Which Staff Members do you hope stay?

[El Paso Eagle]

First, I believe the HC should be allowed to hire his staff and not "forced" to keep anyone.

With that said, I would hope these guys stay stay?

• Patrick Cobbs
• Luke Walerius 
• Randy Clements 

[UNTLifer]

I would add Adrian Mayes to that list.  We have a good group of TE's.

[DentonLurker]

I think Cobbs is probably the only one who stays, but it all depends on who the new coach is.

Those 3 plus Coach Mayes.

Cobbs for sure. He's done a great job with our RBs AND he bleeds green and white!!!!

Patrick Cobbs

Luke Walerius 

that's all from me

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Patrick Cobbs. 

If our new guy sends him packing he can go ahead and escort himself out. 

[DentonLurker]

Not to hijack this thread, but I would love the new HC to consider bringing Marcus Trice onto his staff as a defensive coach. I would love to see at least 1 former player as a coach on each side of the ball. Cobbs/Trice would be a good combo in my mind. If you could get Mason in here as an offensive analyst or something, that would be cool to me too.

Thanks for your informed opinion!
I'm glad the guys took to coach Clements.    I hope he can stick around, because he's a fantastic OL coach.

I stated this earlier. Recruiting coordinator + coaching capacity. 

Coaches must be hired on their ability to recruit, firstly. MT would be a solid addition.

How about adding Zach Orr back into the fold as a DC?  I always thought he was a great motivator.

This should not ever be a requirement.   EVER.    We want the best coaches to be in those positions.  I don't care if they graduated from SMU.

And Mason's a little busy playing professional football to join as an analyst.

Bring this man back to Denton! Put him in a position where he cannot be ignored!

I completely agree with you. I have stated in another thread I would let the new coach make ALL his own calls. I would just love to see some of our former players involved in the program when there's opportunities and they can help the program.

I get that. I just figure he's probably not going to play in Canada forever. If there's a chance to get him involved in this program when he's ready to move on, I'd love to see it.

I love Zach (he was my adopted player for 2 years!)   And he's no-doubt put himself in a position to be a great defensive coach learning from Wink Martindale & Joe Cullen, so he's not "just an alumnus".   He's in the NFL right now.  I don't know if he would want to come back to CFB.

[golfingomez]

Maybe Cobbs... but honestly, i want the new coach to be able to not feel hamstrung by anyone he 'has' to maintain. I hope that whoever the new coach is comes in with an objective way to evaluate the current staff and make appropriate decisions related to who stays on board.

This ain't 2010.   The Recruiting Coordinator is it's own position.  It has to be.  It's a full-time job.   Heck, even the recruiting coordinator has staff under him.

Trice isn't going to simply be a recruiting coordinator.    And Walerius is pretty good at that job.   If the new HC wants to consider him as a Safeties coach, I'm not against it!

[UNTcrazy727]

I like how fans always criticize coaches for loyalty and nepotism hires, but then we demand they hire/keep every former player that's a coach lol

Then that, or whatever. Don't matter, as long as he's in green and has a very fruitful recruiting territory assigned to him.

Naw. I demand results first. 

Secondly, I know the personality of Marcus Trice and how we will be a recruiting magnet. 

Patrick Cobbs, playing resume or not, has done a great job. He is also a great advocate of UNT. 

They have built-in interest for UNT (not career advancement) and they will/have do great jobs. 

[MeanGreen4Life1998]

Patrick Cobbs, Matt Passwaters and Adrian Mayes

[C Rod]

Coach Cobbs must be protected at all costs.

I really like PC, but from a career builder does he need to move on at some point to move up?
