I stumbled upon Coach McCarney in the UNT Bookstore yesterday. I overheard him saying that he's now hired all of his staff (not sure if thats news or not) and that he was there to buy all of his staff gift cards to the book store. He was also talking very enthusiastically to the store manager about next year's home opener and the need to fill the stadium. I guess that makes me a bit of a creep to eavesdrop, but what the hey :rolleyes:

I want to hear that he and his wife have purchased a house in Denton. If he is to be part of the community, he needs to live in the community.

Then, I want to hear from him here on GMG.com.

He's got far more important things to do then come on here and deal with a bunch of jackasses like us....

Is buying a house really an issue? What if he rents? is that unacceptable?

Agreed he needs to be a part of the community, the UNT community.

If he's part of the community, he lives here. I hate to use this reference, but Coach Fry bought a house and lived here. He's the North Texas Gold Standard. I feel strongly that Coach Mac should live in Denton. So yes, it's an issue.

He'll be on campus, in town, 250 days out of the year. He's not here to win over Denton, he's here to win football games. Our program needs to look beyond the small horizons of Denton. There's 2x as many people 7 miles south in Flower Mound/Lewisville, with 2x the the median income.

Where else would he live? The guy just moved from Florida! He'll be buying a house in Denton.

He's only been here a month. That's 30 days. When is the last time any of you moved to a new city, found a house, bought that house, closed on the house, and moved 1500 miles to that house in 30 days? Oh yeah, he has been putting his staff together and staying on top of recruiting efforts as well.

Give the guy a break. He will buy a house when he gets a chance.

Yes, I would rather have him win over DFW (5 million people) than just focus on Denton.

Given the financial commitment North Texas is making, I don't think it's too much to ask for him to have a house in the Denton County area. I hope he's looking for a place.

Joe, I definitely agree. Those of us who have been around the program for many years and live in Denton actually realize the value of having a HC who lives in Denton and, along with his family, becomes part of the Denton community.

Dude, I might stand solo in my feelings, but from 2000-2003, my time on UNT's campus, it never felt like the community supported the University. Might just be my perspective, but I'd much rather have a coach focused on the metroplex and that relationship than building the community relationship in Denton.

And I know, I don't live in Denton, but my perspective, as little as that means.

      The Death of the Walk-On?

      We weren't going to win head to head initially for players with a P4 scholarship offers, and sometimes not even for walkons. 20 more ships per P4 is not that much impact considering how many players there are. We get homesick kids and kids that just want a change and more access to the field. It's the P4 players #85-105 that we can still target and who will soon tire of being just practice fodder at a P4, even on scholarship. NT offers better opportunity for those players. Just think also of all the FCS, Dll, JUCO, etc level players there are too we can still attract. I believe Morris has a good eye for transfers that have interest in us. He just needs to overhaul the defensive side for next season.

      I'm just saying that I don't believe it's an embarrassment (if a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, etc.), I'm not saying I like it.

      This shouldn't be an excuse or make it acceptable.

      2024-25 MBB/WBB schedule news

      This isn't about missing any deadline, this is about underlying issues in the staff and/or the department. We are 5 days out from the season starting and are still missing 2 games from the schedule, 349 other teams have managed to complete their schedules while we still have not. How is that acceptable? Well run programs do not have this happen. By competitive I mean good solid programs, I've already named the types of programs we should be bringing in on the 3rd post of this page. Not only are we not bringing those programs in, we are waiting to the last days to bring in teams like Wayland Baptist. Something is not as it should be here, and whatever it is needs to be addressed.
