D-Line hire. I hope I'm wrong, but has any good football coach come out of NMSU?

Year 1 Expectations Under 32pts per game (Under 27pts per game in year 2) establish an identity as the Mean Green stop the run (meaning under 160 per game and in year 2 it should be under 140) under 230 yrd per game passing 18+ turnovers NEVER EVER allow a first down on a 3rd and 15+ ALL YEAR LONG!!!!!!

Excited about this hire. I hope that Seth has been putting the same emphasis on the QB coach and works with Phill to make the other two defensive hires. A base 4-2-5 could see one or both of the Davis boys move back to the extra safety with the OSU linebacker transfer and the twins, Woods, etc. battling for the 2 linebacker spots.

This is truly disappointing!

Jay D-- I think that the thing that most disturbs me the most is that you mentioned in another thread that you thought that this person would still run a base 3-3-5 with "some" 4 man front.

Our guards are struggling.

Agreed!

#3 is not as big a concern since we don't compete in recruiting the top players. Would it be nice? Yes, but not necessary. I would hope that they have experience recruiting the 4 states of Texas, OK, LA, AR.

https://gomocs.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/lorenzo-ward/970 I think he fits the bill. Experienced at many levels (including P5) and has been good over time. Since he is currently at FCS we have the right amount of money.

Well, we will see if it works out for them. I suggested that we hire him as our QB coach right in the middle of the season (after their little stretch was over) but was told how much better of a coach we would hire at the end of the season . . . waiting. Sometimes it is about the right price at the right moment. Of course, I hope we end up in a better position but I'm not holding my breath.

Well deserved.

Both have had their ups and downs over the course of the season, but I give a slight edge to Aune. Then you throw in the fact that Darden isn't in the lineup and then I think you have to reconsider because of Bean's game breaking ability. What is for certain is that this board will be split no matter who starts but we want the same outcome . . . a WIN! GMG

And how many of them could the one trick wonder, Bean, have won?

Bean is a great athlete that has played QB during his career. He couldn't even start at his high school!!!! That screams athlete, not college QB. When are the Bean lovers going to realize this . . . couldn't win his high school's QB job. Aune, at least, was once a high level QB prospect but also played baseball. . . as a professional. Neither have played lights out this year but I would still put my money on the one that has a least seen success (even if at the high school level). That is Aune. Statistically he was better this year after being away from the game for 6-7 years. Please don't get me wrong, I think Bean can contribute but potential or a "higher ceiling" is just unrealized at this point.
