Periscope had it up, love what I heard from him. Didn't take the bait and bash Mac, talked about it being a decision to lock arms and play for each other and the university. Wants to allow d. Smith to use his talent and stretch the field vertically, and said Smith mis called 5-6 plays vs southern Miss and showed better ability Saturday to change plays and get us lined up correct.  Open, honest and fired up.  I will definitely be tuning in Thursday night, may even make the drive up.

Good comments from Chico. I think he genuinely likes Mac. Would not take multiple opportunities to blame him or say something bad. Would not name starting QB, but talked about Smith's talent. Also talked about the need to know the offense to make it work. Plans to open things up both offensively and defensively. Specifically mentioned blitzing more. Wants to make it fun for the players.

He danced around the QB question (didn't want to name someone WKU could prepare for), but he dropped hints and smiled the whole time. "You'll be happy."

It's Smith y'all.

As far as defense, he also mentioned going man. WOO!

Let those kids play some football!

I think Chico is much more aware of what the players and fans want. Mac's stubbornness and super-conservative 1970's play style cost him his job. He never took chances, always played it safe. The fans know the potential for North Texas and I think he does too. He knows he has to take some chances. Will it backfire? Maybe. But did Boise St. become a G5 powerhouse playing it safe against Oklahoma? No they did not. We need to do the same.

As the great Wayne Gretzky once said: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" and the only shots Mac has been taking are of the Grey Goose variety

Anyone catch the comment regarding different QB's strengths?  He was responding to a question regarding opening up and throwing more downfield.  He mentioned that they try to leverage each of the QBs strengths when they are in the game.  Greer has his strengths, Smith can move in the pocket and open up the field, and he mentioned McNulty's strength as XXXX.  I missed it.  Something about RSO or something.  I assumed he was referencing something that meant short passing game or timing or something but did not catch it.

Is that like a pre-snap check?  Or is that during the play?  Because if that's during the play, he's not very good at this at all.

It's a post snap read. Usually a linebacker/D-end/safety. The ball is snapped, if the player being read crashes the QB will pull it and throw. If they hang back, he'll hand the ball off.

The TD pass to Marcus Smith was an RPO commonly referred to as "Pop". The defense played the run and all shifted left, opening up the seam down the right side

Sounds a bit unstable when people do that

Crikey we're being harsh on the 3rd person reference thing.  

Look, Stan R don't care if the ole' OC coach uses 3rd party references. 

Stan R don't give 2 craps if he campaigns for the HC position. 

Stan R... Isn't advocating hiring Chico.  

Stan R, however, does reserve the right to be excited about what Head Coach Chico brings to the table here to mix things up. 

Stan R doesn't appreciate the bashing of former OC now Head Coach Chico for frivolous things. 

Stan R things maybe we're a bit wound up over our team and program issues and that we are possibly taking out our frustrations on the poor temporary-almost-certainly-never-to-be-head-UNT-coach. 

Stan R things maybe we should all chill out and let Chico try to take on the impossible without us bashing his choice self-referential references.

      Attendance

      If Army fans weren't at least 40% of the crowd....there must have been alot of NT fans yelling for Army. The "NORTH" Westside "TEXAS" Eastside chant was the best all year...if I remember it was after a Army turn over 28519 attendance.

      Elf blew this one

      I won't lean either way on this one. Agree the defense played a hell of a game. I don't think EM would have tried the onside kick after the FG if he knew the defense would play as it did. If I was told we would give up 14 points to ARMY, I would have metaphorically bet the house we win. But had we shortened a drive or two more giving us the ball one or two more times, maybe we have enough to win. Offense had few penalties this game it seemed. I guess that happens when you only have the ball 15 minutes. You could argue not scoring 7 points on the opening drive, plus an apparent bad call on the goal line in the 2Q, lost the game. That the offense got as close as it did against the 28th ranked pass defense, the 3rd ranked run defense, the 1st ranked scoring defense that’s only giving up 11.25 ppg, and the 5th ranked defense overall is a tribute to both the offense and the defense. We had our shots and blew most of them. GMG

      Parking

      What do you expect them to do if every spot is claimed, either by donors or sales? They can’t make the passes get used, but can you imagine if they oversold that lot and people with valid passes showed up with no spot to park in?

      You are so right about all of this…and when we see any of it change, it’ll be an awesome day. I’ve been waiting since 1990…
