Strictly from resume standpoint,  Fuente was just a cut above anyone else. AAC 'ship (more specifically, a 'ship at the top G5 level).  multiple players in the NFL.  Some called him the home run hire.  I feel like he was at least the safe hire.

Below Fuente, I never felt like anyone else was a home run.  Everyone was splitting hairs about various coordinators, recruiters, and HCs at the lower level.  Eric falls into the same tier, again strictly resume here, as what I saw from anyone else we were looking at. 

So, off resume, I think we all want someone who wants us to succeed.  wants to figure this out.  That was. big talking point for Carthel, and why I was on board with him.  based on what JD is saying, it sounds like that is exactlywhat happened in Eric's interview.  If this guy has Carthel-level desire to win here, I'm absolutely in favor of this hire.

Sad day for UNT... It is embarrassing and it shows we're incapable of conducting national level searches outside of Texas. You'll hear in the next few days that he has "great connections to Texas" but

Wow... We're screwed...   Have fun recruiting the scraps and rejects of the DFW area... Apparently that "Texas connection" means so much for these people...

I agree with your take. If this is the case and he is motivated to take us to the next level he is a great hire.

If there is a transfer portal for fans, you need to jump in it. We'd support you 100%!

This isn't only directed at you but yall need to stop with all this, even if people have different views no need to actively try to get rid of them. Every team has fans that hate every move no matter what but are still fans. Everyone on here just wants the best for the athletic teams we love.

Yes, but the non-stop negative posting is beyond tiresome.  That and the defaced Flying Worm avatar tell me he’s more troll than fan.

My only callout is we will be competing with GJ Kinne at Texas State for those current UIW assistants on Kinne's former staff. UIW will also want a new HC and coordinators that they can promote from within. 

Would you rather coach in the Sun Belt or the AAC?

Yeah no wonder the attendance is terrible even after 6 bowl appearances in 7 seasons... You make irrelevant hires like this, nobody is going to care.

 

I know the students don't care. Don't come crawling to us begging for us to come to games. We do not care anymore and you've got your own little cult to worry about. Bye

Your fellow students wouldn't know Fuente, Morris, Riley or Gillespie, etc...  They just want to win as we do.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      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.
