Jones - "I'll bring a couple of guys" from North Texas, but he's also pushing for an assistant to get the UNT job.

I'm sure he's pushing Forrest for the job. We just don't know if RV is listening.

If Forrest was offered the job then they probably want to wait a few days so the women's hire can have his time in the spot light.

95, I agree. Also, I saw a couple of asstants at lunch and I flat out asked if they were going to LSU. Both said they did not know.

I wonder what assistant he is recommending. Not sure it would be Forrest, Jones has an eternity with Leonard and a lot of time with Foy. I would certainly want Jones' input and I think it would be particularly meaningful if he is pushing Forrest for the job over his long time assistants.

You can bet he is pushing Forrest. He connects with the players the best of the current staff. I don't think Charlie wants to be a head coach. I know Foy was good at Paris, but I just don't see him as the head coach. I think if Forrest is the HC, then I think Charlie and Lister will stay. Don't know about Foy. FYI, he was not with the group at lunch, but Forrest was.

If Forrest is the star recruiter that's responsible for bringing TM, CJ and JW to Denton, why would JJ not be trying like heck to bring him to LSU??

Because he may like the guy and want him to get a chance as an HC.

I know this is Basketball and not Football. But I remember the last time a successful coach left North Texas (Fry) and recommended one of his assistants to replace him (Brashier). We didn't listen then, and the rest is history......and not a fun history either.

I like this trend that is developing.

I really think it's time for us to stop making decisions based on the ghosts of yesteryear.

If making a decision and it going badly was the only reference point for NT athletics we'd never make another decision.

I hope Charlie stays. I hope Charlie stays. On a personal note- I've developed a nice friendship with him.
