Per multiple sources. I am hearing lil Barnett is getting bad info

Mattress Mack can go stuff a mattress!   He has done nothing for NT since holding it hostage and requiring the practice fields be named for his likewise crony friend DD.

I'm sure Mosley is intently listening to the guy with a flying worm dick as his profile picture

This guy's record looks like Littrell's, and the fact that he did a poor job recruiting at V.T. should be a bright red flag. My first choice was Perry followed be either Gillespie or Riley.

This is one of the most bass-ackward things I've read on here in the past few weeks.   
From the incorrect "record" assessment (may want to go back and take a second look Wardly... actually, I can help you because I have time:  Littrell, 44-44.  Fuente, 69-54), to wanting Perry as your "first choice"!?!?    Just backwards.

Why are we throwing names out like Keeler and Perry, if Riley, Gillespie, and Fuente are interested? Wouldn’t we hear something about them? From my perspective I don’t think they are interested. If true, then we’re in trouble

Who is "we"?
No doubt, Keeler & Perry's names got out there because their agents wanted their clients to be associated with the UNT HC search.  Even if the interview was just a single interview.   The more disturbing fact is that a guy like Barnett would decide to run with it.

I'm actually very impressed with how well Smatresk & Mosley have kept this search under wraps.

What was his record at V.T.? Have you read anything about his tenure there? I want some one with Texas high school ties and a successful college career as a coordinator  such as what TT and UTSA  have. It may be backasswards but our last two hires had no Texas backgrounds and both were fired.

I wouldn't say Fuente is a bad recruiter. We would have been thrilled to have some of these classes.

As I was saying[ not], lets hire Eric Morris from Washington State who fits the bill as a successful coach with Texas roots.

I was wrong about his record at V.T. Just asking but I wonder why he was fired there. His record at Memphis was about 500 and much better at V.T.  I'm sure he will do well at his next stop. I just wanted a profile similar to UTSA and TT as our next head coach.

I’m not sure if you are joking or being serious but he was only at WSU for a year. 11 of his 13 seasons as a coach were in Texas. All 4 of his seasons as a head coach were in Texas. His entire high school and college playing career was in Texas. The man was born and raised in Texas, lived on this planet 37 years, at least 34 of them in Texas. Could you please tell me how he doesn’t have Texas roots or were you joking?

Dang, this is a rough crowd. I'm 75, and spent all my life in Texas except for a couple of years in the Army and a couple of years in the Pacific Northwest (after graduating from then NTSU). Just spit balling the numbers, it looks like I'm in the same boat as Morris as far as "Texas roots" (and hey, I don't know about him, but I've got the drawl). Of course some here say he's never coached any quarterback, been a head coach or coached at the G5 level, so maybe some board members here have more to prove than he does.

I wasn’t trying to be rude and apologize if I came off that way. I genuinely did not understand and wanted to see if maybe I was missing the joke.

Joking as he is exactly what I wanted but was not on my list. I think its a good hire but be careful what you wish for.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC has a media rights deal that runs through 2036 with massive financial penalties to leave. ACC schools make more money per school than the Big 12. The PAC had no media deal and zero financial penalty to leave the conference. The two situations couldn't be more different. ACC schools do not want to associate themselves with the likes of WVU, Cincy, UCF, Texas Tech, OK State and the other Truck Stoppers.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC will be picked apart just like the PAC was. Big12 will help in the raiding, just as they did with the PAC.
