  1. http://www.hammerandrails.com/2016/12/2/13817108/report-jeff-brohm-purdue-rumors-pj-fleck Would be interesting to see who would inherit the program if this were true.
  2. With the new regime on board I hope do more celebrate the athletic history of UNT. After the Joe Green statue, I think next person that should be honored in a bigger way is Coach Mitchell. If Joe is our "Willie Mayes" who came after our Jackie Robinsons :(King & Hayes) would it be wrong to call Odus Mithell our Branch Rickey? Even when I do a Google search on this coach it seems like his legacy is deliberately diminished. He led North Texas to the most conference titles as head coach also. The total is mentioned but the fact that is the most in the history of the school's football program isn't. And the fact is that there are probably no "Mean" Joe Greens on campus for Hayden Frye to coach to greatness without Odus Mitchell making the decision to integrate his team. Or at very the least his decision not to stand in the way of the person who made call paved the way. How instrumental was Odus Mitchell to the integration of UNT Football? I can only theorize because I wasn't there and my internet research has revealed little. Even the DRC article honoring 100 years of UNT football (circa 2013) doesn't even mention Mitchell while documenting the story of Abner and King. It does however mention the JV coach? http://www.dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/north-texas-headlines/20130728-football-eras-of-success.ece?ssimg=1121938 No offense to the JV coach but I bet his head wasn't going to be the biggest head to roll if integration was a failure for UNT Football.
  3. I have been monitoring the board more frequently now that we are getting really close to signing day and I am confused. I am confused because I am reading all these posts from disappointed fans. When I superficially evaluate FBS programs I look at this like brands. The most powerful factor in recruiting in my humble option is a combination of the school's athletic/academic brand and the head coach's brand. I have seen criticism of every coach we have had since 2000 including Darrell Dickey. UNT will always be able to get players but how do you get some players to choose UNT over our geographical G5 level rivals? Cause simplistically that is what it comes down to: Can you get the recruit with offers from Tulsa, UTSA, SMU and/or Texas State to come UNT? I think is clear to this point that Seth does not have a unique brand that winning over recruits with multiple FBS level offers. That is no shot at Seth because you can count those coaches on your hands. And you have to offer those guys an insanely high salary to even accept an interview here. No one has really knocked our socks off here when it comes to recruiting since maybe Hayden Frye? Everyone else has been bad or at best respectable. We don't have athletic department that seems to have the first clue about building a brand or making the game day experience at Apogee unique. So until then I will judge recruiting classes by season that preceded them. This is not a defense of Seth but a serious question, if you were Seth what do you think you could do better? I want to know and hopefully if it is good Seth or someone on his staff will read it.
  4. To celebrate a new era in UNT Football I think we should honor the past in the opening home game next season. And I think the Alumni Pavilion could a small expansion and minor improvements. Can we get the Alumni Pavilion renamed for Odus Mitchell and announce the name change and expansion plans next September? If you need a history lesson (like I did) here is a link below. For this I might show up for debut of the Seth Littrell era at UNT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odus_Mitchell
  5. http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/minnesota-gophers-tracy-claeys-head-coach-deal-jerry-kill-three-years-111115 Minnesota has dropped the "interim" from football coach Tracy Claeys' title and signed him to a three-year contract at $1.4 million in year one, $1.5 million in year two and $1.6 million in year three. Jerry Kill resigned two weeks ago because of difficulty managing his epilepsy and the job. Kill had received an August raise putting his deal at $2.5 million a year. Claeys, who was the acting head coach in 2013 also, has a buyout that's half of the base salaries left on the deal.
  6. Most of the candidates we have discussed on the forum already have jobs. I think getting someone desirable who already has a job to come here is a long shot here with so many other vacancies available. I believe if they are to hire a coach and keep RV they should hire someone now, to try to salvage whatever they can from the years recruiting class. When Pep Hamilton was fired from the Colts it got me to thinking. Could we put together a pretty good staff right now of all out-of-work coaches? I don't know about Pep Hamilton as a head coach but I would love him to replace Canales as assistant head coach/offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. And if we ran a pro-style offense that could be a recruiting tool for quarterbacks who have serious NFL aspirations. The spread is popular but if you can't master some the basic pro-style passing progressions you won't be a success in the NFL just ask (plug in Heisman Trophy candidate/winner spread offense running QB name here). Pep Hamilton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pep_Hamilton Please limit you responses to coaches who are currently out of work. Offensive Coordinator: ? Defensive Coordinator: ? Quarterbacks Coach: ? Wide Receivers Coach: ? Defensive Line Coach: ? Offensive Line Coach: ?
  7. Normally in an FBS coaching search you'd hear about a few hometown favorites who went to the school and are in the coaching fraternity. Are there any current/recent FBS coaches and assistants out there who went to North Texas? The only one I came up with in a search is Bruce Chambers, a running backs and tight end coach at UT from 1998 to 2014 who played for UNT as a wide receiver from 1979 to 1982.
