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.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      Wow a sobering statement indeed. This has to be having an energy effect on most programs. Will college football actually become less popular? I mean the power programs say no way, never. I am not so sure about this. It won’t go as niche as golf. But investment works 2 ways. GMG

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      From where Jimbo Fisher sits now, after years of coaching high-level college football programs, he sees a clear divide between the well-resourced programs in the SEC, Big Ten and a few other conferences and the rest of the world of college football. He went so far as to allude to certain FBS schools functionally becoming developmental stops. “Here’s what’s happening, all of your mid-majors and a lot of your not-mid-majors, I’m going to say some of your ACC, Big 12, old Pac-12, some of those leagues, they’re becoming glorified junior colleges,” Fisher said. “And some of those teams used to battle for playoffs and have great teams. They took that three-star guy or that four-star guy you missed and they developed him into a heck of a player and he became a great player at their school. Fisher used arguably the best football player currently alive to make his argument: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was drafted out of Texas Tech with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. “How about Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech? Would he have ever stayed at Texas Tech? Somebody would have came and got him,” Fisher said. “You know what I’m saying? And what’s happening, your haves are out there saying, ‘OK, I need a corner and I need a tackle and I need a running back.’ And they’re going to these four-year schools and just selecting, and those guys are really becoming glorified junior colleges, and it’s a shame. I mean great college football programs that have won big in the past and have had tremendously great players. But that what’s changed.” Link: https://www.on3.com/news/jimbo-fisher-claims-some-conferences-are-becoming-glorified-junior-colleges/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2rlzMeo_cEPD6TpbFAWoEUVqgpt_yqatMT52gyT6HICo_nyEvr2nFGOKc_aem_AfsuZvKQBBs_SzhuB_qg2qO7ZdN1vheq_Ks56BhKzhGA_HOPkEAyCuXzJk-zHgdQwWoqZ88nbNvoDCh4vmow0o4n

      Big 12 Pursuing Duke

      This content is based on recent public actions of ACC schools that want the opportunity to leave the ACC for more revenue and/or more security in a better conference. There are limited spots left in the SEC and Big10, so time matters. The Big12 would provide basketball schools with security in the best P4 basketball league.
