That isn't true.  The reaction to hiring SL was incredibly positive.  The reaction to firing RV was incredibly positive.  When positive things are done positive reactions can be expected.

Now even on this thread there are some people who think its a good design, feedback from them is positive.  Those who think it's bad, the feedback is negative.

I happen to know/work with several web specialists.  Feedback from them was universally negative.  "Dated", "Hard to read", "trendy 10 years ago", "vomiting up info about an organization in the hopes that it will lure people in vs. answering questions/problems prospective athletes might have."

I think the last one is probably the one that needs to be addressed the most.  On every single possible screen that comes up, there should be some sort of action button or link for recruits to reach out and contact the coaches, instead of having one small text link at the bottom that is ambiguously titled "football questionnaire."

For example:  http://biology.unt.edu/

What is the primary purpose of that site?  To get people to apply to the program.  What is on every single page?  A button to Apply Online.    

What is the purpose of the SL website?  To get recruits/coaches to contact the NT coaches.  What is not on every single page?  A way for recruits/coaches to contact the NT coaches.  

I think that we have seen so much technology shite from this athletic department for so long that ANY improvement was met with giddy excitement. It's like being happy with the used Ford Taurus you got from your parents in high school. It wasn't a Shelby Cobra like you wanted but it sure wasn't the Pinto you were used to either.

I think it looks great on my desk top, tablet and I-phone.  The ones it pisses off are the tech gurus/nerds.  It is a step in the right direction and looks great.

Except of course if it impresses a recruit and he still has no idea how to reach out and contact the staff it's not really doing a great job now is it?

Where do people who still call iPhones an "I-phone" and desktops "desk tops" fall on this phantom spectrum of middle-aged coolness?

About two notches ahead of people that think dick jokes are funny and use David Hasselhoff as their member photo.  I see my post hurt three guru/nerds feelings.  Love it.

Whoa - the old grudge from the unofficial board policer is back, baby! I'm just glad to see you've finally found something to type about besides how much you're avoiding 90's posts. This is huge progress and should majorly unclog the board.

Both of you knock it off.

Web design arguments tear families apart.

What about that other thread with the web design argument?

Extremely loud and not the biggest fan truth be told.  But it should continue to improve over time.

It looked good to me but I am by no means a tech-savvy person. Could any of you that have good tech sense, send suggestions to the folks that created the site so they can make it better? All for the greater green good.
