The only thing that I remember about Bob Tyler was when he was interviewed after the Oklahoma State game, and he voiced some very relevant, and accurate observations about North Texas.
"This is a large institution of higher learning with an excellent academic reputation. They have a very large alumni base in the metroplex. They have probably the best Band in the South/Southwest part of America. Yet they can't get people to show up to football games.......what the hell is wrong with these people? .......indeed.
However, he left out the best part. Our administration's lack of good sense and/or competence by hiring a coach with (as the British would say) a dodgy reputation. AFTER they had been advised by multiple people in the know, not to do so.
RIP Coach Tyler. Condolences to your family.
And their football program has won 3 bowl games and 2 conference championships in the 7 or 8 seasons since it was brought back.
They do a great job with recruiting in both football and basketball and seem to get a lot of support/private funding.
