Justin Gaines, one of the original members of Dan McCarneys staff at North Texas, has resigned.

Gaines coached UNTs cornerbacks and recruited Louisiana throughout his tenure with the Mean Green.

Trent Delahoussaye, the head coach at Loreauville, La., High said Monday that Gaines was no longer recruiting his star player, wide receiver/defensive Jermaine Antoine.

A source within the UNT athletic department later confirmed that Gaines resigned late last week.

Delahoussaye said that UNT safeties coach Noah Joseph has continued recruiting Antoine since Gaines left the staff. Delahoussaye said that TCU offered a scholarship to Antoine in the last few days. Antoine has yet to decide what he is going to do, but that he was upset by Gaines’ departure from the staff, which could impact his decision on where to sign

Antoine said Sunday afternoon that he was still committed to UNT following his visit to TCU, but also told Ryan Osborne, who works for PurpleMenace.com, Rivals.com’s TCU site, that he would seriousluy consider signing with TCU if the school offered him a scholarship.

Can't win for losing

Vito ... thanks a lot for breaking this story two days before signing day. I'm sure that will encourage McCarney to give you some inside scoop.

Yeah, I would think this has to do with another job. If McCarney wanted to replace him for coaching reasons you'd think that would have been done earlier.

Considering football scoop doesn't even have it yet, this might have been a tad overzealous... I guess the cat is out of the bag now

One would think Gaines could have used his brain and waited a couple days....unless this is some sort of serious personal matter...in which case officially resigning probably would not have been a priority anyway though.

Really funny how nothing ever goes right for us...oh wait, we did steal that one recruit from TSSM.

Not good news this close to signing day. One wonders why it came this close...hopefully, Coach Gaines got a job he thinks is bigger, better, etc. Just wish the announcement could have been held until after signing day. But, if the only reason the kid was coming to UNT was because of who recruited him, then not sure he was that solid a "yes" anyway. Sure hate to lose the kid to TCU.....double darn. But 18 year old kids have a way of doing interesting things....so until signing day is done and names are signed on dotted lines, I just will hold my breath and hope the kid "see the errors of his ways" here and comes home to UNT!

He may well see the pine for a good while at TCU where he would have seen earlier playing time at UNT perhaps...then there's that "potential" thing...seen a lot of "potential" go to waste on lots of football teams from HS to the pros. As the great philosopher says..."you never know until you know?.

I don't think you can lay blame at the feet of Vito. It appears he was following up on Antoine and found out through his coach, and then tried to confirm with McCarney, who hasn't responded. If McCarney left Antoine dangling then it is his own fault.

The kid just bitch-slapped us.... fill his role with someone else and let him seek himself at TCU and MAYBE get some playing time by his Junior Yr. As far as LA recruits....screw em. Too much has this happened to us in the past while passing up on Texas talent.

Devante Davis just left the team... Darius Carey couldn't stop being a stupid shit..... and then we have last year's last second switch of Royce LaFrance to sorry Tulane.

Quit wasting time going after kids who are that far away and wind up not panning out for us.

      Morris signals it is over

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      If her team doesn't win, her market value and name recognition will quickly decline. The team as a whole and coach make the value.
