UNT made the switch on its coaching staff official today, announcing that Mike Nelson has ridden off into the sunset and retirement on his motorcycle and will be replaced by Kevin Patrick, a former South Florida assistant coach.

We have talked about both moves extensively, but have yet to delve into the departure of one of the more interesting figures in recent UNT history in terms of assistant coaches.

Nelson was around for five seasons, which is a pretty long time in the world of college athletics. I don’t think we ever exchanged more than a passing hello in all that time.

I think that in time we'll be better off if Patrick stays here as long as Nelson. I believe that if Kevin Patrick doesn't have the players that he'll go get them. He's a much better recruiter and will get the best available. I couldn't be more pleased with this hire. Let us hope that the day of the 260 lb DT is past. i'm exicited about the direction of our defense.

      Noland To New Mexico

      My point is the place isn't just a lousy city where nothing is going on (which has been used both to say there is nothing but basketball to do there or why would anyone go there) like has been bandied about. More people visit there for tourism in a given year than Denton probably gets in ten.

      Noland To New Mexico

      Noland didn’t choose ABQ for national monuments, tramways or winter entertainment.

      Noland To New Mexico

      Albuquerque has a lot of tourism videos out there. Hell, my wife and I just went through there recently and stopped at Petroglyphs National Monument and took the Sandia Tramway. I LOVE Denton, but Denton doesn't have a National Monument or a tramway that goes up to 10,300 feet to watch the sunset. Albuquerque also an hour away from Santa Fe which is a great place to visit. Would I rather live there than Denton? No. But I can see why many would and I can definitely see why a 20 year old would.

      Reece Mooney could be gone too

      Maybe he put the seat down. Again, the lesson to work hard and move up the depth chart is lost in these kids. It has become, “Don’t get what I want, move along to somewhere else”.
