Just a thought

If we pony up with some cash then I think so. Its going to take a hire like that to get people interested in the program.

[bigrobdsp]

no not under any circumstance. reguardless of money

hence why I brought it up.

Maybe that is what UNT has to do

[SUMG]

You really think it would take Leach to get people interested in the program? Heck, we had 23,740 out to see a 4th year coach who had a career record of 5-32 coming in to this game.

I think our fans are there. And I think they would be there to give ANY new coach a chance. Leach or anybody. And I'm not anti-Leach.....just speaking up for our fanbase.

It's just that this "close but no cigar" crap is getting old.

I was thinking on a more regional and national level. I know we'll always have our fans who come to games, but Leach would attract some serious attention.

[GangGreen]

Larry Coker, national championship under his belt, is the coach of UTSA and they don't even have a team, yet. Leach or someone of his caliber would come here, but our ad-menstruation needs to show that it is serious about it's goals.

I'm sorry but that doesn't impress me, there is so much more out there than that I know UNT can accompolish, we are too big a school to NOT think more than what we have now.

The point is if you start winning, think how many more you would draw. You will have sell outs next year if this team can figure out a way to win.

I hope to god I never never never ever see any version of the wildcat ran again by this team

[NT91]

Nut job.. it would be fun.

[NorthTexan95]

The thing about bringing a high profile coach is not only do you have to pay his salary but you also have to pay the assistants he will want to bring in. That will be a big issue if we need to hire a new head coach this off season.

[Travis]

Leach would be an interesting hire.

Best thing that would ever happen to UNT.... Everybody needs a little bit of hazing in their life

[Cr1028]

100% agree. Excluding Hayden Fry, North Texas is where FBS head coaching careers die.

[Green Crazy]

I'm curious to what you think we could pull together to get him here. We pay dodge mid 200's. He was making close to 3 mill, if I'm not mistaken. You think our alum could do that?

[NT80]

I'm not sure we want that kind of attention. Does the program have lawyers on retainer?

He's a good coach, but too much pirate in him for me.

[GrayEagle]

Leach is a good coach but I'm not even sure that he's available until his law suit is settled. He wouldn't be my first or second choice, however. Those would belong to two brothers with the same last name. Do we have enough money to hire either Terry or Tommy Bowden? Another candidate that I'd like to see here is Jeff Bower. And why not? It seems like half of our staff was at Southern Miss at one time or another.

[Rudy]

If we do end up with a new coach, I suspect it will be Canales or DeLoach. Especially if the change were to happen before the end of the season and one of them were named interim HC.

[Green Mean]

Although a severe long shot...Leach would SLIGHTLY consider coming here if we money whipped him with about 2 million a year and an option to have more AD duties/be the AD in waiting of the future for when and if RV retires. If we gave him that opportunity then I think he would at least consider it for a few minutes.

[UNTLifer]

For our sake, I hope not.

[Green Mean]

For our sake, I hope not.

I hope you're being sarcastic.

I would love leach to come to NT...what are some other possible candidates out there??

[NT03]

It will be Jeff Bower or Steve Kragthorpe

The first ones that come to mind from the top of my head would be Dennis Franchione and Jeff Bower.

If I was RV I would consider Dirk Koetter. He was the Boise State head coach before Dan Hawkins took over. He pretty much started that great Boise State run we are seeing these days. I think he would be an awesome candidate and wouldn't cost that much.
