UNT Making Moves

So it's a slow time of the year for UNT athletics and athletics in general.  However -if you follow UNT Athletics closely - there are some very positive signs.  First and foremost, it seems we finally have a President who cares.  Hiring is based on results, but clearly bringing in Seth Littrell and his quality group of assistants appears to be a huge step up.  We have discussed at length the positive move getting consultants Trip Kuehne and Michael Sicuro involved in the review of the AD and the positive things that will come from that.  Next, we have a new AD hire nearing which should have a tremendous impact on the direction and future of the program.  It has already been revealed that our coaches and facilities need attention and it seems that they are already making positive steps. Today we learn that a bonafide recruiting coordinator has been hired, and one who has some experience and pedigree.  This has been a glaring issue for many years now.

In this slow time of the year, it is easy to forget some of the moves being made by UNT Athletics.   It's always an easier road to point out the negatives of which will all know there have been many.  The proof will be in the pudding of course but I applaud them for clearly trying to right this ship. gmg

So quick question, What does a recruiting coordinator do? Break down film for coaches? or just someone that helps get the kids to campus for visits and other perks?

Recruiting coordinator does a TON. NOT including or limited to, video review, scheduling coaches and their stops on recruiting trips. Developing HS relationships. Setting up a board for coaches to evaluate future classes. Social media, etc

I know they meet with him regularly; not sure about the details of the report.  AD hiring is probably the main focus right now.

And until we know who that hire is, the title of this thread is kinda mute, no?

      I had forgotten about that. I just hope she is good mentally. I feel like she just needs to trust her stuff. She throws hard and spins the ball at an incredible rate, but it appears in the big games she thinks she needs a little extra, and the ball gets away from her. It's almost a little like Nuke Laloosh in Bull Durham. Her brain gets in the way. There aren’t many with better stuff than her. She needs a little Skylar in her. Savage steps up in the big games and is just, well, savage. Just a bulldog on the mound. Childers needs to find her inner savage, trust her stuff and just pitch. Love how aggressive the offense was today. Put the ball in play coupled with smart, aggressive base running made me think of the team of two years ago. I have a good feeling about this tournament.

      Morris signals it is over

      Flawed logic in my view. It is not a lack of commitment to athletics, it is the inability to raise the level of funds necessary to compete at the highest level. You really think the average Alabama fan is anymore committed to sports than the average NT fan? If anything, I would say the average NT fan is more committed. It doesn't take near as much effort to support a dominant top tier program as a fringe team with very limited resources and the loses that go along with that funding level. There are maybe a handful of athletic programs outside of the B10 and SEC that can really compete in D1 football. Most D1 schools are dependent on school and student funds to even field football teams. That is the exact opposite of your expressed point that it is somehow the fault of the administration, students or alumni that schools like NT can't compete.

      This is exactly what I’ve been saying. Let the top 30 or 40 be the professional league and let the rest of us get back to playing college football.
