That was the biggest letdown ever.... I seriously thought Todd Dodge was leaving our program and we were looking for a successor.

Expect major changes for the Dallas Cowboys organization, as for North Texas not so lucky....

Interesting point. Guess they have expectations over there at Valley Ranch.

Well guys, I hate to admit when I am wrong but after Buford Julip's recent post on who started the ASU game I am convinced that nobody, in this current football program, can remedy our current situation.

1. I think I am the one on "green cool-aid" watching this thing we call NT football.

2. When I think of NT defence I now go to de fence in my back yard and blow industrial chunks into my neighbor's back yard & blame it on his dogs.

3. emmitt is right, 2+2=4

I, for one, along with the other financially secured alum, on this board & off, will start a "Buy-Out Fund" for TD and staff and a concurrent fund to hire another really good coach this time for about $750K to $1,000,000 per year on a four year contract.....let us not forget incentives, clothes, car, expenses & etc. as extra at the end/beginning of the year.

If the new coach is successful we will have to "pony-up" another $1,000,000 or so per year on a multi-year contract. Naturally, if some of you do not have deep enough pockets just message me on this board anonymously and I will not post your name because that would be like getting kicked in certain parts of your anatomy.

I know this venture is "kinda" like a crap shoot but what else can we do but reach in our deep pockets to pull this off?? NT does not have any substantial funds to do this without going begging to the state legislature & we all know those guys down in Austin are Big 12 supporters.

If we can't come up with the millions (and reserves just in case the new coach is successful) in cash then it is back to square #1 at this poor state school we call NT: crap shoot for another hc in 3 years from some conference's assistant ranks.

Well, for one, I am excited to get this thing rolling......

who is the first donor and for how much???

we will keep a running tally on this board.

emmitt?? how much can I count you in for??

90?? how 'bout you buddy??

80?? you in??

playmaker?? time to ante up...put your money where you mouth is.

99?? hope you ain't all talk...how much can I put you down for?

are we almost there yet.....???? I think we need, at least $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 to start....what is ya'lls gut opinion???

Your right, woa is poor little us. We are to poor to do what other schools do with less resources. We should accept our lot in life. We should never expect anything from our Athletic department, because we are just poor little ole UNT, that teacher/music/commuter school up North of Big D.

Sarcasm aside, there is a provision in Dodge's contract where he can be reassigned to any job at the school. IF RV wanted to, he could do this, and Dodge would immediately resign. So, no, we don't need to raise a gabillion bucks to change coaches. Another great myth, or excuse, that is stated by several on this board.

Not saying this should happen just yet, that would be RV's call.

Do we get something for our lapels whence we donate? Like a green SOW? Or a yellow star?

whoa, guys i am serious......!!!

no sarcasm.

we just need to go, en mass, to rv's office with our proposal to "reassign" td (so he can quit....maybe) and hire someone who can "immediately" turn this program around.

you know, of course, if td don't quit we are stuck with his salary for the next three years.

80?? what you in for??.....your beer money for next week??

90?? how 'bout you??......a couple of hundred dollars??

CBL?? yes....you do get a green sow and a pretty yellow star....this will be like one of PBS's "beg-a-thons" and your donations will earn you a green sow or the highly prized yellow star or whatever color star you want......we can even arrange that we can name a real star after you.

I saw Valkerie yesterday with my father-in-law and it reminded me that there are always happy endings if you just keep after it and don't give up.

Where are you going to find that kind of money?

Want in one hand and you know the rest. You guys can play the "we can do anything the other guys do" playing field if you want but the facts just don't add up. We don't have the revenue. For every Turner Gill you will find a hundred Brent Guys.

How about Gary Barnett. He's not doing much these day. Is he? Maybe he'd like another chance at coaching. Winning was never really his problem, though he might have a little trouble selling a recruit's family on trusting him with their kid.

Well, I've never called for Dodge to leave, but for adding a special teams coach, and you already called me on that...I'll admit you were right on not needing to add the expense of that new position. I've changed my position from adding a special teams coach to simply replacing the one we had for the last two years, with one who has some collegiate special teams coaching experience. Yes, I think we can get an affordable ST coach from the DII or FBS level of college football. Hmmm, the yellow star? Based on past history, I'll pass.

You HAVE to give Wade some time to get his own players in place. This cupboard was pretty empty when he took over.

Cowboys didn't have a chance because they play in an old stadium. You see, football teams can't be expected to win if they have an old stadium. Maybe the Cowboys will get a new stadium some day...

And what a nice stadium they will get really soon. That new thing is huge. Drive by it sometime when you have time.

I have at least twice. I feel sorry for the managers of the Wal-Mart that is directly across the street. While they will be selling a lot of stuff on game day, they will also be chasing people off their parking lot who are trying to get free parking for the game, or setting up their tailgating in the parking lot.

      I say we stay put and fight

      I’m out at the Big 12 Baseball Tournament this week and we are all in the same boat. Kansas State, TCU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech are all going to run into the same issues we are. They have good but not huge fanbases. Their top talent will be poached by the two leagues. They will have connectivity issues between players and fans like we will. They will have trouble getting their fans to dump money into the black hole that is players salaries. We actually have a heck of a recruiting edge over many places and we need to use that leverage immediately: 1. Smoking business climate. 2. Top sports market in the country. 3. Countless cultural experiences. 4. Robust shopping nightlife scene. 5. Mild winters. 6. No state income tax. When this movement takes on a full throttle professional business model, UNT will be poised to compete and lure talent equal to those not in the SEC and Big. We will need to professional horses in the Athletic Department. But I like our potential. Live work and showcase in DTX, Stillwater, Albuquerque, Boston, Corvallis, Ames or Boca Raton. You can see how this could possibly play out. Yes, go in sell and fight. GMG

      I say we stay put and fight

      What has the NCAA done for UNT and where does it fit in the future. No way in hell should they be negotiating a financial commitment for UNT. You look at the NIL lawsuit and a lot of the claims could also be the same claims for G4’s. Combine and take legal action.

    3. 2

      I say we stay put and fight

      We have to adjust to the circumstances or we are cowards. Don't forget the serenity prayer. Yes this NCAA thing and NIL is a mess but it will ultimately work its way out one way or another. The university has directed too much towards facilities and the programs to walk away. And I like what another poster said, let's band together with other G5 and sue the hell out of them. They all receive federal funding and any judge and jury would see this as monopolistic.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      Your opinion and I've got mine. P4's can be paid/professional....G5's can be traditional College Football Players on Scholarships. Professional versus Amature don't mix.
      RBP79 in Mean Green Football
    5. 14

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      No to this. There are already established models all over the sports world that can be followed here in college sports. None of them punish a player for making it to a top level team. That's what this would do. Instead, the focus is usually on trying to get a return on the investment. Which means that they will want to help the player continue to develop and hope the player's value eventually meets or exceeds the contract. Allow the big schools to loan guys out, or sell for pennies on the dollar.
