Well, that's a good sign when solid P5 schools want to hire away your coaches.  Hate to lose him, but wish him well.

I might add . . . hopefully Coach Davis will tell McElwain to shut his piehole with his slanders about Josh Wheeler.

OL is a spot we need a good coach, not a great recruiter..

Maybe SL will take this open spot and fill it with an OL coach who is known for recruiting?

Davis did a solid job recruiting.  Probably best job per position.

It's a good sign if you can afford to hire replacements.  Dickey had constant assistant churn, it was one of the things that really hampered recruiting for that staff.

Should we look for Lefty?  Seriously seems like we've hired from Florida but never lost one to there.  Congrats to Davis and kudos to Littrell for making such a solid hire.  Now we need him to do the same.  This is a Critical position coach especially right now.

agreed OL Coach could have a huge impact, and needs to be someone with ties to Texas.

Maybe out of left field but what about Brian Waters? Not sure if he would want to coach or if he would be a good fit but he knows how to play the oline and a former alum that was an All-Pro seems like a good fit. 

don't think he has very many ties with the school or program at this point.  I would love to have him around more for sure.... just don't think throwing him in at OL is the right move with no prior exp.

Won't have ties to Littrell but wow he would be an amazing guy to have with his success at the NFL level.

Whole heartedly disagree.  Every position coach better be a dang good recruiter.  Don't believe me? Look at UTSA class, and UNT class.  I'm sure our coaches will get plenty out of this class, but recruiting matters. 

 

hmmm ?!?

while yes we need to improve recruiting.. OL is not a spot that we need the best recruiter and bad coach.. if our OL is good/great it makes the other spots even better(just look at the cowboys).. Give me the best OL coach that is avg at recruiting. then other position groups we can bring in the great recruiters

This is a very young group with 5 True Freshman... Also, Davis seemed to have nice recruiting edge in Houston as well..

I agree, What's the budget to hire an Oline coach? Would we give a pay bump for a coach or would we keep it the same for the new coach? Maybe Wren can work out something to get us extra money for the position. It is one of the most important on the staff and he needs to be able to not only be a good coach but be able to get the talent at the position.

REALLY hate to see Davis leave our coaching team, but that's the way football go. He probably got a nice financial incentive and he's headed to a good program. All the best, Coach Davis, and thanks for your service to UNT.

Davis was making 150k. i think we should shell out that much for his replacement and also increase the pay for our DCs. No reason why Graham Harrell should be making more than Reffett and Ekeler. I also do not believe that any of our coaches should be making under 100k at this point... except for maybe the recruiting coordinator. 

I hate to lose brad Davis. He seemed like he was a great coach and our oline may have actually over achieved last year believe it or not.

Why yes, yes we do. If you had an exceptional NFL career I think we can find a place somewhere on the staff for you!

Well Harrell is the solo OC while EK and Reff split so I'm ok with that even if I question some play calling. I can't question that our QB recruits/transfers have been the best in some years and I credit that to Harrell.

I agree that he should be paid what he is being paid... i just thing Eke and Reffett should be paid more. maybe Reffett should be at 190-200k and eke a bit above that. Also, nate brown is due a raise above 100k and, once june hits, Mainord is losing his 200k check from Kentucky and will be due a raise to about 150-160k from the 75k we paid him this past year. Anyway this goes, we will need to pay about 200k more to these coaches after next season to be competitive in retaining what we have or hiring their replacements.

But then the question becomes how much do we have to shell out to get him.

      Yes to all. Fans come to support our school against another school. If players want to be paid (beyond a scholarship) to represent the school, then it's simply time for contracts.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      Even the "Brand" programs are losing players to the portal. Maybe Ross can sign this guy for us? I heard he likes to play slow offense and lots of defense. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40025291/seton-hall-star-kadary-richmond-enters-transfer-portal "Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond entered the transfer portal Thursday afternoon, potentially becoming the best player available in the portal. Richmond had long been rumored to be considering a transfer, with Big East and area rival St. John's a potential landing spot for the Brooklyn native."

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      You guys are all delusional. I have a hard time believing that the cut-off will be 30ish teams. Its obvious that's where it is in reality, and dollars (revenue, budgets, etc). But too many of these schools have enough delusional donors who are willing to keep throwing money at it. Why does NIL make that change? I think most of you don't actually talk to any of these big money guys. They aren't jumping out....they are jumping in. And always have. Now it's legal to pay players to win...so anyone with a conscious before when it was illegal doesn't have that hanging over them now. See SMU, Baylor, etc. We're all a bunch of poor schmo's here. Look at the scroll that runs across this very site. That ain't big money scrolling through here. True some of the big donors post on here, but not the Ryans or the 4 billionaire types that fund dirty schmoo.
