So I am looking at all the information and analysis of UNT's recruiting class and I can't help but think about what could have been. Yes Darrell Dickey's last 2 seasons were bad but, 4 consecutive conference titles and: Phil Armour center, Indianapolis Colts (2000) Adrian Awasom defensive end, New York Giants (2005–2007), Minnesota Vikings (2011) John Baker punter, St. Louis Rams (2000–2001): Punted for the Rams during their Super Bowl XXXVI season. Patrick Cobbs running back, Miami Dolphins (2006–2010) Brad Kassell linebacker, Tennessee Titans (2002–2005), New York Jets (2006–2007) Cody Spencer linebacker, Tennessee Titans (2004–2005), New York Jets (2006–2008) Brian Waters guard, Dallas Cowboys (1999, 2013) Kansas City Chiefs (2000–2010), New England Patriots (2011): Pro Bowl (2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010), First Team All-Pro (2004, 2005), NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year Award winner (2009) Just saying he did a lot of things right and should have been given more resources to work with. I can't help but think we ruined our chances to be good now being short sighted then. Maybe if we had hired a "John Mac" type back then with college coaching experience and a staff with coaching connections in Texas high schools UNT would be a solid G5 program on par with Houston. The moral of this story is patience and try to see the big picture. UNT hired a first time FBS head coach so they need to give him at least 3 years get this program right. And for God's sake if Seth is fired 2 years from now, UNT needs to put on big boy pants. That mean going to get a big name coach who can recruit to "His" brand not UNT's. I am talking somebody Chip Kelly like otherwise like someone said in another post "continue to be like the Cleveland Browns"

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

Was this our most decisive, complete win in nearly a decade? The stats across the board lend me to think so. But again, I came in 2009...
