I would have had no problem if it were a Big XII school, but this is a little disappointing:

From Star-Telegram Confidential:

Former Baylor cornerbacks coach Clay Jennings has been in to interview at TCU for their CB coaching position. He spent the past year at Baylor and was at Houston, Louisiana-Lafayette, Sam Houston State and Southern Arkansas (and other schools) before that. Jennings went to high school in Waco, and he played college ball at North Texas (defensive lineman 1992-95).

Clay has no reason to be sorry for keeping his career going in the positive direction. Clay is a class dude and deserves to go wherever HE believes his best opportunity to succeed (in t he future) and I guess that is TCU.

Also 40K difference in salary offer from TCU vs NT, and he still took a $60K pay cut from his BU salary. NT wanted him to cut it $100K. We are not even remotely competitive in coaches' salaries. The admins need to decide to fund this program if they want to SEIOUSLY COMPETE IN D-1. And no unlike SMU it did not take well healed alums to make a competitive offer for a good assistant, their administration knows where they want their program to go and backs it up with a real athletic budget not just lip service. Ours even fears its' students when it comes to doing the right thing and raising the athletic fee., but has no problem surcharging alums for season tickets, even though this should have been done long ago. You still get what you pay for, if you don't think so watch June Jones NEXT YEAR @ SMU---no 3 to 5 year plan for Mustangs. Unlike NT they plan to win NOW!!

Amen to this. How can the students get on board with the programs if the 'Higher ups' arent.

NT should raise coaches salaries, build a fantastic stadium, and cut out the money games. Now, we have given the administration all these great free ideas, all they have left to do is figure out how to fund them.

get the Eagles and Meatloaf to put on a benefit concert for the Mean Green...$50 tickets...or i guess we could invest $ on tickets and win the Megamillions jackpot

      It almost feels like the baseball farm system with us being AAA.

      Hope he makes the roster. Would be fun to watch him sling it in the NFL.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.
